a juicy, clear recap of monetary policy @Hustini @Bjerknes

Only seen half of the video yet, wanna concentrate on CL for now, but what it is with the US-American sentiment that the founding fathers were some sort of infallable and omniscent beings?

I'm not just referring to the video, this keeps popping up over and over with any American media. I'm not debating the brilliance of at least most of their minds, and they were incredibly advanced, modern and liberal :)P) for their time, but they do not get treated in that way, but rather are elevated into god-like positions, whose ideas of how a state, society, economy or whatever should function are always perfect and true.

Whenever someone backs up their argument with stating that the founding fathers were of the same opinion, the question whether perhaps they could have been wrong, or at least not undebatebly right, or simply wether the historic circumstances of the time simply make their verdict on a particular topic inapplicable to todays situation due to how much has changed since then in this particular issue.





Also, I was incredibly distracted by the amazing match, so please excuse me for any grammatical or orthological errors, or just confusing syntax in general :D

I'm wandering around Copenhagen listening to music and thinking. A co-worker from my last job posted "Goodbye Cruel World" from Pink Floyd on facebook last night. I thought it was weird and in my head, I joked that he might kill himself.
He actually killed himself. For the first time in my life, I cried. I just started shaking and wrote to a guy from my old work. He didn't know about and rushed to the boss, who, at that moment, got a phonecall from the mom. He was found hung near a train station.
Sorry to hear that, yo. :sad:

@Enron

What city are you living in now? Made the mistake of watching Narco Cultura last night when I already couldnt fall asleep.
Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala. About 30km north of Puebla. Don't worry, I'm nowhere near the north. Closer to Mexico City than I am the border. But I still do go for a chingo de cerveza when it's 45 grados.

We do have that blood thirsty Mariachi music (banda, just fuckin' throw it away) and the occasional robbery or kidnapping, but for the most part its pretty tranquilo down here.

Thinking about a trip to Baja in Dec-Jan timeframe since I do a lot of work for the La Paz office. Could possibly pass north and hit up San Diego.

Other than that, not sure.

simple, history repeats itself and most of their writings revolved around concepts such as personal freedom and combating government tyranny, concepts that would be relevant and valid about 99% of the time imo
