I don't really care about the actual issue, but the objections raised to Columbus Day are absurd to me. Why is euro-centrism bad? I am not of European descent, but historically speaking, contributions made by Europeans are undeniably tremen

It is worth reminding that adoption of the gold standard is mere possibility of the central point libertarians are trying to make. The real issue is force. Libertarians do not believe that it is okay for the government to exercise sole mono

The point that you made was mere opinion you hold. You did nothing to substantiate why either positions are absurd. Instead of telling libertarians "Why inflation is not theft ", you ended up echoing the libertarian sentiment that inflation

I actually agree with you on that point. If having a freer immigration policy leads to populating a country with people who aren't for free market, is the freer immigration policy actually a free market policy? It's a difficult question for

I am not making judgment on whether or not if freer immigration is good for economy or not. I am not making any qualitative judgment on the issue. And you may be right that it may create severe market distortions. I don't know and that's no

Grey Times New Roman at 12px on pastel background makes it an effort to read. It looks good visually, but actual reading is difficult. I would change the font size to 14px and make the font darker.

So Swartz is unhappy that science has to take one step backwards for every 99 steps taken forward to the progress? And I wonder what alternatives Swartz would like to provide instead of science? Just so he is aware, we sort of tried astrolo

I think Andrew's take on Microsoft delivers the right kind of futurism for consumers. It is sleek and simple. Straight lines, and angular corners seems to convey speediness, responsiveness, practicality and productivity. I think I can relat
