  1. The IP address can be from a VPN which proves nothing. If you are in Indonesia, what does that prove? That you know the entire story?
  2. If that is true then you are not stating it well. Further, you are stating the obvious.
  3. Big banks have been hoarding commodities such as food, oil, metal and so forth. These banks are able to borrow from the Fed at 3/4 of 1% any amount desired and make obscene profits from trading commodities. Third world countries have been devastated by rising food costs in the name of profit from the Wall Street pigs feeding at the trough. Here in the U.S. oil prices have had devastating effects across the entire economy.
  4. Art As A Spiritual Quest.

    My art professors in college made us draw from Cezanne, Matisse and other impressionists. While we were drawing, he incessantly quoted from 'Zen and The Art of Archery'.
  5. Fed to review ruling that allows big banks to trade commodities. Whether anything comes of this, who knows! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/wall-street-commodities_n_3625750.html
  6. Narveen, You seem to be advocating the worst of capitalism, which is nothing but greed driven by social darwinism.
  7. You make no sense whatsoever.
  8. I think it would be worse than I stated. Yes, it does seem as though regulation does not exist.
  9. Honestly, your rant deserves very little attention. Without a regulatory environment the following occurs. 1. Rampant pollution; water, air, soil etc. 2. No food inspections; e coli, botulism, general food poisoning. 3. Pharmaceutical drugs that are not properly tested and approved. 4. No FAA inspections for commercial aircraft. 5. No inspection for construction projects; electrical, plumbing and structural. 6. Toys that are unsafe for children. I don't have time to educate one such as yourself who refuses to understand social dynamics and how your actions affect others. The 6 points above are just a few things that an environment without regulations would look like. Furthermore, your narrative is nothing but a repeat of 'social darwinism' and authoritarianism.
  10. You only state opinion and offer no proof or links to documents to back up your opinions. Of course being a college dropout with two degrees in engineering makes anything you post, not credible.
  11. There is no free market. In order for markets to function there must be regulations. I refer you back to the recent posts on gas prices caused by unfettered rampant speculation. Deregulation of the trading environment means we are all paying dearly at the pump!
  12. Art As A Spiritual Quest.

    I am posting this one without comment.
  13. I go into Starbucks to use their wifi when traveling.
  14. The problem with present and past presidents is that the oath of office has been broken. It is their job to uphold and defend the Constitution as opposed to chanting the meme; "we are keeping you safe". Safe at the expense of our freedom.
  15. ACLU sues Fed over NSA spying. NSA spying cannot be tried in a court of law. There goes what's left of the 'bill of rights' and the Constitution flushed down the black hole! http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/07/spygate-snooping-standing/
  16. Art As A Spiritual Quest.

    Can you post the painting?
  17. Who is going to enforce your ideal state? Jack booted storm troopers? Your narrative makes no sense so why not go to one of the right wing tea bagger sites elsewhere online and stop the trolling.
  18. You must be an advocate of a police state! Your narrative smacks of fascist idealism and authoritarianism.
  19. Show me evidence of the 300k retirement. Exactly who will take over the function of the USPS? Privatize it? Good luck with that one!
  20. To advocate that the NSA should police the White House and Congress is insane and illegal. Just as illegal as the data collection that the NSA is involved in. Quite frankly, your posts make little sense, just fractured syntax.
  21. Those ghost towns are old mining towns which usually are back in the mountains somewhere.
  22. I do know how things work in this country. I would appreciate it if you would stop the condescending remarks! Your remarks are advocating a military coup, which is treason!
  23. Do you understand that the NSA is part of the Pentagon, the military? You are advocating a military coup!
  24. Gas here shot up .29/gal overnight and 3 days later dropped .24/gal. An oil co. exec. admitted that at least 1.00/gal. is due to speculation. CFTC will do nothing about it. Paper trading without taking delivery with very little capital required and probably around 10/1 margin. Outrageous!
