Agreed.

"In a really free market"

Free markets are more of an illusion then reality.

Free markets where? In my neighborhood?, My town?, My area? My region? My country? My continent? The world?

Free markets as in free from government intervention? tax considerations? subsidies?, rebates? kickbacks? corporate collusion?

Free markets as in the dollar bill is ALWAYS the deciding factor? Food safety?, Sovereignty? Honor? Integrity?

Good post. Just part and parcel of the undermining of America.

It doesn’t cover 3/4 of New Mexico, I can assure you.

And you can’t drink or grow food with salt water, at least without a great deal of trouble.

[moonhawk]

I’ll take that in the spirit it was intended.... :-)

“The planet is nearly 70% water. The problem is that it isn’t always in places where it is wanted or needed.”

That makes it scarce as opposed to in shortage. And really, the only point of my comments, made late last night after a LONG day of hard physical work, was that the market should allocate resources, not government.

I don’t like welfare for crack whores, farmers, or big corporations...

You can’t drink or grow food without a great deal of trouble period. That is why nomadic tribes gave up and started living in agrarian societies— humans thrive when they store water so they can have an ample supply, and irrigate so they have ample food. That’s what California does—only idiots or anti-humans would want to stop that.

Hey! What are you doing here :)

[hedgetrimmer]

Try drinking or irrigating your crops with salt water

Tell us what happened, Toddsterpatriot. Maybe we can all learn from your unhappy experience! LOLOL!

[jedward]

The globalist mind is quite intriquing isn’t it?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Just playing whack the idiot.

[jedward]

So what’s the globalists limit? That’s what I’m interested in... Maybe you can help.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Tell us again about all the water on the planet. Don’t try to find out how much is fresh water. You might hurt yourself.

[Toddsterpatriot]

So what’s the globalists limit?

Which globalists? What limit?

[jedward]

Would you say that generally speaking you’re in favor of free-trade on the global level?

[jedward]

And no, I’m not setting you up here, I actually want to pick your thoughts...

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yes. Free trade benefits buyers and sellers.

[jedward]

Ok, now what are your measurements for how beneficial free-trade is to a particular nation? Key Indicators, etc.

I like more general measurements.

[jedward]

lookin’...

Is that quarterly, or just an example? What’s the purpose of the axis labels along the bottom? (other than the obvios). I’m trying to relate it to the Y-axis numbers.
