The principal questions before the convention became whether the states should remain sovereign, whether sovereignty should be transferred to the national government,
or whether a settlement should rest somewhere in between.

The question of nation builders cannot be a question anymore going forward. As warned in Daniel, any Ten Kings will only be given a Time upon his footstool.

The minds are corupt and bent in avarice.

OPEC stated that their goals are driven by economic principles.

Ok each barrel = x growth for those without a dollar to spend or a floor to stand on.

Bad enough locally as it is now anyways with child poverty locally.

Narratives are for starving children no matter what age.

John -- An interesting set of waves --

Martin Armstrong Asks "Will They Hang Bankers Again On Wall Street?"

In all three such periods there was a rising underbelly of rising tension and rebellion against the powers that be.

Today, people are increasingly becoming fed up with Washington and the rebellion unfolds ONLY when the economy turns down. There was Charles Dazey’s Broadway Play The War of Wealth (February 10, 1896). This 51.6 year ECM Wave that peaked in 1929.75 (#919-924) was a Private Wave that began with the death of Karl Marx and the previous 51.6 year Wave peaked in 1878. In 1882, because of anti-monopoly laws, Standard Oil is organized as a trust, which would become the target of all time.

This is just irrelevant political stuff. It really makes no
difference whatsoever whether or not Dodd Frank and the Volcker Rule
are repealed. The astronomically big stock market bubble will burst
with or without these regulations.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking about the regulations , I was thinking about the cycles.
Regulations change , cycles seem to continue regardless.

cheers , have a happy holiday

As tyler knows " This is exactly what I meant when I recently wrote about the largest con job in the history of the world. The government and its appointed policymakers have the market, the working class, the media muppets, everyone so narrowly focused on the indicators that we have failed to notice the very thing the indicators were ultimately meant to indicate, i.e. our well being, is deteriorating at an accelerating rate. When was the last time you heard the media muppets or the Fed discuss the epidemic of falling real median incomes? Exactly, it is never mentioned. In order to keep the con going the American working class has been flooded with consumer debt to prop up GDP growth and to defraud us into believing our lives are improving.

Basically the which moves to the rule of the master builder dilema when it was asked who was at fault when the tower fell.

When anything painful, sorrowful, or grievous befalls us as Dr. Sproul warns us also, it is never an act of injustice on God’s part, because God does not owe us freedom from tragedies. He does not owe us protection from falling towers. We are debtors to God and cannot repay. Our only hope to avoid perishing at the hands of God is repentance.

Jesus was not being insensitive or harsh with His disciples. He simply had to jolt them out of a false way of thinking. We would do well to receive His jolt with gladness, for it helps us see things from the eternal perspective. We can deal with catastrophes in this world only by understanding that behind them stands the eternal purpose of God and by realizing that He has delivered us from the ultimate catastrophe—the collapse of the tower of His final judgment on our heads.

Simple as we are lifes little miserys there are reminders that we can never repay the actual debts of self.
Problem still remains the definition of debt and opportunity costs of what the term really incurs.
As we warned, Amos and others warned us what the famine actually is, his word.

For pretty much every animal species on earth, including humans, the
population grows faster than the food supply, resulting in mass
starvation and/or wars and death. If God created the earth and all
the species, then that's His fault, isn't it?

"The rules of morality are not the conclusions of our reason." - David Hume

As Higg noted to me being Bagehot on some items which conveys the character of leaders was often more important than their political affiliation
or beliefs so yes it is about clear details.

Things are they way they are so as to keep creation interesting,-- so as to prevent boredom ---
This is a hard thing to accept--- but when you look at events, animals, plants, humans, etc and otherwise, it make sense. How do you prevent boredom?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boredom -- Boredom is an emotional state experienced when an individual is left without anything in particular to do, and not interested in their surroundings.

And why do people take challenges? Even death defying, -- When they appear to have "everything"? , --- boredom

cheers to all

John don't limit your self to just Earth, Creation doesn't.
