LOL. Ignorance is bliss. Truer words were never spoken. Yes, the "where in the world is mindmeld" game is another one of the fantastic sleight of hand/misdirection games these folks like to play. It distracts people from the harsh messages I'm giving. If they can classify me, assassinate my character, focus people on where I live, or otherwise distract them from the truth in my messages, then they believe they have "won" the point. Or they delude themselves into believing that I'm just some crazy person to be ignored. Truth hurts sometimes. No one wants to believe that deficit spending and money printing come with one hell of a destructive hangover. Everyone wants to believe that all will come up roses. So when I pour cold water on all that jazz, then I become a target. It's the way Americans are today. Head in the sand is where we all want to be. Here’s The Thing: Joseph Stiglitz By Barry Ritholtz - October 27th, 2012, 4:00PM This week on Here’s the Thing, Alec talks about the financial crisis with Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist. Stiglitz shows no restraint when unleashing criticism of presidential policies — on both sides. Of President Barack Obama’s financial-industry rescue plan, Stiglitz said that whomever designed it was “either in the pocket of the banks or … incompetent.” Stiglitz talks to Alec about growing up in Gary, Indiana and how that impacted his decision to become an economist.
