You like Government Motors. I like Toyota. Each to their own, but you want me to pay for your Lada and want me to have to use one too.
I thought that this was dumb the first time that I read it, but after reading energyplay’s post, I though that I should take a second look to see its deeper insight.
I must now state that this has provided me with an epiphany of your thought processes.
As a libertarian you want less government because they do bad things. Al Greenspan is good because he wanted to get government off the back of banks, and help the economy via banks by lowering interest rates. If philv criticizes Greenspan, he must be part of “stupid mobs” and therefore, he should “go to hell.”
Now, if I state that governments have an important role to play in car safety or other regulatory issues, then I must be a communist and want a Lada forced on me, even if I might have wanted a Toyota. And because I want a Lada, you must want a Lada too. Is this your logical thread?
Also, if I think that banks lowered their underwriting standards and wrote reckless loans to people who couldn’t pay them back, that must mean that I would propose “no borrowing and no lending” as a proper solution.
From your post
What are some regulations you'd like to keep financial relativity theory on the straight and narrow?
[Editing] I guess: No borrowing; No lending; All gold and silver, no funny money; Government permit to go shopping; Permitted products only to be sold; Personal finances to be held in a government vault.
Do you feel these were the logical consequences of my comments? If so, I can now put your earlier posts in the proper context, and in so doing, I can have a more consistent context for your future posts.
Just to be sure about my thinking, if the dominance of the US currency is under threat, you should personally develop your own currency Qi to provide an adequate substitute in the coming years?
I think I now see the level of reasoning that you employ in your posts. This has cleared up lot of confusion on my part about you erudition and sagacity. |
