    SARCASTIC INVITATION TO COMMENT

    “Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.”

    Where do people come up with this? 🙂

    The last generation of libertarians have David Gordon. I’m envious. But, we have Skye Stewart. And that’s a pretty good thing it turns out. 😉

    Now we can treat people even more like livestock.

    I am a cow to be milked. I understand. I understand.

  • How Does Coca-cola Pass National Food Agencies If They Don’t Reveal The Ingredients?

    The ingredients are actually known, and available on the internet.  Water, sugar, salt, and eight or nine oils in very small quantities.  The countries that ban it do it to reject cultural influence, not because of ingredients.  In Coca Cola, the caffeine (unless something has changed) still comes from the Kola nut itself.  And the government has given exclusive rights to the company to use extracts of coca leaves – which is why no one can replicate the flavor.  The rest of the flavors are natural.  And there is a whole lot of science that the company can call on if someone wants to criticize it for some reason.  It’s fine as you don’t live on it. It’s better if you get the stuff made with sugar rather than corn syrup. 🙂  Much better. 🙂

    “Could have been me.”

    I cant help but suggest that the world would be a better place if it had been.

    Bad meme. Just encourages the retort.

    Clueless.

    Even worse than Carter.

    http://cafehayek.com/2011/06/quotation-of-the-day-12.htmlHICKS AS AN IMPROVEMENT ON SOWELL

    If you’re going to bring up Sowell’s Knowledge and Decisions, and his Vision of the Anointed, then the less morally loaded version of the argument is Stephen Hicks’ Explaining Postmodernism. It’s both more accessible to a wider audience and a clearer rendition of the argument. http://www.amazon.com/Explaining-Postmodernism-Skepticism-Socialism-Rousseau/dp/0983258406

    Hard to improve on Sowell. But Hicks does a good job of adding a dimension to the argument agains the socialist visions of the anointed.
