   I absolutely agree with you. I knew a very smart guy who went out to start his own company and you could see the failure coming a mile away. He thought because he was smarter than most at some things, he was smarter than everyone at everyth

   Well considering I'm a libertarian, that is quite false. But I am an industrial engineer, so I know a thing or two about factories.

   Then you are out of touch with the realities of what is going to happen if we pass this bill. We already pay more for labor, energy, environmental regulations compliance, and corporate tax in the USA than pretty much anywhere else. When you

   It is extremely easy to see how politics got injected into the debate. There was a move from "these are our findings" to "lets try and stop global warming". The second step requires government action. Hence, politics. If the climate change

   If global warming is "wrong" we needlessly reduce our economy and people today feel real hardships from lower wages, lost jobs, and higher prices. If global warming is "right" we might have a problem 100 years from now with rising sea level

   Where are the skeptics trying to get the government to pass a bill stopping climate change research? Skeptics have no goals politically other than to STOP the legislation put forward by people politicizing climate change research.

   You don't think moderation of a neutral site by one side of a debate might be giving the appearance that "the debate is over"? Maybe the debate isn't over and its just about who has control of the appearance of the debate.

    Thats simply not true. I know a guy who was the president of a division with >80m in revenue a year, and was "laid off" with 5,000 other people after 28 years with the company and never a negative performance review. His boss went to ba

    You deserve the criticism. You didn't "unintentionally" introduce the word many times into your essay. You thought it would be a good idea and banged the reader over the head with it. "Remind yourself always that your shit is relative. Find

    Exactly. "Shit" doesn't offend me as word. Trying to find the authors point through the mindless repetition of any word is a chore. If "Shit" was replaced with "Stuff" it would still be a horrendous post. Example: "That doesn’t mean the [st

    In equal numbers the military prevails. I'm not worried about the police force. They have shotguns and pistols just like everybody else, and in most cases the enthusiasts have just as much skill as the police. And the military is tiny, less

    I don't think you've been acquainted with the business end of a large rifle. Shoot whatever ray you want at a large crowd of people, if it comes to treason I'll be with my brother and cousin at night in the woods with some high power rifles

    Have you seen what proportion of Americans own firearms? If we are talking about treason - which hanging politicians from a lamp post would be - it won't be crowd control with tear gas and riot shields. It will be some police/military with

    C-level executive does mean something to people executives at large corporations, but calling yourself a CEO on your webpage/business card won't actually make you a CEO for anyone who understands that. If your resume doesn't say P&L res

    That works in valueable markets that are cheap to build up infrastructure - almost everyone in the suburbs of large cities have a choice of DSL vs Cable at least. But it doesn't work in cities where there simply is not the room to let peopl

    This is great advice if you have a profitable company. But if your company is not yet profitable and there is a risk it could be boom or bust, and someone is offering you guaranteed money buying it out, sometimes you have to make the sale.

    "Easily", how? "Fraction" - 9/10ths, 7/8ths. I really don't know what you would cut out of schools to make it better. Teachers are under paid, most school districts are short on their infrastructure budget, and "extraneous" classes like mus

    Yes, but in the past it wasn't like only great students went to college. My Dad's sole motivation for college was escaping the Vietnam draft. There were many like him. In fact the college he attended went out of business because it was so b

    It would be hard for me to believe that my parents generation was better educated than mine. For one, when they graduated in the early 60s there was a massive gender gap in college attendance - my mom was valedictorian and went to secretari

    But the Puritans were a minority in early America. The economic heart of early America is the Cheseapeake and south, and there was not much public education there. It wasn't until the 1830s that it became common for some primary schooling i

    Sounds like you went to a bad public school. Except for personal finance my high school hit those well. I've always thought if we can have drivers ed and health in school we should have a personal finance class though.

    Lines of regulation is not a good measure. A lot of banking regulation is related to well, banking. Glass-Steagall is specifically related to investment banking which is a whole other ball game, and to call the repeal of that act insignific
