The Obama victory.

I have some questions not just for you but for everyone on here. Is it the idea of capitialism that is faulty or is it the morality of the individual businessmen that is faulty?

What if there was a way to get people in general to be more moral and truthfully go by a set or moral standards and they were willing to do this because it was the right thing to do not because it was forced? If this was able to be done would regulations be necessary?

That is true.

In fact before we demolish someone else's argument we owe it to ourselves to test our thinking -first-. Each of us should suspect ourselves of error before we sniff out someone else's error.

I agree with what you say to a certain extent. We don't want to end up in analysis paralysis. This is what happens to me a lot. My opinion is to put some thought into it and get to a conclusion. Even if we do test it we still may some flaws to it. There may have been things we didn't think of. Overall, I say be prepared to re-analyze and be wrong sometimes.

From my experience, some arguments may not even be worth demolishing or analyzing in the long scheme of things. Metaphorically, sometimes one has to take out his trash and mow his lawn meaning he may have more pressing priorities.

I can't believe no one has brought up the fact that the whole issue of Republican vs. Democrat is a deception. Both parties support the same things. Oh, sure, there are some superficial differences. But on the major issues, which are never debated, there is total agreement between both parties. You might as well say we have one political party in the U.S., the "Republicrats."

What are the real issues? First on the list is erosion of personal liberty. Aside from lip service, the Republicrats vote for the Patriot Act, NDAA, etc. The Republicrats support the use of the U.S. Constitution as toilet paper. Another issue the Republicrat party is in agreement on is how to hold elections. Currently, electronic voting machines are widely known to be easily hacked. The computers that compile votes are easily manipulated. Ordinary citizens are not allowed to supervise how the machines are prepared before the vote, or how the vote is counted afterwards. Yet the Republicrats are completely happy with the situation. I can't know if my vote will even register, or if when I vote for one person it is not switched to another. Unless this is fixed, it does not good to complain about any other issue.

I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that the whole Republican vs. Democrat issue is a scheme to keep us thinking that we have a choice, when we really can't even be sure that our votes count.
