Scratch that last post. I could never vote for Mccain, why oh why does my party have to be so retarded? What is a conservative to do in America anymore? It's a choice between taking a sledge hammer to ones balls, or to one's wallet in the elections.
Well fairly soon it won't even be a choice anymore, already the candidates are being supervised not to engage in brilliant arguments or arcane remarks or allusions to history, as the majority of Americans are your typical government educated morons who lavish in their material wealth and masturbate away their ties to intellectual propensity.
A fellow once told me that I'm beyond stubborn, that I readily and hastily discount the opinions of others in a sort of fenced off existance where I put my hands over my hears and yell something like "nany nany boo boo" perhaps to a certain extent this is true, but I think this non sequitur - everyone including the person who pointed the finger at me, has inward biases that cover them from objectively looking at another's argument if it is in opposition of theirs. We engage in practices of asking people questions we already know the answer to not to identify a new truth but rather to test and analyze how another person thinks. The way people are suppose to be are intellectually independent, that is the maximum ability we have to ascertain truth within our environment, is to take analyze our environment ourselves, with only considerations but not embracing features of other's ideals. Otherwise our opinions, philosophies, and truthisms go in the direction of the wind. Of course this person would contend that I wouldn't even consider what they were saying which is just whollely naive and independent of reality but that's ok, that's up to them to have their opinion based on their analysis of events, just as I've stated.
Speaking of going with the wind.. our economy.
I don't think majority of Americans realize just how close to the great depression we got this past week. An excellent article from the weekly issue of "The Wallstreet Journal" goes over it in detail.
If the government didn't loan 85 billion dollars to AIG, they would have had to sell their assets for pennies on the dollar, and ultimately wouldn't have been able to cover the bad strikes against their insurance policies not only from Lehman but other banks that're close to being run on (put out) AIG exemplifies the current crisis in our credit system - THERE ISN'T any left, they tried desperately to pull someone to lend them money, and there is quite literally no credit being loaned out at this time.
Our economy is heavily dependent on credit. If the government didn't step in, and the strikes were allowed to go unfunded, we would have seen one hell of a ***** load of a ****** load of a wallop. We're talking bank failures, companies laying workers off en masse, houses being sold for pennies on the dollar, wallstreet crashing, shortages everywhere,
I mean pretty much just picture the great depression of 1929.
The government just printed 500 billion dollars out of thin air (here here inflation) to bail out the credit markets and insure faulty loans AIG recently insured, banks are still teetering but I think it'll go stable..
Short selling has literally been banned on wallstreet, and good riddens - a lot of this debacle is due to the fact that hedge funds were doing illegal shortage practices on Lehman brothers, implicated as the major reason why that firm went broke. The government panel that just banned short selling is also responsible for prosecuting illegal trade practices yet they completely and ineffectively dropped the ball on securing Lehman brothers
They had 70,000 lawyers chasing paper trails. On your dollar.
America's economy is being run by idiots, someone hire an exterminator for congress, we need to get those 535 roaches dealt with.
And as for a university update: tests are in the air, and I'll admit I've been lazy this semester and I've gotten some grades I'm not particularly proud of. This university is a whole nother tier of difficulty and I hope I can manage 3 science classes - and an advanced calculus class - although it's shaping up to be rather difficult, mainly because my classes have discussion classes within them, so it's basically like I'm on campus in class for 12 hours a day then whatever time is left I can use to study.
Am I in freggin med school or something?
