Howard Howard Howard... You state "After all, this is a man whose lifework has been putting up giant buildings that resemble bowling trophies, some of them in the service of one of the worst activities of our time, legalized gambling, which is based on the socially pernicious idea that it’s possible to get something for nothing."

Nonsensical is invoking the name of God “Oh my God…” when you don’t believe in him. Your confused it seems, in past posts you made claims that God is dead and here you state there is no God (which is it) so it is thereby up to you to prove your claim when challenged. Of course you would suggest I see a shrink, your down to the last few school yard tactics you seem to favor when at odds with someone.

And why exactly are you holding PM's? I will assume you buy PM's because you expect them to go up, reset or not. To expect PM price's to go up when YOU decide they should is more than arrogant.

Governments are only interested in controlling what people learn, not allowing non-conventional education. When they can't control the curriculum they are in danger of having a population that will think outside of the box they want everyone to stay in. It all boils down to control, if they spoon feed kids the crap being taught these days they have a very good understanding of how the kids will think, what they ...
