- 976Posted by freedomforall 2 months, 3 weeks ago to It’s the Fourth of July! Why Am I Sad?You already have experience with hurdles that can instantly appear blocking your success.
You will have to deal with that kind of corruption and blackmail if your inventions become popular.
I'll hate seeing you as another long suffering Hank Rearden.
(Hank is my favorite character in AS.) - 977As producers, each of us has a slightly different tolerance for looters and moochers. Ayn Rand, John Galt, and likely you would argue that my tolerance for them is too high, but Dagny and Hank Rearden would not. That is a big part of why Atlas Shrugged is such a wonderful book. There is an intriguing balance between intolerance for looters and moochers versus an insatiable appetite for invention.

freedom for creative success to advance.
When the traitors have been exposed and punished and the
burden of government on the productive reduced to voluntary
contribution- value for value, that will be possible. - 979Posted by $ jbrenner 2 months, 3 weeks ago to [Ask the Gulch] The Iranian anti-American Islamists have chosen July 4th to have the funeral for their dear, departed, goat-f***ing leader. What I want to know is, why haven't the US and Israel carpet-bombed that funeral with napalm already?It will be a good time when we can respond like Howard Roark, "I don't think of you." Right now, the Iranians are like an annoying mosquito. They have a low probability of a both a minor annoyance and perhaps even death if they carry a life-threatening disease. Swatting them often is a waste of time, but a successful swat can be rewarding.
- 980I appreciate the sadness of this post, but I can't dwell on that. There is too much inventing and transacting to do. The business and invention climate have certainly improved recently, especially here in Florida. My region in particular is turning into Galt's Gulch.

Despite living in Washington north of Oregon, he joins the broacast on Tuesdays from 6-9 AM Eastern!

Good thinking to first mind the midterms when treason at home is afoot. - 983Posted by $ allosaur 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Salute The Behind The Scenes Founding Father Who Introduced The Lee ResolutionI'm actually a David with a Swedish surname.
No one has ever called me Dave, though.
Therefore, I can miss an American history question. - 984Posted by freedomforall 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Salute The Behind The Scenes Founding Father Who Introduced The Lee ResolutionFor a positive musical look at the actions of the
continental congress in its deliberations in the signing of the Declaration of Independence,
I recommend the movie, 1776 as a part of your celebration of Independence Day.
Richard Henry Lee is one of the delegates to congress in the movie and has an important role.

Your library may also have a copy on DVD. - 985Posted by $ jbrenner 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Salute The Behind The Scenes Founding Father Who Introduced The Lee ResolutionI learned that by listening to Dave Does History on a recent Tuesday on the local radio in Florida. Dave, however, is based out of Washington and has a "What the Frock" podcast. Dave's mentor is my local radio station host, Bill Mick.

What I want to know is, why haven't the US and Israel carpet-bombed that funeral with napalm already?Because we are civilized, and we shouldn't break peace agreements we have voluntarily made, unless our enemy does so.
Yes, it does appear that the 'leaders' of Iran intend the funeral as an insult to us.
They want us to break the peace so they can claim to be superior.
It is a propaganda move.
It is obvious to most people and we should be smart enough not to respond to it with foolish anger.
We will respond at a time of our choice, not the time of the enemy.
If the 'leaders' of Iran want their assets that we control to be released,
insulting us will do the opposite.
String the enemy along until the midterms have been won, and then the foot can fall. - 987Posted by $ allosaur 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Salute The Behind The Scenes Founding Father Who Introduced The Lee ResolutionThat was a guessed-at multiple choice question me dino just missed that I found in my email this morning.

What I want to know is, why haven't the US and Israel carpet-bombed that funeral with napalm already?Hear! Hear! Blow them all to hell!
That strikes me dino as a deliberate insult.
Should they deny it, I would not trust those stalling, lying barbarous religious fanatics as far as I could throw them all stacked together. - 989Posted by $ jbrenner 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Salute The Behind The Scenes Founding Father Who Introduced The Lee ResolutionAbsolutely! John Adams thought that the 2nd of July would be the day that would be remembered.
- 990Posted by $ allosaur 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Minnesota Gov Walz Pardons Convicted Child-Molester, Blocking DeportationThe slimy commie Jackass Party views all illegals as bad or even worse than Vang as a perp worthy of being just another future voter for their insane causes.
So would any piece of Schiff who'd vote for Tampon Tim. - 991Posted by $ allosaur 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Salute The Behind The Scenes Founding Father Who Introduced The Lee ResolutionStruck me dino as way significant enough to mention it here on the Fourth Of July
- 992Posted by freedomforall 2 months, 3 weeks ago to The Elephant in the Room That Is FraudYes, treason for many parasitic politicians and their conspirators.
- 993Posted by freedomforall 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Minnesota Gov Walz Pardons Convicted Child-Molester, Blocking DeportationHe needs to go on a training trip to Japan.
His return trip can be in baggage. - 994Neither am I.
- 995Posted by $ jbrenner 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Independence Day - Why the Declaration is important, and pick one of Ben Franklin's virtues for self-improvementOne of the reasons I am taking a business development course via the Concept Lab (https://www.linkedin.com/company/conc...) is to figure out how to maximize my chance of being such an industrial giant.
- 996Posted by rhfinle 2 months, 3 weeks ago to `14th Ammendment errorI don't take selfies, but mostly because I don't want to break my camera. it was expensive. I'm not tech-literate enough to make my phone do it.
- 997Posted by $ jbrenner 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Independence Day - Why the Declaration is important, and pick one of Ben Franklin's virtues for self-improvementFrom Galt's speech: ""But you expect industrial giants—who plan in terms of decades, invest in terms of generations, and undertake ninety-nine year contracts—to continue to function and produce, not knowing what random caprice in the skull of what random official will descend upon them at what moment to demolish the whole of their effort."
- 998Posted by $ jbrenner 2 months, 3 weeks ago to Salute The Behind The Scenes Founding Father Who Introduced The Lee Resolution99% of people have never heard of this founding father, yet his contribution was quite significant.
