Bada bing, bada boom. 
(quit it yopele, I’m actually beginning to appreciate your posts and reasoning skills)
Thank God someone can understand my posts - 'cause I can’t. 
Then you should be working on a way of opting out of society. Perhaps a wilderness bunker in Utah or something?
On this subject, a video with an interesting historical perspective, even if one must not necessarily take all arguments at face value.

no, I’ll just continue fighting thieves.

Fight with what?
What revolution? The armchair philosopher revolution?
You’re so full of shit, and it’s that detached mentality towards violence that’s gotten us into this mess.
Seems only fitting you’d admire a draft dodger as your ‘war’ president.
why the pinko commie revolution that the left constantly salivates about having…
detached mentality? smoke another one… the thing that got us in this mess is the jihadists.
no, clinton was the draft dodger and I do not admire him.
bush served honorably in the guard. and he didn’t have to wound himself to get a purple heart to get out of service.

Gobbo,
I know you grasped onto the conspiracy theories before you ever even learned the actual history or had any understandings about the functionings of the organizations that you claim are corrupted, so I try to take it easy on you. You’re like a virgin when forced to deal with things that actually happened. Thus, I’d like to ease you into reality.
I know it’ll be a shock. This stuff is not easy to accept. But you need to trust me, 'cause ‘intuitively’ I know I can help you.
I propose we start with the foundation of government. How does that sound?
What is this? You’re out of touch…
So you want to kill American ‘leftists’.
Smart…
Even if there was a legit terrorist threat don’t you think 1 war is enough already?
You think I admire Clinton? Give your head a shake. His little ‘group’ with Gore (who you know is full of shit cause you are with me on the ‘Global Warming’ thing) is the start of the end. I’ve told you numerous times how much I think the Democrats are just the other side of the exact same coin of direction.
Yopele,
Yeah… we’ve heard it before.
Ditto.
Any chance you’ll end your tirade soon?
Is gov 101 good for you?
Why should I end it?
You log in solely to talk to me no?
Of course I do, given that roughly 5% of my last 200 posts were directed toward you. Once again, your intuition at work.
Why do you keep trying, Gobbo?
Does this even have to do with economics?
There are plenty of other threads you can resume to berate a poster’s persona,but i still cant come to some kind of conclusion about world economics based on the content of this thread.
Too often these threads are reduced to left VS right and labeling someone left or right.This results in the usual squabbles that can easily be continued on the limitless other squabble threads.
That web site linked to by kesh was a usual site where you have to subscribe to read some/most of the articles.I could not find an article there addressing my query.I used the search but it was not precise.
I agree. This statement by Gobbo:
was completely unprovoked.
You were referring to Gobbo, weren’t you?
uhhh, no comment.
Sorry if I perturbed the impossibility of having ‘the perfect thread’ in order to share some actual critical thought.
So, you weren’t referring to the person who started the berating? 
Then I don’t think I agree with you after all.
Drift.
Though Earth’s resources rapidly decline, human ability-rate to consume them increases. It will not be a crash of human tools/systems, the crash, when/if it comes, will be global and unstoppable, as resources on earth are finite.
