I'd hoped I'd get a pin out of this yesterday and some lively discussion, but like usual someone else reposts my stuff and they get pinned. Quoting: LilyI'm reading this thread, OP. :) We just had on Disney Channel this morning and there was an "end of life on earth from space" episode of one of their shows. I think when they are feeding it down to the kids with doom - something is up. "In a mad world, only the mad are sane." ~ Akira Kurosawa |

I remember in college learning that the military indoctrinated kids into military mindsets by fostering war toys as various times. So, when they grew up they'd make good soldiers. I suppose video games are effective today for that purpose too. |

Quoting: Revbo™This is a Nobel Prize winner, folks. Broken window fallacy argument? Tell me more...no comprendo! [link to en.wikipedia.org] Incidentally, Bastiat's The Law should be on every person's reading list. It's not the most exciting book, and a lot of the examples are derived from the French Revolution, since that was Bastiat's contemporary examples, but it is beautifully written and constructed and lays out economics and the rule of law so clearly that I guarantee it will change the way you see the world. I would love to see a Ron Paul/Krugman debate. Honestly, I would pay $50 on PPV to watch Paul destroy him. if everyone broke all the windows in their house the economy would grow and create prosperity due to the expansion of having to fix the windows. Ah, I get it! Reminds me of the argument that unemployment checks create jobs... |
