[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [qb]But I'm taking your advice and not wasting time talking politics to someone who believes the political absurdities you believe.[/qb][/QUOTE]Again, political absurdities that won World War II, sent a generation of GI's to college, and men to the moon. [QUOTE][qb]Centrally planned economies and societies are the natural enemy of freedom and individual liberty. Though, on paper, they have the potential to be more efficient than capitalism, the truth on the ground is that they never are.[/qb][/QUOTE]Tyranny is the natural enemy of freedom. That tyranny can come from unchecked corporate interests as much as it can from unchecked government ones. [QUOTE][qb]It takes a combination of ignorance of the history of death and misery in centrally planned economies and a good bit of arrogance about one's preferred political leaders to believe that our central planning could succeed when all others failed, and this time without any citizens shoeless or starving to death as usually occurs under centrally planned economies.[/qb][/QUOTE]This presumes that I'm proposing the same as what has come before, which I'm not. This also presumes that we don't have citizens shoeless or starving to death right now, which is incorrect. [QUOTE][qb]So while you go vote for hopey-changey stuff and doom everyone to failure while "actually solving the massive problems facing us" (because your philosophy does that oh so well, which is why all the problems you guys campaigned on in the 60's are still here), I hope that reason will again rise in the Republic and we'll at least slow this 'progressive' train enough to avoid the real crash. [/qb][/QUOTE]You should thank me for working so hard to elect Obama president, since the market seems to like his hopey-changey stuff quite a bit. [/QB][/QUOTE]
