      I finished reading that /b/ post on the laptop that I purchased with money I earned through my own labor, then proceeded to take a sip of coffee from a mug I made myself out of ceramics. Then I went to the kitchen in the house that I hold the deed to and made myself a sandwich using ingredients I purchased from a privately owned store and bread that I baked myself.
      198.726% of people will not realize that this percentage is impossible given what we are measuring. If you enjoy eating Monterey Jack cheese, put this in your sig and add 3^4i to the percentage listed.

      Cause surely all the poor kids would do much better if they couldn't afford to attend school at all.

      ah, no. The point is that just because its state funded doesnt mean its good. Likewise if you are going pure free market you then have to look around for what the best is, but at least there are options.

      I just hate anything that seems to glorify one side and demonize the other, because it seems to me that its pretty obvious we need a mix for the best result.

      and how the electrical grid is falling apart, and how everyone thinks the FCC is a joke, and how the FDA approves dangerous drugs.

      oh yea, those work great, and the postal service is going broke..

      And the roads and bridges are crumbling.

      we're doing just fine, LOL



      Government run anything is fail for the most part.

      Government needs to be shown where its place is, constrained and locked away like a little bitch, its OUR LITTLE BITCH which we should boss around and tell what to do.

      And I tell it to protect our unalienable rights, to obey the oath they take, if they do not obey they are shamefully booted out of office and have their bodyguards taken off duty, they deserve no protection, traitors deserve to be left out on their own.

      Then, they should make sure we are a republic, a constitutional republic, not a stupid Greek democracy, rule of the majority, oppression of the minority.

      Then we would have competently built and maintained roads and bridges built by companies, not departments of failure.

      the DOT's sad attempt to maintain the road system is obvious, they patch holes with cheap asphalt quick and easy, and they just pray it holds...what a plan!

      Not to mention our fragile electrical grid system which can totally fail at any given moment, remember the blackout of 2003? that was caused by 1 power line knocked out in the middle of the us, which shut power off all the way to new york city and far beyond.

      DOE is doing a shit job, DOEducation is also doing a shit job, the CDC is a fucking lying joke, the UN and FDA and FCC are irrelevant and retarded.

      How about the department of agricultures failure to stop salmonella popping up everywhere in vegetables and other strange sources?

      Why is our produce so harmfully covered in unsafe artificial pesticides?...because of them..

      Organically grown non doa approved food is WAY better, with natural pesticides like sulfur and garlic, or some farms use specific insects or small animals to feed off the insects which like the crops.

      Better yet, if we weren't on the governments antiquated system, we would have had a huge farming industry of hydroponically grown vegetables and fruits, grown with ZERO pesticides organically, indoors in a greenhouse, no soil no fertilizer, cheaper cost...cost effective and way healthier....or the governments subsidized outdoor failure alternative.

      subsidization doesn't work, let the free market decide the best product, not some douche in a suit who doesn't understand the issues he attempts to fix with useless legislature and subsidized money and regulations and rules..

      I encourage all to say no to socialism. Let us end road socialism, military socialism, legal socialism and all other forums of disgusting coercive collectivist thought. Privatize that which moves and that which doesn't.

      He got one thing wrong. The federal reserve is a private bank.

      okay i admit mcdonalds was a terrible name choice, how about the Federal Express.

      That could fool many into believing its a federal program for delivery.

      More like if the Federal Express was created by the government, was given a monopoly on the services it provides and is able to create its own profits out of thin out in which people are legally obligated to accept.

      That was created through a piece of government legislation. The Fed is a strange hybrid.
