    Guys, it should be pretty clear to anyone paying attention that Obama is not the problem. It's the people who vote that are the problem. We are all engines of karma

    I know you're a smart guy, but doesn't that involve sex somewhere along the line? We are all engines of karma

    Understood, and agreed. We are all engines of karma

    In practice, the highlighted sentence is proving to be a less than stable principle. If the government keeps promising free stuff to "unproductive citizens", then the government takes more from productive citizens and eventually they're no longer any productive citizens. Where's the checks and balances here? We are all engines of karma

    You lost me, billvon. Howw is this a separate issue? We are all engines of karma

    +1 This begs the question - what is a reasonable tax rate on "the rich"? I know some here think Laffer curve optimizations showing 60% marginal rate is the "right answer". In looking at that, I did not see any discussion of the optimization's objective function used to derive that value of 60%. Personally, that seems high to me, but then again, I would really like to see the objective function used by those doing that optimization. We are all engines of karma

    Did you get a chance to read the article? Well worth the read. We are all engines of karma

    Very interesting article: Why Not Soak the Rich? It's not short, but I found it well worth the read. Here's the last paragraph for those interested in a summary: We are all engines of karma

    What aircraft incident are you referring to at Lodi? Does this mean you won't jump at Perris, either? We are all engines of karma

    My god, this is so good I'm saving it. I know I'm an asshole, but I only know I'm an asshole when I want to be an asshole. It's the other times that I'm being an asshole, when I don't know I'm being an asshole, that I need to work on. Actually, what I'm thinking now is that when I'm being an asshole, but don't know I'm being an asshole, that it's actually the other person who thinks I'm being an asshole that's actually the asshole. Geez, I'm tired now. We are all engines of karma

    It will take days for NK to fuel a missile, that currently can't even reach Los Angeles, much less Washington. Assuming we didn't destroy the missile before launch, I would imagine we have multiple Arleigh Burke's standing on station to shoot it down. We are all engines of karma

    If it grows out of the ground, and is used in that form, can God be wrong? We are all engines of karma

    I've ignored the guy for years now. Thought I'd give it a shot to see if anything had changed. Now, back at the farm... We are all engines of karma

    Agreed. I'm assuming the CNO (Chief of Naval Operations, which is a really powerful position in the Navy) is involved in these decisions. Just like the decision to leave carriers docked. Very potent statements on their part. If I had to guess, I think he's mad We are all engines of karma

    And you clearly have issues far beyond anything that should be discussed in public. I truly hope you're getting professional help for them. We are all engines of karma

    IMO, one problem here is that no one seems able to agree on what's being measured, and what it means. That's fundamental to any problem solving technique I've ever encountered. It's beyond ridiculous now. We are all engines of karma

    Just came across this. Sounds like the CNO(?) isn't messing around here... LOL... http://news.usni.org/2013/03/04/budget-cuts-could-pull-navy-out-of-the-war-on-drugs We are all engines of karma
