Jacob,

RE: I have the moral high ground, here. IMO.


Dropping nuclear bombs, even "only" one, is somehow the moral high ground? What type of twisted, convoluted logic do you use where you could even remotely believe such a thing? The very notion is absurd on the surface and becomes even more ridiculous as it is studied more closely.

Somewhat related:

This will be my last post on the AMAT thread. The thread no longer serves my purpose to learn and post relevant AMAT and semiconductor information. Additionally, the dynamic discussions of the past have given way to a type of group-think now, something wholly unappealing to me.

Everyone here please remember one thing. Just as in investing, where you need to question the motives of the masses(herd), the same critical thinking and criticism needs to be done in the political sphere. Just as it was unpopular to go against tech in '99 and early '00, so is it now unpopular, even considered unpatriotic in some circles, to go against the war in Afghanistan. We need radicals; people willing to question the status quo even at the risk of appearing offensive, unpatriotic, etc, etc. Just something to remember.

It's been fun.

Regards to all,

Brian
