yet supports the system that commits those acts.

Who cares if he calls out the mafia's crimes if he still supports the mafia?!?!?

How about I give him my respect when he stops using the mafia altogether... THAT is what is worthy of ethical endorsement.

And herein lies the problem. You think that you are an agent of the state and must support some goon in a blue uniform to threaten, assault, or murder a person innocent of injuring any person. A person with arguments superior to yours has not committed a crime against you. You are a psychopath and would do well to hide your head from ethical people who hunt creeps like you.

Through trauma maybe, like Stockholm Syndrome? It's definitely an interesting question. You have to also take into consideration that people in America believe that a woman who had never had sex was impregnated by god and gave birth to his son, who was also resurrected from the dead after he was killed by people. It's all like trauma based conditioning. This is why people go around like zombies all the time.

"fluffer"... that's a disturbing image.

You send your money to a small group of people far away even tho you do not like what they do with it because they will probably hurt you if you don't. The small group of heavily armed people use their power to influence the news and ideas you receive. How do people not see this conflict of interest on the part of the small heavily armed and violent group?

PWN (verb)

1. An act of dominating an opponent.

2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects.

Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled "Own" as "Pwn". What was originally supose to be "player has been owned." was "player has been pwned".

pwn?

[Midcal9]

Okay I agree Catbro, pwn them all.

You cant know who reads and doesnt post. There is no rational justification for cynicism. The people who read a discussion of the Fed are, at least, intelligent and intellectually curious. Rand's ideas are spreading. See the recent CPAC conference on C-SPAN (online) for many mentions of Atlas Shrugged.

Alternative is not proving shit to monkeys on youtube. Sure.

[TeaParty1776]

Alternative?!

Changing the topic: recall the 1960s, "Question Authority." Now liberals mean and sometimes say, "Don't Question Authority."
