I just (as a greedy capitalist, :mrgreen:) , feel that if there is substantial profit to be earned I SHOULD EARN IT.This is why I never like to make quick decisions, I tend to get overwrought at the prospect of good profits and sometimes short myself.Anyway my friend the local agent is going by today and going to get me some comps.

Originally posted by NC Mark: One might wonder if democracy may not be the best form of government suited to capitalism.It's most definitely not...This nation was founded as a republic (which is in some ways subtly and in some ways drastically, different than a democracy), and which is better suited to support a capitalistic economy.

But many are simply not prepared for the ways in which the economy has changed.Everything is changing rapidly and people of all ages have to change with it - that is the "harshness" of a capitalist system that so many detest yet it is at the core of why it succeeds.In the end I believe in the capitalist / market system (even though we are not in a pure capitalistic / market system), I believe in the people, and I believe there are more boom and busts to come.People need to take some time, shake of their depression as much as possible, and try one more time to make something happen.

EVIL, RICH, CAPITALISTIC LANDLORDS!

As a Sociology major, however, the reasoning is actually quite sound:In a capitalistic society, the most rational players are those that receive a benefit with no cost expenditures.

This means that conservatives have to avoid being pulled into a scientific debate that is truly more of a political and religious debate.Proponents of global warming are a diverse bunch to be sure, and not all think the same way- but at the core of the "movement" are basically people who seek the destruction of the western capitalist economic model.This is not in dispute, by the way- it's just fact.The reason I hope we can agree that there's more to global warming than science, and the reason it is so critical to promoters of the theory that it be "man-made" even if they have to use the "nature trick" or "hide the decline" is that it's not their scientific careers that hang in the balance, but an entire world-wide political agenda.To all- if you can make sense of this single issue to your lib friends- you will shatter the foundations of their belief system, and you will begin to unwind their cloudy thinking.The key to converting liberals is to help them understand that they are the useful idiots for a handful of political elites who ultimately seek their destruction.

I can only hope there are more to come.But no one should allow this to stop them from doing what is legal to persue happiness and your freedoms of our capitalistic society.

:wink: Although, they say that if you remember the sixties, you weren't there...Lots of those "Hippies" grew up to be very successful capitalists...By the way, any good properties in Teheran this day.

I'm a strong capitalist, not a socialist.

I'd be in favor of letting the socialists have the west coast and northeast and the capitalists could have the rest.Mike
