However such musings do invite a certain level of religious commentary. But, I would hardly call it a religious freak show, simply and honest and frank discussion without timidity toward the subject of religion.

But what do expect from a site that has been saying the economy is going to collapse daily yet GDP was strong today. As a matter of fact, earnings are strong as well. There are plenty of bearish sites/blogs around with actually good information and great back and forth commentary. This, on the other hand, has turned into religious freak show!

I fully understand that the Bible is not about money. I know that very well, however, the fundamental text for Christianity is called the Bible. I mentioned the Bible because you said the following:

“But bailouts for individuals, i.e. especially poor and sick people is never wrong. It is called Christianity”

If you are not advocating here the stealing of MONEY from one individual to “bailout” the individual to give it to the poor, what are you advocating for?

“Bill, I like every word you say. Edgy and true. We need you to buy an island, set up a new country, based on the common, straightforward reading of our constitution. No watering down by 200 plus years of judicial manuevering. You could be el Presidente, and we would be saved from the Socialists now in power in Washington, D.C.”

The Bible isn’t about money. Well, not in the first place, that is. You will learn that sooner or later. Or not.

I’m reading through your archives and just read, “Moonstruck” (6/19/00) – hilarious! I loved how you compared “everything happens at the margins” with women’s wear.

To other newcomers to DR like myself I encourage you to browse through BB’s archives – everything is just as relevant today, and just as fun to read.

(I will change my name hereon from “Scott” to “Scooter” as I have noticed that there is another Scott writing as well.)

Brilliant article

Lost & Found-

I have read my Bible and find that nowhere in it does it tell me to go, take the money of your neighbor, and give it to the poor. In-fact, it allows for us each to be responsible for his or her own conscience and money.

The rich young ruler was commanded to sell all his possessions and then follow. When he chose not to do that, the goons were not sent to do that for him — wether he wanted to or not.

The Bible does condemn theft though. Taking other peoples money is a sin. Even if the theif intends to give it to the poor.

Not to say Jay McQ would have been any better.

But, “It winnows out the weak…and it toughens up survivors”.

Ouch, Bill.

Couldn’t that be considered a hate/thought crime in the New Socialist World Order. Get with the program.

Didn’t you get the Obama Messiah memo? Its now all about transferring the wealth of the producers to the social parasites of the world.
