  1. Yep, tells me all I need to know.
  2. Please elaborate. You have chickens and dairy cows in your Hamilton county compound then?
  3. The High Price of a "Free Lunch": https://mises.org/wire/high-price-free-lunch Many in the lower rungs of the economic ladder blame their declining real incomes, and other inequities, on capitalism. They should, instead, be blaming the central bank. When the government borrows, it increases the demand for loanable funds, and with a fixed supply, interest rates should normally rise. If at the same time the central bank is increasing the supply of loanable funds by printing money to buy government bonds, then interest rates will decline if the increase in supply is greater than the increase in demand. Here, we are basically monetizing the debt. Worldwide, this printing has currently driven interest rates to zero or into negative territory. Using the economy as an excuse, central banks have been monetizing government debt, alleviating any pressure on governments to control their spending. Continuing from Keynes, Many economists are currently predicting we will experience another devastating recession in the US. Will we repeat the errors of the past by trying to fix a credit crisis with more debt? Or will we find a permanent solution by ending central banking, fractional reserve banking, and the government’s ability to borrow and print money? If we do, any future government spending would require an immediate and clear sacrifice on the part of the citizenry: unlike what politicians would have you believe; there is no free lunch.
  4. How much data do you need? FMS was a failing school under ISTEP as well.
  5. So you do takes trips to the store then. Unless you or individuals living with you don't consume milk or eggs.
  6. But I don't recall a monarch-less parliamentary system being one that you personally advocate. Is it?
  7. More like a poor-to-mediocre offense in the Bears. IIRC correctly the announcers said that Trubinsky only played a handful of downs during the pre-season games. I'm sorry, but unless your QB pedigree is similar to the likes of Brady, Brees, and Rodgers you need as many snaps in a game-like situation as you can get, especially for a 3rd year player like Trubinsky.
  8. How many documented cases after just a 30-second google search is enough for you Gonzo?
  9. Previous discussions about governmental systems and your preferred system.

  12. As the commentary states: Snowflakes out in the real world. Do any of us wish the GID OOB forum to become an echo-chamber?
  13. Exactly what kind of reprisal are you talking about Dante? A "your views are stupid" or "your views are wrong, and here is why"? Or maybe in the case of colleges & universities it is "I don't like your political views, you get an D in this class."
  14. So every country needs a "Crown". Got it.
  15. Probably my favorite series of SNL skits.
  16. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/05/europe/uk-parliament-disintegrating-gbr-intl/index.html The world has watched as the very foundations of British politics shifted in front of their eyes. On Tuesday, 1.5 million people tuned into BBC Parliament to see an alliance of rebel lawmakers deal the UK government a humiliating blow, seizing control of the Brexit agenda and forcing embattled Prime Minister Boris Johnson to call for a snap general election. ... The Brexit process has drawn attention to the detail of Britain's constitution, procedures, rules, and how strong they are -- or not. And a breakdown of longstanding conventions has raised fears over a full-blown constitutional crisis in the country. Johnson's plan to suspend Parliament in particular has been branded a "constitutional outrage" for limiting the time that MPs have to debate Brexit. Britain's constitution is unwritten, meaning it is sustained largely through precedent, which has left some commentators wondering whether it is still fit for purpose. "There is a fundamental question this [Brexit] is posing to the UK, about whether its uncodified constitution was doing the job they thought it was," said Catherine Haddon, a senior fellow at the Institute for Government, a London-based independent think tank. "Others argue it is not the constitution that's struggling, but politics that are failing." "It is calling into question constitutional conventions that felt to experts to be strong and intrinsic to our system of government, but you now see political actors starting to talk about whether or not they would adhere to them or how binding they are," Haddon added. All of this together casts doubt over one of the key messages of the campaign to leave the European Union: that by ending the UK's membership within the bloc, it would "bring back sovereignty" to British Parliament. In reality, the government is often in conflict with Parliament, the opposition and even their own back benches. And that tension has ratcheted up as the clock ticks down to October 31, the current deadline for the UK to quit the EU. If the seizure of Parliament Wednesday by a cross-party alliance or rebel lawmakers is any indication, a majority of members in the House feel that Johnson's government doesn't show enough respect for the institution. .... And this is the governmental system that some, including the GID's own Dante Estonia, view as superior to the American system?
  17. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/poll-73-percent-of-republican-students-have-hidden-their-politics-over-fears-about-grades/ Agreed. Blind liberalism has taken over a great many college and university campuses. And our educational system is poorer for it.
  18. We have a small league with just family & close friends, had our draft last night. There are only 6-8 of us so the teams can get stacked. Here is my team, just for fun: QB - P. Mahomes - Chiefs QB - D. Brees - Saints QB - D. Prescott - Cowboys RB- D. Montgomery - Bears RB- L. Fournette - Jaguars RB- C. Carson - Seahawks RB - D. Williams - Chiefs RB - R.

Gould - 49'ers K- S. Gostkowski - Patriots D/ST - Rams D/ST - Bills
  19. Betting on sports is not my thing, but what is the state and local government cut on such activity? It can't be insignificant.
  20. Ok. Boot 'em out of the government school system when they are what, 12-13 years old? And tell them to come back to "Adult Ed" when they are ready?
  21. Why? And under what specific conditions does "not always" apply?
  22. A lot of individuals in Frankfort purchase their ammo from Rural King, right across S.R. 28 from Wal-Mart. https://www.wbko.com/content/news/Rural-King-issues-statement-reaffirming-legal-firearm-sales-559380331.html
  23. For the low IQ/ability who show an interest in bettering themselves, yes. However do you believe such students should always be housed in the same classrooms as academically gifted/high ability students? As for the ones who don't give a damn, frankly I say after a certain point stop wasting teacher's time and taxpayers dollars. You have effectively become nothing more than an expensive babysitter.
  24. I heard this sign was spotted near tiny Argos, along U.S. 31.
