You are wrong. Supply does not drive demand, demand drives supply. The magical policy is simple: write the orders and offer a viable price. I assure you that the product will magically appear.

Do you have any evidence for this? I believe it is completely untrue. First of all it was Frederick not George Weyerhsuser who was Roosevelt's contemporary, and he spoke out against him several...

Much of this is covered in my response to Rossmen. It does not contribute to your argument to describe medical procedures in emotionally charged language. I imagine that a similar kind of...

This is a false dichotomy. Nobody is denying your right to question research, or the duty of researchers to answer questions about their research. Both happen on a daily basis. However questioning...

I detect a pattern here. On one side of the debate we have people who give reasoned responses, which address the concerns raised by the other side, and explain clearly why someone might, from their...

This is an example of "post hoc ergo proper hoc" or the belief that because something happened immediately after something, it was caused by that thing. The only way to judge whether one thing causes...

There are people who cannot be vaccinated (the immuno-compromised, very young infants and others). As long as a certain percentage (different for different diseases but commonly in the 85-90% range)...

I do not think it is useful to talk about "isms", especially when we do not have anything approaching agreement on how they are defined. Also, while I support your general position, I see the history...

You are correct, you are not following him. Discretionary income is what is left over after you pay taxes and other necessary expenses. If some of the taxation pays for things that you would...

I am tired of hearing that, of course, government can never run anything right. In an attempt to rebut this notion I have been compiling a list of examples of well done government. I don't want to...

It is not true that all government programs are wasteful; it depends entirely on how well they are managed, just like private enterprise. Large organizations generally tend to be less efficient than...

To be clear, I did not intend to give the impression that I believed secondary homes were the sole cause of homelessness, but they are a strong contributory cause. I agree that passing such a law...

I would guess that a more or less equivalent percentage of the general population are users or abusers of drugs. Each social level has its own particular drugs; some come by way of doctor's...

So what you seem to be saying is that mankind reached peak wisdom in the mid eighteenth century, and that the Founding Fathers were able to anticipate all exigencies that might arise after their work...

No Government research here folks (certainly none that supports the claims being made.)

How about THE CLOTHES HAVE NO EMPEROR!

Because we had elections during WW2, during the Viet Nam anti war riots (remember 1968?) and during the depression when rioting was common. Germany had only been a demcracy for ten years or so when...

<br><br>Here is mine, though I do have some issues about some of the questions, and about political spectra generally:

I took your advice and skipped to 5, since this seems to be your favorite. I found a letter to the editor that contained no references, and completely misrepresents Noreen's proposal to use some...

May I congratulate you on stumbling across what has been one of the most exhaustively discussed issues on this very thread. But I am very happy to hear that you have done exhaustive research on the...

Well, Barry, I have to say I am impressed by your ability to spin scenarios that fit your evident preconceptions. I find it hard to understand the extent of your enthusiasm for Lynda Hopkins. It...

In fact I answered your question at some length, which you even gave me gratitude for. Perhaps I was too verbose, so here is a shorter answer, leaving out the false equivalency part.

Yes, it is...

Barry, you know better than this. In past campaigns Noreen was running for statewide office, in races against Republicans, when she was the standard bearer for the Democratic party. Candidates in...

Maybe we can feed two birds with one scone by building Ned Kahn's tower, and putting the KOWS antenna inside it!

Patrick Brinton

Barry has stated several times, along with others, that the mudslinging started with Noreen or her supporters attacking Lynda first. Could someone supply the context for this, please? It seems to me...

<br><br>

Challenge accepted. Erik Koenigshofer's PAC has reportedly raised $105,000, and so far spent $85,000 on Lynda Hopkins' behalf. You can see the details on Noreen Evans' Facebook page. And...

I think the problem here is that you have an unreasonable expectation of the kind of answer a candidate can honestly give. In fact I would say that if a candidate was willing to give you the kind of...

Who said that something MUST be built? Probably the owners felt that way, but that was not the point of the post that mentioned how long the lot had been vacant. The point was that anyone could have...

I was the person who made this request to Barry, and I am in nobody's camp. I have listened to and met both candidates, and have followed their campaigns both in the primary and since. I have also...

Barry

I am requesting that you ask Tom Lynch to moderate the tone of his posts on this thread. I, for one, find them overheated, rude, hostile appeals to emotion rather than reason. He makes...

On the topic of campaign contributions, I believe Lynda Hopkins and her supporters are missing (or obscuring) the point. They do not deny that she receives a substantial degree of support from...

Really this is becoming very tiresome. You are like a dog with a bone. The guy thinks Sebastopol should look into using more electric vehicles. You apparently do not. We get that. If it is really...

Really, Barry? Hyperbole? Hit piece? Struck me as being pretty mild, actually. It listed some of Linda's backers (not by name) and described some of the negative effects their businesses have locally...

"Dupont instrument" rhymed perfectly with "screamed the environmentalist"? I wouldn't be counting on getting much support from the poetry lovers, Michael!

In evaluating the weight to accord this post, it may be relevant to note that the poster joined WACCO the same day as the posting.

Barry, a suggestion: add a "member since..." item to what...

I think this should pretty much wrap up this thread. Nobody could accuse Nancy of bullying here, and she clearly states why she is qualified to have her point of view at least taken seriously, and...

I would suggest you google "double hung window repair" which will link you to a large number of web pages and videos showing how to diagnose and repair your window. When you have watched several...

That would be Natasha and Gregorio Pehrson. Their number is 707 632-5545. They were probably selling somewhere else that day, they are almost always there weekends..

I find this anti union invective very disturbing. Certainly there have been serious abuses perpetrated by unions, usually when the upper management lost touch with their membership and became another...

This is a masterful analysis of the local political structure. Barry if you have a best of list this should be on it (maybe deleting the time dependent part after this election.)

As an award winning investigative journalist, I would have expected better than the "Yah boo so are you" line of defense. Investigative journalism is a pursuit that, if properly done, will inevitably...

Earlier in the thread Erik asked for others to chime in and tell him if he is in the wrong here. After reading This post I feel compelled to answer his plea. As far as I can see he politely asked...
