Destabilization is just opportunity for those with intellectual, financial and charismatic abilities among us, nothing more.

Which is why the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Which team will you on, opportunists or victims? You have a choice.

I disagree.

The tipping point was when the Hamiltonian huge diversified capitalism vision for the U.S. won out over Jefferson's small agrarian vision for out country. Everything our country is today from synthetic CDOs to everything made overseas to the ultimate decline of America's moral character can be traced back to Hamilton's vision winning over Jefferson's.

Another "only a bump in the road"....mindset..

Well the French Revolution was an opportunity for Robespierre to exploit..ohh wait didn't he get his head lopped off too?

Napoleon the Corsican opportunist did see his opportunity and asserted himself..but he was anything but Republican minded as shown in 1805 when he crowned himself Emperor..In fact he was a Right Wing French Nationalist who embarked upon a program of conquering Europe in the guise of fending off Frances enemies who were anti democracy monarchies.

I don’t always agree with you but I’ll be honest, I find some of your writings to be well expressed in writing only to be tainted by your lazy disregard for correct spelling and punctuation.

Ted, you disappoint me. You have a small Jeffersonian vision.

I am disabled..I am a victim of the CA public school system..

What I write is a stream of consciousness. It is a raw feed. I rarely edit. Maybe changing a word or two for clarification. Besides that I am writing on a Porsche Blog...and not an academic paper.

I can say the same about you, and often do..

Which are just more data points on why you are wrong all of the time, e.g., USD losing world currency status among 10-15 other predictions that never have and never will come to happen. Your vision is too small. Broaden your vision and you may have something.

How very interesting that I predicted, sitting here silently in the back yard with the mosquitos, that you would say exactly that

I’ve been reading your mini manifestos for 13 years now and every time I do, I can’t help being distracted by my own thoughts....”oh geez, too bad about that misspelled word..is that even a word?”......see what I mean?

Porsche blog or not, you will likely be remembered more for your spelling errors than your message (by me at least)

I’ll stop lecturing you because I know that you know that I am correct....and partially because I’m indulging in revenge for ruining my Rolling Stones thread

And please, for your own sake don’t be a victim!

Well it could be the result of the time Mother smacked me on the side of my head when i was a kid that I saw stars for days and heard the voice of God? But that all went away with time. Or maybe it's just the result of being a genius.

Has America ever actually had moral character? Back when those two were around, America had less than zero of it (aka - slavery was legal . . . not to mention we were busy with the wholesale massacre of the indigenous people, because we could).
