You'd have to change the constitution to provide room for coalitions like they have in England. That's in the constitution? I think all we would really need to do is have more people brave enough to vote the bastards out of office. Whether the founders intended it or not, the system is set up for t...

From the debate with Nader, I could tell that Baldwin is a decent guy. I can't remember what about his platform I didn't like though ... maybe not enough protection for the environment or something.

Mises actually goes into what follows a period of unusually cheap money, in that the players begin to think they can do anything. I don't believe the Austrians re...

That article would belong right alongside the article that says that the Nasa moon walk was actually filmed in the Nevada desert. http://www.freakingnews.com/NASA-loses-moon-landing-tape-Pictures---1115.asp Except there is no axe to grind as it occurred nearly 400 years ago.
