  I'm supporting Charlie here, but I would also add there is a very good economic case for Scottish Independence. Even since Thatcher smashed the unions, the main fault line in economic interest in Britain has been between the manufacturing interests...
• Commented on A Quick Infomercial
  RE: Charlie's comments on Independent article. I gave the article a quick once over and it has that smell of the smug bullshit that the Economist would do about any country that elected a vaguely leftwing government. (Their predictions were...
• Commented on What happens now?
  From the US:-Enough about us, lets talk about you. I read this article https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2021/01/brexit-wheels-coming-off.html and I'd be interested in our host's thoughts on it as well those domiciled Old Blight as well as how Brexit is affecting them personally. We...
• Commented on What happens now?
  My thoughts on the Trump mob shenanigans in the halls of Congress: I listened to a rightwing talk show host Trump's speech on the mall, and he did not say anything specific about a violent storming of Congress. What get...
• Commented on Countdown to Crazy
  My prediction for Trump if he looses is that he will get no real help from the Republican party or the Supreme Court. Oh, there'll be a lot of sturm and drang about how he was robbed. A sense of...
• Commented on What can possibly go wrong?
  Let me reply to your points: Speaking as an old hippy, they ranged from left wing political to anarchist. They were never pro-capitalist. I agree with you that hippies were never pro-capitalist, but they were anti-government and so were the...
• Commented on What can possibly go wrong?
  I think I can shed a little light on how Libertarians became Alt-right supporters having mingled with Southern Californian Libertarians for most of my life. (In the late 80s, I went to parties that had a mixture of Libertarians, Socialists...
• Commented on Paging Agent 007
  "Inference: humans are the least intelligent viable species that can support a self-extending culture. A mass of grey stupid trailing in the wake of randomly-distributed sparks of brilliance." You have made an excellent argument for genetic enhancement of human intelligence....

• Commented on Science-fictional shibboleths
  Before you get too apocalyptic about the big one in Los Angeles, remember it's a big place. The closest the city center is to the San Andreas fault is 50 miles and the port is 80 miles away. The freeway...
• Commented on The Evil Business Plan of Evil (and misery for all)
  Charlie @100 I don't understand how that would work. Are you going to test the trash in the public trash cans using RDIF tags to see where it came from? And prosecute everyone who puts the wrong trash in the...
• Commented on The Evil Business Plan of Evil (and misery for all)
  Charlie, What is to stop me calling up your trash company and explaining to them that I'm on a indefinite holiday to Europe and discontinue pick-up, or I just stop paying my trash bill then I dump all my trash...
• Commented on A different cluetrain
  I think in terms of economics, the 21st century is going to look like a bad film, the type where there is a lot of conflict and action before the protagonist triumphs over the problem in the end, but the...
• Commented on Inbound maintenance!
  Charlie, because your site was so simple, I have gotten into the habit of accessing it with my old computer running IE5. Naturally, with such an old browser, stange things happen on a lot of sites, but yours has a...
