Stuff like this just makes me mad. They are trying to get people on step 12 when they are on step 2. Establishing the existence measurable mass fluctuations doesn't sound very expensive and is interesting all by itself. They should focus on that. John G. Cramer actually received a grant from Nasa t...

Re: Visit to Helion Energy Lab
I probed John as best I could, but I could find no obvious roadblocks. You at this forum know that spotting potential problems is my strong suit, and my expertise in FRCs should have helped me to do so in this case. Of course, it might just not work for any number of reasons, and John has no illusi...

Well if there is absolutely no danger from nuclear weapons in the eyes of experts then what does this indicate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock#Time_changes I guess its time that it should be renamed from "Doomsday Clock" into a "A Clock of minor danger and some inconvenience". :roll: T...

then you are discounting the nuclear winter[...] If mount Pinatubo couldn't do it there's no chance in hades a pitiful few gigatonnes of nukes will.

Hayek was quite insightful. I have long alleged that something very similar happens with the social rules of society. Before the Government made it tolerable, having a child out of wedlock was miserable and possibly fatal for both the mother and child. Many people would question what possible good ...

I leave you with Hayek on price controls: Assume that somewhere in the world a new opportunity for the use of some raw material, say, tin, has arisen, or that one of the sources of supply of tin has been eliminated. It does not matter for our purpose--and it is very significant that it does not mat...

We have it a lot better that the treatment applied to the English monarch Charles 2nd. I dug this up. "But first, by way of introduction to the subject of death by doctoring, we travel back a few hundred years, to the bedside of King Charles II, where fourteen of the highest physicians in the land ...

Look guys. It would be good to stop the name calling. TD. No need for harsh words. Just keep asking "what is the difference between sovereign immunity and a contract?" Maui. I know. I know. We should all treat each other like brothers. And if it costs nothing I'm all for it. But if there are costs ...

Dave, I think the answer to the question you pose is catastrophic insurance coupled with MSAs. And MSAs should be allowed to accumulate allowing you to by insurance with higher deductibles as time goes on. That would give you price shopping in procedures costing under $10,000 or so. It would also h...

BTW, my tongue in cheek solution to the cost of health care is to start billing the home countries of aliens recieving health care in the US. If California was reimbursed for the money that the spend on illegal (and legal) alien health care, they would not be bankrupt. If the home countries won't p...

Re: Healthcare & rationing
Okay, here's where I stand. I am definitely for healthcare for all. I don't care as much how it happens, but it seems silly to me that we, for example, find it perfectly acceptable to mandate car insurance, but not health insurance. Just as uninsured motorists will have accidents , uninsured people...
