Who is Lyndon Larouche?
by cynicus inin a discussion about the looming end of this system as propagated by some poster here, larc said:.
i think most economists don't even bother, because larouch is so far off from reality, a true fringe player.
there are many critiques of larouch's politics, which are interesting reading.. to be honest i had never heard from this guy before.

What do you think would happen if aliens landed?
by Abaddon inlet's paint a little picture.. it's spring 2002. at 1200h gmt a radio and tv announcement is broadcast on almost all conventional frequencies, in appropriate formats according to the medium and the area.. it's from a bunch of pale violet humaniods who have come "in peace for all qw'z'x>kind".
they say they want to meet up with the un in full cnongress.. disbelief rapidly turns to amasement when cnn and other news-services provide footage of a large alien vessel descending into the river near the un.
large in this case means 5km long... and wisely, none of the sac jets sent to have a look pull a will smith or anything stupid, although one gets nudgeed gently away by an invisable beam of some sort when it gets too close.. let's say it becomes apparent the aliens are utter benign, happy to hand out technological aid, scientific knowledge, and hope to welcome the people of earth to your typical peaceful federation of planets (about 5,00 different species all told).. how do you think people would react?

How sure were you that it was the truth?
by sleepy inwhen you were a witness how sure were you that it was the truth?.
were you totally convinced or did you think it was just the best way to serve a god but not perfect.. it amazes me when i think of how vigourusly i defended the witness and my ideals when on the minisrty and in talking to friends.. what worries me is that if i was so covinced then about what i belive then should i be so convinced now.. back then i was at the pinnacle of understanding or at least i belived i was , do i feel the same now?.
well i try to not be so dogmatic about thing now.

ENRON & SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE
by You Know ina few days back i made a comment on the collapse of enron on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=16970&site=3.
an excerpt from my post read: "enron is a classic example of the hollow and predatory nature of the so-called new economy, which some imagine to be a new and improved way to make money!
instead of actually producing gas and energy products, enron got into buying and selling futures sales of non-existent gas and electricity.
