    Actually Saying "Bye"

    I still have a few Google ad units on the website. Maybe you drifted into one of them. I don't have much control of what is put into that ad space. About 10 years ago, the UK tried to implement a ranked ballot into its elections. From a democratic standpoint, it makes more sense to me to have a...

    Actually Saying "Bye"

    Hmmm. I can't recall my website asking for anyone's phone number. As for the visuals, I think my website's stye is 15 years out of date. I would like to revamp it and kind of have a plan in place for a modern look. But between a little money problem and visitors likely not responding...

    Actually Saying "Bye"

    Hello DPers I figure this forum is the best place to say "Good Bye." And PD is the most vibrant internet forum I've been on, so I'm not sure if people will even notice I've gone. But I like to bid adeau when I can. When I joined in September, I saw a lot left vs. right bickering and I wasn't...

    What are Inalienable Rights?

    Well said. I've been looking for these words when discussing rights with people who believe they come from God.

    The Money Masters

    If one has the smarts to understand monetarist economics, one should also have the smarts to benefit and hide the money trail. I saw an interview with Mr. Greenspan shortly after the crash. He claimed that setting up mortgages for people who couldn't afford them was still good economic policy...

    What are Inalienable Rights?

    This is the usual platitude that fails to shed any light. I'm coming to the conclusion that "rights" are the result of negotiation between a society and its citizens, and rights somehow get turned into laws.

    Crowd chants ‘lock him up’ as Roger Stone speaks outside courthouse

    Unfortunately, you and I have the same votes as everyone else. Ms Sanders is skillfully plying her trade to maintain Mr. Trump's base. While those outside the base are not so easily fooled, I give her full credit. In another vein, this whole dramatic episode is very indicative of what is wrong...

    The Flawed, Flawed Voter

    In my fickle voter, I was far from a political junkie. Then I joined a party and got hooked. Now, I've got some distance, but I can feel the addition. Federally and provincially, I usually spoil my ballot.

    The Flawed, Flawed Voter

    THE FICKLE VOTER As a young adult, I was somewhat cognizant of the political world. I read some newspapers and listened to CBC radio, but I wasn’t a great TV watcher. But my life priorities were my career, business, and social outings. I did take my responsibility as a citizen somewhat...

    Crowd chants ‘lock him up’ as Roger Stone speaks outside courthouse

    She handled those questions as best she could. The Trump base would be satisfied with such commentary. A less competent communicator would cause a slow defection of the base. I won't claim she answered the questions directly, but they were skillfully deflected. She is not the only political...

    Crowd chants ‘lock him up’ as Roger Stone speaks outside courthouse

    Actually I was impressed with how she handled those hard balled questions. Whether she believes her stories or not is, to me, a moot point. She is very skillful at her job.

    The Money Masters

    It is obvious you are my intellectual superior. There is no point in furthering this discussion.

    The Money Masters

    The documentary did seem a little over the top at times. I'm not sure we could say that the central banks actually caused the various wars. But I believe they had a big part in how the decision makers made their moves during the wars. I think it's historically correct that the 13 colonies did...

    Crowd chants ‘lock him up’ as Roger Stone speaks outside courthouse

    I'm impressed with this interview. Both the interviewer and interviewee showing great communication skills. I'm glad I'm not is this hotseat.

    The Benefits of Islam

    This history lines up with my previous readings. It is noteworthy that the rise of Islam coincided with the decline of two nearby empires. Seldom does a strong civilization replace another strong civilization.
