Participant[quote=Zeitgeist]I see little difference between the socialists and the fascists, just the uniforms. The policies are pretty much the same, big government trumps the individual. The state replaces the family. Either way you get a nanny state.[/quote]
I don’t think there is much difference between all the “isms”. Unfortunately people can’t step out of there thoroughly propagandized-emotional-buzz word-linear-thinking minds.
Profit ruins capitalism and the state ruins socialism. Otherwise they are both fine. The way of the future is somewhere in between. Me, I’m a free market, no government, communist kinda guy.
Personally I think we are all lab rats in a cheese shortage and new behavior modification stimuli will be introduced in lieu of cheese.
Life is paradoxical time to start thinking that way…

Participant[quote=paramount]”Family business on my side, relative in upper echelons of the industry” to that I say: BFD!
I do know this: if green energy were economically viable on a large scale (or really any scale), that’s what would be powering my house and car instead of gas and oil.
Alternative energy will not make a serious dent in our oil, coal or gas consumption in my lifetime or anyone else’s on this board.
Most electricity in this country is still generated by coal – and we have plenty left right here in the USA.
FYI: I am not a republican, just someone with “common sense.”

Albert EinsteinI do know this if This country billed the Oil Companies
for the cost of all those carrier groups in the middle east,
we’d be paying 5 dollars a gallon for gas.Also while we have a lot of coal, what is the cost to our
society if we strip mine all of west virginia flat to get it.March 2, 2009 at 10:24 PM #359300Participant[quote=paramount]”Family business on my side, relative in upper echelons of the industry” to that I say: BFD!
