A Cajun-Asian View

Interesting cartoon that does some explanation of how the money system works. It does, though, seem to imply that there's a grand conspiracy by banks and governments, and only time will tell if the theory that the expanding debt will eventually result in a collapse is true.

This article seems to try to address myths and unknowns of the banks and federal monetary system, some of which might be in the video. I'll have to read more on this before I really solidify my own thoughts on it all.

I know I have temper issues. But this comment on Balloon Juice really got my blood boiling (Emphasis, mine):

No Rome, it’s not just you who hates Christianity, it’s most of the left. You’re in good company. Louder now freaks, I can’t hear you!

I'll argue with just about any extreme "leftist", but if I had heard this statement within earshot, my first inclination would be to send a fist into the speaker's jaw for such an asinine statement. I may not agree with them, but I know this is far from the truth about the type of people who make up the "left".

I know it shouldn't bother me, especially since this commenter is probably just a troll on that blog. But it's his presence there does more damage to the "right"'s image than anything anybody from the opposite spectrum can do. Which makes me think that he's a spoof at times.
