I am a train, etc photographer, poet, artist, Science teacher from Centraa (Chicago), and I feel like we are kindred spirits, sharing the same philosophy and opinions and we both grew up on the Freeport Sub of the IC railroad...me in Cicero! Thanks again! At least I know a few people out there have sense! http://eyepilot13.deviantart.com/Eyepilot13https://www.blogger.com/profile/06070666182233850228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-61523051971288990632012-03-18T13:03:32.131-04:002012-03-18T13:03:32.131-04:00Our system’s not yet reached the goal

I think those people can bend reality to some extent..they force it to fit their nonsense because they have powerful positions in society, not because any of their theories have sound cause and effect cleanliness.<br /><br />It's always bizarre to consider how much is truly believed by those types and how much is just parroted because of the indirect gain you get from being in the artificial reality world.Jim Laheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440909311757922295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-48290170499409568142012-03-18T11:34:05.042-04:002012-03-18T11:34:05.042-04:00Economics, despite what its proponents like to cla...Economics, despite what its proponents like to claim, is not science, not in any way. It has no actual proven laws governing its functions like physics or biology, just speculation, that's really all the entire profession is, speculation, as well as the general push of a specific viewpoint or ideology concerning its function. Economics is more like religion than science. The market is their god. Really, when you read an article or watch a video about economics, whenever they say "market or markets" replace it with the word god and you'll see it pretty quick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
