No, but I do have an on switch and if you flip it the other way it would either turn me off or cause a strobe effect.

I would like for once to see something other than this persona you've got going on.

This isn't a persona. At least, I'm not consciously acting any differently in general than I ever have.

It so is a persona. In real-life you're an introvert, correct? Probably very soft-spoken and verbally succint.

Here, you become verbose and frequently use high-functioning literary devices or dry, candid humor.

Thus, a persona.

I'm an introvert only around those with whom I am uncomfortable/unfamiliar.
My real life friends are perfectly used to my highfalutin verbiage and cutting wit; in fact, on occasions when I've been blue and failed to deliver some pithy bit of humor, they've become concerned.

You sound like Doctor Who. But like I always say, whatever glories your hole.

A coal mine doesn't have to pay the cost when people near the mine are 50% more likely to die of cancer. They suffer alone. The mine moves on, the spillage breaks loose, maybe the mine catches fire and burns for 200 years. If they're caught they file for bankruptcy. Oil magnates don't have to pony up when they destroy ecosystems with spills massive enough that we might never understand their full impact. The money it costs to contain the spill is about what they receive in subsidies every year. Wal mart doesn't have to pay the cost when its workers don't make enough money to feed themselves. The CEO of hostess doesn't have to personally pay back the $50 million he stole from their pension fund, or repay the amount of salaried pay they lost(a cut of about 30% over 5-6 years.)

Steve Jobs didn't have to pay a living wage to his "employees" in asia. Clothing companies didn't have to pay a living wage to their "employees" either, that money was apparently better spent on nets to make sure they couldn't kill themselves to avoid one more day of torture locked in a factory for 16 hour shifts.

The Corn Industry won't be the ones footing the bill when we're all out of rainforest and all out of time and tens of millions of people are starving to death in shifting global famines. It's plain and simple theft. It was theft before this became apparent, when going back through time these people took and held on to unearned privilege and disproportionate shares of social wealth with no regard for the cost to others.

If you don't want to know, you don't have to find out, but holding blindly to an ideological position when lives are at stake and billions of people are suffering every day is pretty asinine in my book.

Yeah, think I will listen to Adam Smith, Ludwig Von Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard for my economic views, cause they were all geniuses and had degrees in economics, and proven to be right.

All have a fundamentally flawed perspective. I mean, yeah, you can let other people think for you and never take a step back from the carefully framed view that is most convenient, I'm sure that's easier, but I know for a fact it feels much better to take responsibility for what you do and what you're a part of.

An economy is a system for the distribution of resources. It is not some magical fairy that must be carefully guarded and left alone. It is not something that really exists. It's a method, and nothing more. There is no purpose to it other than to maximize the general welfare of everyone, and if it is not doing that, it has no place in the toolchest. It's not inherent, it's not existent, it's entirely within our own minds, and has to be perpetuated every day to still "exist."

Keeping an economy in place that does not improve anything and does in fact make things worse is like refusing to balance an engine. Eventually you'll throw a rod, and then you might not be able to salvage the car.

Eh, I guess some people aren't ready to be their own people yet. I hope you do soon. The more individuals the better.

I am my own person, that is why I decided what economic model is the best, just because you do not like it does not mean I am not my own person thanks, so do not be judgemental.

So sick of the concept of ideology. Dogma is a pain in the ass because it's a prescription for thoughtlessness. I'd like for all of us to throw away any and every label we've ever applied to ourselves, and never touch another one. Then we might be able to understand things better.

But that would not be appropriate in my case I would guess. One has to be reasonable.
