MJ12 -- Your suggestions would certainly prevent a lot of disasters. The downside is that it would make the use of fossil fuel more palatable. For the survival of the species that fossil fuel should remain in the ground along with the uranium.
bnappi -- Are you saying that all nuclear power should be stopped immediately? The reason being that there is no way it can be "reasonably implemented" using the profit motive.
We need to always repeat the facts. Free markets always fail. From Pictarin Island to Prez Harding to rayguns deregulation to Gov Brownback.
Adam Smith did not believe in free markets. Only Milton Friedmann and his billionaire supporters obsess for free markets. As FDR said, they do want private enterprise they want privileged enterprise.
Reply to #5: Bobbler, I couldn’t agree with you more. I a sick and bloody tired of corporatist Democrats. They’ve done much of the damage we’re suffering the consequences from now, and they’ve laid out the red carpet for the likes of Baby Bush. The best thing we can do for ourselves and our country is purge Congress of both Repugblicans and Blue Dogs. Unless we do that, Bernie Sanders (if elected) won’t be able to get much done, and then we’ll have to hear the conservatives tagging Bernie Sanders “ineffective” as Commander And Chief. So please, everyone, let’s take the congressional elections as seriously as the presidential one!
Reply to #18: ANN, the socialism we’re talking about is not government monopoly; it’s The Commons, those things we depend upon just to survive and function, that give us a stable platform from which to build a life. Things like healthcare, education, utilities, the post office and law enforcement, that are supposed to keep civilization civilized. These things should never be privately owned or serve private interests. Your assertion about “free-market socialism” is patently absurd. Privatization is not only monopoly, it is the theft of the commons. We’ve seen what that gets us and we’ve had our fill of it, thank you.
it would be alot easier to bring Israel into the community of nations if you would cut BIBI loose ? the guy at the top is the problem and needs to be replaced by a British viceroy who could solve this difficult situation by force of arms if needed? A neutral third party needs to intervene to return this region to normalcy? a map needs to be made to establish a permanent border around this rogue nation? hiding behind your walls in fear of what or who?
Because of Bill Clinton's financial deregulation, especially the CMA Commodity Modernization Act, Goldman Sachs and all their evil sisters were able to buy and sell 1 billion barrels of oil a day even though the world only produced 90 million real barrels. The other 900 million barrels bought and sold in the futures market were known as "Paper barrels" because they only existed as transactions. This bubble replaced the mortgage derivatives bubble and drove the price of oil to $142.00, a barrel on futures contracts. The margins o,n these buy and sell the invisible oil was only 5%. The largest reason for the crash, which is not being discussed is the collapse of the Commodity Futures market. The 5% margins is allowed on commodities but not on securities, since the crash of 1929. Securities, stocks require 50% margins. Check out the futures bubble and get a commodity expert to help you do a show on this bubble, a Clinton bubble which has earned Bill Clinton the gift of $105,000,000 of personal wealth from speeches to those that robbed the entire world of trillions of dollars of buying and selling that which does not exist. Bob from Sherman Oaks.
He is great on economics, but on foreign policy, he's awful. At least with President Hillary, the wars she starts will be on purpose. He was a pretty good Senator and he'd make a great Secretary of Labor, but keep his finger off the button. Seriously!
I, too, found Blumenthal's ignorance disgusting. (I sincerely hope its just ignorance combined with brainwashing, since the guy sounded like someone well paid with terrorists’ oil money to promote their wet dream of destroying The Holy Land)
It's obvious the guy never spent time in the country he somehow claims to be "expert" in.
It's sad to see how successful anti-Semitic propaganda is in USA.
For anyone who bothers to check facts all this "refugees" issue is nothing but scam.
What happened in 1948 was, in fact, population exchange. Happens commonly whenever the country's minority is been abused. (Like Cyprus' division into Christian and Muslim parts, for instance) Palestine was divided into tiny sliver of Jewish state of Israel and the rest 99% of Palestine territory became Muslim state named Jordan.
Jewish population of Arab countries was forced out by violence. Those who survived, hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees left Arab countries leaving behind all their property. They were naturalized by the state of Israel and I never heard of Jewish refugee demanding return to their ancestor's land or even their property back.
Palestinian Arabs, on the other hand, were refused naturalization in Arab countries on purpose, to create perpetual "refugees' issue" to help destroy the state of Israel.
Moreover, as you mentioned, nobody ever forced out Arab population of Jewish part of Palestine. They were specifically asked to stay and live in peace. Some of them stayed.
But most of them followed Arab countries' leaders directions to leave Israel and wait until the new state is destroyed. They were misled, indeed, but not by Israeli government, so they have been barking up the wrong tree ever since.
As for those Palestinian Arabs who stayed, they became Israeli citizens like everybody else. (Like Palestinian Jews, Palestinian Christians and Palestinians of all other creeds now populating Israel.) They have exactly the same rights and freedoms. They have one duty less, though. They are not subject to mandatory army service. Though, I know that Bedouins, who are also Muslims and Israeli citizens, do serve in IDA and are the best border guards.
Then Egyptian officer of oversized ambition ( remember Arafat?) ,who failed to make himself career in his country, decided to create himself a state of his own and make himself a "top dog" . He emigrated to The Holy Land and came up with the "new" name for Palestinian Arabs, he named them "Palestinians” and demanded to divide this 1% of Palestine AGAIN into Muslim state and Jewish state. Which scam was supposed to act in accord with "Arab refugees” scam to weaken and eventually destroy the young state of Israel.
It's unbelievable how Christian world seems to eat this "two-states solution" nonsense up.
The problem with antisemitism is that this unfortunate condition impairs human judgement to the extent of acting irrationally, against their own interests if there's a slightest chance of causing damage to the demonized nation. It happens over and over again and still history teaches humanity nothing, we still cannot resist assisting our sworn enemies who openly proclaim our destruction as their primary objective - just because we hope those cannibals will destroy our allies first. Just think about how such despicable policy is going to damage US reputation as a trustworthy ally among world community. Granted, they might claim support to our irrational actions in hopes to appease the monstrous aggressive regime. After all, they are not on the extremists' "hit list" just yet, its USA that is. And they will hope that the aggressor will be satisfied as soon as it reaches its objective of destroying "Big Satan" (just like our "negotiators" are apparently hoping the aggression will stop after the "Small Satan" has been sacrificed). But the truth is - aggressors NEVER stop unless STOPPED. Humanity have been there not once in history.
The issue, is whether the Voters really support either candidate, with a democratic congress, or screw up and leave a republican congress, like the last 8years.

