Isn't God a 'trinity' of Father, Son, Holy Ghost? That may explain the use of plural possessives...

I don't know where you work in the company, but imagine if it has any relation to commercial aircraft then everything is probably a mess. They've got some serious problems that go way beyond the scope of this issue, and I'm sure they're pretty sick of "the book" right about now []

Assuming you work in a department other than HR, this sounds like an institutional problem. I wouldn't continue unless you want to form some real tension within your company. The fact that HR is going to back up a manager who is obviously going to violate written protocol clearly tells you how things run at your place, and how you can expect them to run in the future. If you want that position make your desires known to those who promote, don't be adversarial to decisions they've already made, they'll remember you for doing it.

IMO, Excluding Gustave de Molinari, truely principled libertarianism-anarchism is so new that it hasn't even established itself in any way amongst even the rest of the libertarian mindset. Murray Rothbard's generation was really the first that advocated a complete abolishment of government. Even Mises, his teacher and mentor, was a minarchist. It just hasn't been around long enough, and doesn't have enough influence to be a target for co-opting. Minarchism, as you rightly pointed out, was co-opted long long ago.

If what I read on the internet can be trusted, the slippers were originally silver. The story is 'supposedly' about the government's institution of "bimetallism" thus outlawing the market between gold and silver. Bimetallism is the legal mandate of an exchange rate, instead of freely floating prices on an open market. Oz is the shorthand for the unit of measurement of weight = ounces. The Emerald City is Washington D.C. and it is green because it represents useless Greenbacks paper money. The yellow brick road is gold. The slippers are silver. Bimetallism is a scheme to demonitize silver in favor of gold, and turn silver money into tokens (value acording to face and law instead of weight, thus the government steals the value). Dorothy is the average american. Tin Man is the Steel industry. Scarecrow is the nations farmers. The Cowardly Lion I think was a politician or something.

Wow! Meteor Turns Night Into Day In Midwest; See The Video

Here it is! Hans Hermann Hoppe - Fallacy of Public Goods Theory and the Production of Security. Pg 28-29 are where he starts to get into it. EDIT: Freedomain Radio is a non-rivalous website which chooses to be non-exclusive and which is successfully privately provided.. a clear violaton of game theory.

To put it in terms of the OP video; If any of the 100 individuals will refuse to provide the good any time that the individual cost is greater than 3, then 29,500 units of productivity are lost. This means any entrepeneur who is capable of devising a means of excluding non-contribiters will reap a benefit of up to 29,499-e units of productivty, where e = the cost of implemention of the solution.

I don't remember where I saw it (somewhere in mises.org), but I'll try to paraphrase the answer until/if I find it. But the underlying statement in the "tragedy of the commons" type of arguments is that the net benefit of collective action far outweighs the costs acruing to any individual participant. Or put more simply, that there is a profit to be found in solving the problem of the common (in this case air polution). The argument rephrased is that private profit seeking individuals will be unable to exploit a profitable situation, even though there is a stated economic gain in solving the problem. Tom Woods jokingly give a sort of answer.

Yes. Not sure what you mean here. Could you please clarify. Obviously it's an alien aerial bombardment, a precursour and preparation for the eventual invasion (as the woman in the video made reference).

Because he rjects reality as it is presented to him...on a fundamental level... everything is a lie, and any stated truth is obviously false and a diversion.

Anybody who's flunked out of West Point knows you have to "soften up" your tactical insertion point.....

Posted of facebook. "Free healthcare isn't to blame for this." EDIT: From an economics standpoint, this is a perfect demonstration of the reality of resouce allocation. If the ER is not allowed to allocate care by price, it is required to find other means. This results in allocatoin by queues and triage.

Do you think the meteorite was spraying chemicals?

Also they don't have to compete with other companies for frequency allocation from the FCC for radio and television.

Science has not been able to prove that the world is not flat.

It's a very rare phenomenon at low altitude, this is one (I think the only) decent photograph of it's existence. You are gauranteed to never see this happen in south Florida.

Not saying you guys are wrong at all... but for those interested here's the alternative viewpoint. Contrail Science Here you go. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Canadian-North/Boeing-737-232-Adv/1865339/L/&sid=6e8bf2986eadf69b3465d37be07ec4de

Thanks! had no idea!

Quoting Rothbard The second criticism is that ultimately the problem is that captialism gives people what they want. If people desire satisfaction of their primal needs and instant gratification then the market will adjust to it. However, if people desire culture, then the market will adjust to that as well (actually it currently does both, high culture is easily obtainable if you one desires it. Everybody wants to tell everybody else what kind of person they should be, and doesn't consider what kind of people they want to be.The two complaints also contradict the states solutions. IF people only desire instant gratification THEN there would be no problem of "inherited wealth" since nobody would look farther into the future than the end of their own lives. Likewise, as Rothbard discussed, if estates are taxed at 100% then this society towards instant consumption and gratification, since there is no point in saving for future generations. It also serves to break up capital accumulation, which hampers the rate at which society can create wealth.

I imagine that dog's don't taste very good. That's like.... 3rd world "you're gonna die if you don't get some animal protein" cuisine.. (didn't watch video, at work)

So much for the religion of work...
