It seems these days we call progression becoming more primitive, while the conservative wishes to mostly conserve whatever challenges actuality.<BR/><BR/>These movements are simply obsessed with novelty even though their schemes are not new in the least.<BR/><BR/>What we believe is that by looking back we can move forward. By taking what worked both for the economy and the for soul of the human being should be applied. That doesn't mean 'turning back the clock' but it certainly means reaping the benefits of "the democracy of the dead."Richard Alemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05272016770106926094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-88132251288385135752009-02-14T17:31:00.000-06:002009-02-14T17:31:00.000-06:00I just wanted to say that I've added this blog to ...I just wanted to say that I've added this blog to my reading every week. I find it interesting that many blogs I've read,from this one, Kevin Carson's Mutualists.Org to John Robb's Global Guerillas seem to be converging on the observation that our present multinational, managerial,corporatist economy is unsustainable and as Robb notes very vulnerable(his posts on "resilient" localized economies as bulwarks against national emergencies,terrorist attacks etc. are very timely).<BR/> I'm currently reading William Grieder's One World, Ready or Not: The Manic Logic of Global Capitalism. His forecasting of some of the flaws that would emerge from the new globalist system was accurate for having published the book over ten years ago.<BR/> I'm not formally educated in economics but the posts here have been very informative in addressing current events and subjects like Austrian economics etc. From reading blogs like this, my friends can't seem to figure if I'm a liberal or a conservative!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-64099723227776710592009-02-14T13:04:00.000-06:002009-02-14T13:04:00.000-06:00Viking, you got it correctly; it rhymes with Versa...Viking, you got it correctly; it rhymes with Versailles. As I explain to my classes, the "l's" are silent, are silent and are only there to confuse the English; all of French linguistic policy is based on confusing the English and the Germans.<BR/><BR/>The English retaliate with the silent e. The Germans retaliate by speaking German.John Médaillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463267750952578888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-65119655243833108342009-02-14T12:41:00.000-06:002009-02-14T12:41:00.000-06:00John, since you mentioned it, how IS your name pro...John, since you mentioned it, how IS your name pronounced? Is it "may-DYE" or "may-DAY" or what? (I suspect the first, as that rhymes with the similarly spelled "Versailles", at least as I've always heard it pronounced. And wasn't it sweet of me to suggest coloring rather than mortality on that first one?!) Your previous suggestion that if you just disregard the "ll", you'd be fine, left me still ignorant. So thought I'd ask.<BR/><BR/>Happy Valentine's Day to all you ladies who so look forward to it, and to the gents as well who are roped - I mean, are happy to share it with them!<BR/><BR/>VikingVikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660688426762417651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-81859923702139948442009-02-13T17:06:00.000-06:002009-02-13T17:06:00.000-06:00Kara, try to get them to spell the name right; the...Kara, try to get them to spell the name right; there's an accent on the first "e".
