Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=walterwhite]Ok then. Will you listen to the case for eating some fermented foods like sauerkraut?
Why is listening to your mom bad? What about your dad? I don’t remember my dad ever urging me to eat anything. He told me I was stupid for not eating certain things. But nothing in particular I should eat.[/quote]
Scaredy: Love sauerkraut. Especially Kruegermann’s Berlin style (I cannot stand that Bavarian-style shit). Rotkraut is also good.
Sauerkraut, a Usinger’s Brat, some good German mustard and Swiss cheese on a roll… ausgezeichnet! Throw in a nice Dinkelacker and happy days.[/quote]
Have you been to the Linkery in North Park?
You might like it.
This may sound like blasphemy but I like sausage with kimchi. Now that is a fermented food.Also, the fartiest meal on the planet.
With the possible exception of Baja Betty’s deep fried jalepenos.
ParticipantAlso, the irony is that a book about commercial and industrial managers refusing to be exploited could be seen as just a labor movement for senior management.
This contributes to economic thought in the same way that Heinlein’s Starship Troopers contributes to political policy or Larry Niven contributes to home defense (with noble engineers fighting off cannibals with flame throwers) or how George Lucas has helped us all understand comedy better.

ParticipantHow about football coaches in fallbrook turning our youth into fascist linebackers.
Just a fun fact:
“V” (the original miniseries) was based (loosely) upon “It Can’t Happen Here”.
Also, while I think Atlas Shrugged is about as intelligent as birthers and the gold standard, it ain’t Hitler.
Its just the dumbed-down understanding of capitalism shared by people from communist countries (eg: the author) and people who have done little actual study of economics (reading the drudge report and seeking alpha does not qualify).
Anecdotally, I have found that most people I know who love it are not true economics nerds but are usually engineers or code monkeys who read websites about the Austrian school. Also, weirdly, Realtors.
Economics is a science of observable behavior as governed by situational exigencies (like your real income) and cultural realities (like why you don’t need a bike lock in Japan and why socialism has a stigma in the USA).
When read as a natural science (akin to physics or math), it is easy to ascribe meaning to behavior in a way that does not necessarily map.
For example, if the skilled managers of most big banks and large companies in the US (lets say every senior manager and executive and board member of the Fortune 1000) were to take a holiday (or be dropped into Mono Lake for that matter) the result would be as follows:
NOBODY WOULD NOTICE OR CARE
One of the observations laid out by Smith was that the invisible hand works because the actors in commercial and industrial enterprise are interchangeable. This is as true of capitalists as it is of the proletariat.I find Rand’s assertions as culturally illustrative and groundbreaking as this book I just read about Zombies and the Mormon church.
I think that the 99 cent charge to my kindle account was a tad high.
Both Atlas Shrugged and Year of the Dead (http://www.amazon.com/Year-Dead-Sustainable-Earth-ebook/dp/B004A1596A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302791689&sr=8-1) should really be on the 75 cent section.ParticipantHow about football coaches in fallbrook turning our youth into fascist linebackers.

Be careful with gandalf, he(?) pretends to be like everyone else until one of his core issues is discussed. He has tried to establish his character here by letting us know that he is Tall, rides a motorcycle, owns a business, is Columbia educated and is independent.
His only goal is to push Obama’s agenda of higher taxes, government control (left of center or way left of center only), strange foreign policy, elitism and whatever this mysterious president has on his list. I would guess that he walked away from a party meeting sometime in 2005 with a list of blogs that he needed to infiltrate. Since then we have been graced with his “Social Marketing” techniques from some unpublished manual.[/quote]I dunno.
I come from a family of Realtors and entrepreneurs.
We are all pretty left of center.
Most members of my (exceptionally large, Catholic) family are self-employed.
While I cannot speak for all of my family’s views, I know my grandmother launched into a lecture on gay rights after too much wine at my wedding.
We don’t subscribe to some manual or some checklist of “progressive” ideas.
I would attribute this to their/my strong Catholic* upbringing which had a lot to say about hard work, charity, and giving more when you have it.
(And lets be honest, the Catholic denial of gay rights is really just about self-hatred.)
The fact that you attribute people who have different opinions than you to brainwashing or checking the box from some manual really says more about your views.
And in case you are wondering if I am real, many Piggs have met me and several have closed escrow with me as an agent.
You can meet me too if you’re not afraid of the scary homos in my neighborhood.*this is probably why most of my extended family are pure suckers for Stephen Colbert (a serious liberal and a devout Catholic Sunday school teacher)
