Environmentally, thermodynamically, financially, and philosophically we are living in times of extreme excess which cant go on forever. I don't pretend to know how or when things go in the future however.

I do not think 50 years from now it will be normal for a family to have: 3 4500 lb cars, burn hundreds or thousands of gallons of fuel in a year, live in a 3000 sqft HVAC house, eat thrice wrapped fast food with disposable utensils, goods so cheap and disposable that I could buy a couple TVs or microwaves on a whim to use for target practice........etc

Just rambling a bit I guess.........and well off topic. I'm sticking with the slow and consistent investing in the market until somebody gives me a compelling better plan.
Now you have an understanding of what I am talking about.a reversion to the mean of historic human living standards.

Our standard of living is definitely sustainable, unless we breed ourselves back into the stone age.
Population growth is more a symptom of secular materialism than a causation. Population exacerbates problems. The thinking that everyone can live a MC lifestyle is what puts pressure on the environment.

In 2007 I said the Democrats were going to fix the system so that they never lose power.

Today Ryan is questioning the elections in CA as being awful funny that the the Reps lost every contested race..effectivily turning the Republican stronghold of Orange county blue. It is a thing called "voter harvesting."

Your Republic and Constitution is dead. There is no more TRUST.

Your nation has turned Socialist....

You can't hide your heads in the sand anymore. You can't think things are just swell anymore.

Isn't that better than being picked up by "John"? Vegas....never been, no desire either....wouldn't have appropriate attire anywho...

Why do you live in the middle of the desert..."taste"? Buncha high rollin' CA fiscal liberals on this thread (Sammy & Craig :))...I'm just sayin' ;)

Perspective....think back ten years...

My brother-in-law and sister are Mormons. Mormons all have a couple years of food and water stored up for the apocalypse or whatever :rolleyes:. He was lecturing me about not having my "Stores" and not converting to LDS, and that I won't be prepared to survive until Jesus gets back. I asked him how many guns he had and how much ammo he had stored (I already knew the answer). He replied, "I can't have guns around with the grandkids always over. I said, "Well then, I guess you're storing it for me, thank you".
That there is funny.

Part of his decision was based on his feeling that there was nothing that he could do to change the trajectory. Perhaps he felt the US had reached the point of no return...
Or maybe he just decided that after the tax cut passed, he should get out of government and cash in on all the favors he is owed. That is where the real money is.

Nope...Socialists are people who like to call themselves Liberals, Progressives or even Democrats. Strip down what they advocate and it is unbridled Socialism.


Socialism =a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

As exmplefied by..."You didn't earn it yurself" "It take a village to raise a child."

Now don't you feel ashamed to be so and seen as being so ignorant?

As Speaker he is #3 in the government...

I think it is rather naive to think that having money is the be all and end all motivation for people. To be polite that is simplistic thinking born of your own personal narrative.