tom kauser -- Who are you suggesting should write a book? Of course, even the book would need a 3rd party reviewer.
Israel's Prime Minister Yahoo is a dangerous fascist. I am terrified at the prospect of those idiots in Congress following his lead into WWIII.

why not write a book and maybe you could fleece the public for money instead of boring us with bile.

Sorry, double post
Sorry, double post
Trump Infects His Fellow Inmates
. . . .
Trump has transmitted
his slobbering rabies
as against Latinos he has insanely pitted
his distorted claim against “anchor babies”.
In the Rightwing asylum
for the politically insane,
the loudest can defile ‘em
with such soundbites inane.
This sub-human phylum
has an insufficient brain.
Should we exile ‘em? -
- or just whack ‘em with our cane?
===========================
Rightwing Polemics
{a limerick}
Lying is a primary gimmick
of Rightists’ spurious polemic.
Their lying is endemic,
pandemic, systemic.
Dangerously {pathogenic} path-o-gemic.
============================
Oops. I had entered a rhyme twice.
Anti-hallucination Chemical
{1.5 limericks}
Rightwingers’ minds are the pinnacle
of problems which psychiatrists clinical
should quickly address, -
- the fallacies to redress
with an anti-hallucination chemical.
They should prescribe some potions
to alter the Right’s notions
so that danger to America is minimal.
=============================
Trump’s Stadium Show
{1.5 limericks}
Here’s yet anOther stanza
of Trump’s extravaganza:
In a stadium stands a
Trump who demands a
crowd who thinks him Commander-
-in-Chief for relief
from all of their grief; -
- ‘bout Everything a smart understander.
================
The issue, is whether the Voters really support either candidate, with a democratic congress, or screw up and leave a republican congress, like the last 8years.
Children will behave like this!
