Cornell West is too old to be a digital clock... LOL

I disagree.
The problem is not the market driven economy.
I don't believe in fixed prices, a market should be a place where demand an supply should meet.
The problem is that it is not a free market for everyone.
Although they claim it is.
A FREE market would give everyone an equal chance 2 earn their living.

A dead clock is right 2 times a day. And in this case this clock is right on in this area. Plus, I'm not saying government is the solution either. The solution is the community, it's people. It's local government who represent their neighbors and know their neighbors. I'd argue that the federal government is to big to be effective, but there needs to be some sort of localized government in which people come together, talk police and law, talk education and schools, talk local fire. This is at the heart of society. Markets are a-moral and they don't look at what's best for communities. They look out for what's best for money, and money does not care about people.

either this is a new revelation for you, or you dont believe this. you voted for obama and hes not about having local decisions hes about decisions at the federal level 100%. im not an anarchist, im a libertarian and i think that most decisions should be made at the very very local level. IE why should politicians from san fran and LA be making the decisions that rule my life. and thats not even counting the ones in DC, they shouldnt be touching education etc etc. theyre actually ruining education one law/regulation/oversight at a time, but thats just one example.

but my point is, and this is my issue with your politics really, that obamas whole philosophy is govt driven solutions. he says it, and thats what hes been about. so again, either you just found this philosophy or you dont really believe it.
