    Cambrian Explosion

    At least have the common decency of checking whether or not someone is actually online before accusing them of dodging your questions. As for my original reply, your response seemed to indicate that you did not understand that all of the orginisms you listed are mebers of phyla that have their...

    I'm still wondering why they listed whales after they already listed mammals.

    The Road to Serfdom - in Cartoons

    You are correct in that you must have and economic and political philosophy, but the the combination of certain economic and political philosophies do not preclude alternate combinations. This then means that you need to look at individual combinations instead of picking out one philosophy and...

    Seems like we need better education.

    I read enough of it in the store to know that it is yet another of his diatribes against academia. He has yet to prove that there is an overall bias in academia, and this book will do nothing to prove his fantasy to all but the most deluded. No one would try to claim that individual professors...

    Seems like we need better education.

    They don't have any evidence of this, and are relying on rhetortic for their arguement. My personal experience was that most professors were fairly moderate and a equivalent number leaned left and right. The only professor that I knew of that was "communist" (not really, he was hardline...

    Seems like we need better education.

    You're right that link has been disproven (Last summer if IIRC), but there still is a correlation between level of education and political ideaology. The higher a persons education level the more likely that person will be liberal. None of the statistics that I have seen have come to any...

    The Road to Serfdom - in Cartoons

It does not have anything to do with most of what is shown in that cartoon, what is shown in that cartoon is more akin...

    The Road to Serfdom - in Cartoons

    Yes I do, but I was responding to Jetgirls attack on socialism. She was attacking it based upon the cartoon. Which you are right in that it is not communism, it is a totalitarian government of which communism is one form. She confuses totalitarian governments with socialism because of a...

    What should the highest tax rate be?

    Better yet if you don't want to pay your fair share of the costs needed to run this country, leave. Just pack your bags and leave, no one will miss you.

    If that is your view of socialism, then no wonder you are so afraid of it. Just remember that communism was a perversion of socialism not a working model.

    The Road to Serfdom - in Cartoons

    No they support the use of propaganda, demonization of minority groups, curtailment of civil liberties, etc. BTW liberals get just as ****ed off about free speech zones as conservatives, ever here the complaints coming from liberal protestors that have been put in a chain link cage miles from a...
