Stratfor is not much more than a small news organization. Why would a news company have secret intelligence from the "world's most powerful men"? They are in the business of publishing everything they know -- that's how they get paid! Their

Wtf? Rhodes was known as "The Empire Builder" Who is teaching you this bullshit history? Demonizing historical figures instead of studying them in the context of their time is really pathetic.

In the bible this is referred to as the sound of the river Jordan - its considered a spiritual experience. I used to get it in deep meditation. Blew my mind.

Lawyers go to great lengths to maintain honor in the courtroom. They learn in law school. It's just become so embedded in the practice that now its inconsequential.

This revisionist view of Rhodes is overly negative. He was an empire builder but his prime motivation was to modernize the world. Rhodesian policy led to the end of the empire, in fact. This is just overly simplistic character assassination

It's overly simplistic to say people always worship the powerful. Caesar was assassinated by the entire senate. Democracy in America was created on the basis of the rejection of power-worship. You seem to have your pet way of interpreting h

Jefferson is a poor source to you? Those quotes demonstrate the cache that the concept of honor had.

It's not murder it's a duel. Big difference. Both duellists put their lives on the line. How many people in America right now would be willing to have a duel with Cheney? Hundreds if not thousands. That says something meaningful about his r

It's more accountability than what Dick Cheney faced. The point is that even under primitive social codes like the honour system, public officials faced more accountability than they do now. There is no accountability left whatsoever in ANY

Limited liability was initially intended to protect minority shareholders from being responsible for the misconduct of the general partners. Now it has been extended to general partners as well which is just stupid.

The reason I support punishing the guilty instead of letting them get away with it is because I'm a realist. It's pacisfists who are the optimists. Pacifists who say we should just let Cheney and Blankfein off the hook. I say we should tar

1. You aren't refuting the existence of honor or the fact that virtues of truthfulness and fairness had to be displayed in order to retain respect in the past. You are just saying sociopaths still existed and still lied. The difference is t

It's your type of cynicism that is actually an apologetic for the dishonorable behavior. If you stopped saying "everyone does it" then we could start punishing the dishonorable. It's NOT TRUE that everyone is a liar. Rockefeller and Carnegi

Seems like premature publicity. Great idea that is far from being useful right now. If you actually want customers you need to prove you can provide value. My first try was "iPhone 4" and it showed me the average price for all iPhones, from
