Let me tell you this: We humans, including SCIENTISTS, are helpless in most cases. Appealing for help to the spiritual Superpower (through prayers and other forms of belief- according to one's Faith) can work miracles (personal experience). Try it, for the sake of your children, and God will send them the right blessings and healers.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-23077829900509148392010-08-02T23:30:38.064-04:002010-08-02T23:30:38.064-04:00Okie,

THIS was the piece about Reagan's tax increases:<br /><br />http://old.nationalreview.com/nrof_bartlett/bartlett200310290853.asp<br /><br />(link is now in the post)<br /><br />It's by Bruce Bartlett. Of course he blames congress for it all, but there's no escaping the fact that Reagan raised taxes. Six times. In eight years. And Bush? Not once. If only the 'liberal' Bush were more like that Anti-Tax crusader Reagan, hmmm? <br /><br />Thanks for you comments!Niceguy Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896896323840121445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-89310513462737301182010-08-02T23:21:17.026-04:002010-08-02T23:21:17.026-04:00Yes, I'm a bit of a closet otaku, but I'm ...Yes, I'm a bit of a closet otaku, but I'm afraid I've never seen any of the Ghost in the Shell series. It's on my list of "want to sees" but I think it will be rather a long time before I could answer your question one way of the other. <br /><br />Also, I'm sure you realize I was just being a smartass with the 'citation' comment in this one. Well... genuine in that I think Skepdic IS an important read, so I'm happy to point people in that direction, but just having a bit of fun with that last line. Point still DEFINITELY taken concerning the last post!<br /><br />(Though I haven't quite got round to puttng in that LINK to the Reaganomics stuff yet...)Niceguy Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896896323840121445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-44374292222297361102010-08-02T23:03:15.348-04:002010-08-02T23:03:15.348-04:00Thanks Eddie.

I _do_ like for an author to be given credit for his/her work, but, more importantly to me, the citations expand the sources I pull information from. Also, by trying to critically review the sources, I hope to avoid, or at least minimize the amount of 'backfire effect,' described by Professor Carroll, in my own thinking.<br /><br />On an unrelated note; I know you are an anime fanboy also, and was wondering if you have any interest in the "Ghost in the Shell" franchise, and any opinion on the direction it has gone with "Solid State Society"?<br /><br />YHS,<br />OkiepoliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
