http://www.counterpunch.org/ Every year the Department of Defense churns out more than 750,000 tons of hazardous waste -- more than the top three chemical companies combined. Yet the military remains largely exempt from compliance with most federal and state environmental laws, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Pentagon's partner in crime, is working hard to keep it that way. For the past five decades the federal government, defense contractors and the chemical industry have joined forces to block public health protections against perchlorate, a component of rocket fuel that has been shown to effect children's growth and mental progress by disrupting the function of the thyroid gland the federal government has been complacent and allowed perchlorate to run rampant throughout our water supplies. This negligence and lack of regulatory oversight has left the Pentagon, NASA and defense contractors free to set their own levels, trimming the high, but necessary costs of restoring groundwater along the way. Which regulates brain development. When a site gets too polluted, the Pentagon has chosen simply to close it down and turn it over to another federal agency. Over the past three decades, the Pentagon has transferred more than 16 million acres, often with little or no remediation. The former bombing areas have been turned into wildlife refuges, city and state parks, golf courses, landfills, airports and shopping malls. People attack a free market for pollution, but free market economists view pollution as aggression the government is the one who said people can pollute for the greater good of society and set allowable limits. The limits should be up to the people being polluted not a Judge.

May 14, 2008 - you are justifying violence you know
AzraelsJudgement Says:
May 14, 2008 - Does not matter I am talking about economic theory which is sound and not talking about rhetoric of evil corporations we need to destroy freedom.
crazycatfguy Says:
May 14, 2008 - A sound theory (in your mind)is still a theory.
AzraelsJudgement Says:
May 14, 2008 - Okay then I will just beg on the door step of government, vote for Obama and not think outside the box. Right on got it.
AzraelsJudgement Says:
May 14, 2008 - I slam government on environment one is around. If I slammed free markets I would have like 1000 comments.
TheCZMan Says:
May 14, 2008 - On the contrary, on the contrary. As a guy who is interested in facts, this behaviour is much more interested than any other. I will never need a tissue for being right. And I know that currently in the West, people do not need tissues when they are wrong. They need tissues when their group is not strong enough to get their falsehoods down the people's throat.
TheCZMan Says:
May 14, 2008 - And that is interesting.
TheCZMan Says:
May 14, 2008 - You really need to support this claim because so far, it is proven that monopolies are the result of one thing: competition. As a capitalist, it is strange you bypass this established fact. Then you have a thesis to establish: corporate monopolies are created by government interference.
AzraelsJudgement Says:
May 14, 2008 - Falsehoods? I think you should be worried about keynesian economists shoving falsehoods down people's throats for decades which is causing financial collapse.
AzraelsJudgement Says:
May 14, 2008 - How can monopolies be created by competition???? That means there is more then one company lol.
TheCZMan Says:
May 14, 2008 - Actually, more than keynesian economists have been shoving falsehoods down people's throats for decades now. Most economists need their models to be reset by war to keep afloat.
TheCZMan Says:
May 14, 2008 - Monopoly is the final product of the competition process. The ultimate goal in competition is to end competition, to select one and only. Nothing new here.
AzraelsJudgement Says:
May 15, 2008 - Mises economists reject war because corporatist are the ones who need war not your average businessman.
AzraelsJudgement Says:
May 15, 2008 - Monopolies happen because of the brainwashed masses allowing the government to crush competition through mercantilism-corporatism and choose who to do business with.
TheCZMan Says:
May 15, 2008 - Well, wars do exist. And wars answer to economical needs. Economy is what spurs wars. Rejecting wars is not offering a thesis including wars as a factor in the thesis. On the contrary, denying it is a sign. Like an air flight engineer denying gravity. He wont get far. And will have easy escape when his models start to fail.
TheCZMan Says:
May 15, 2008 - You are very weird thoughts for a capitalist. From a capitalistic point of view, what creates monopolies (or oligopolies) is competition. Again the ultimate goal of competition is to select one and only, in other words, to put the winner in a position of monopoly. You should do an extensive series of vids to try to prove your point that monopolies are the result of government. Dont forget to send them to academics, you might win a Nobel in the process.
TheCZMan Says:
May 15, 2008 - I reply here: free trade includes the capability of not trading. Freedom of doing something includes freedom of not doing something. Freedom of speech includes the freedom of staying silent. What is described as protectionism is often the use of this part of freedom when it comes to the socalled free trade. Again, wars are much more related with competition than anything else you can think of.

May 31, 2008 - "Monopoly is the final product of the competition process." Not necessarily. Just look at Microsoft, competition from Apple & Linux is starting to put them on the edge. If anything, competition helps break down monopolies because now it forces that monopoly to put out a better product or die. It's the brainwashed people who buy only one brand and protectionism form the govt. that allows these monopolies to stay in place. Competition is a continuous cycle.
AzraelsJudgement Says:
Jun 1, 2008 - If people do not study economics and go by government history books they do not seem to understand this. I have studied free market economics for less then a year on my own and get this. If people would just study on their own.. Many seem for and against protectionism at the same time it is crazy. Economics is the most misunderstood topic because government controls education.

Jun 2, 2008 - You know all those work at home ads in your local paper that want you to send $25.00 to get supplies for stuffing envelopes.I'm a idiot yes , but when I called the BBB to report it.The lady on the phone said they didn't know of any of those that were legit and then I asked why they didn't stop it and there was a long pause and i said its the govt and still silence then i said the pentagon and she said you didn't here that from me!
AzraelsJudgement Says:
Jun 2, 2008 - I never heard that but it certainly wouldn't surprise me I mean the Pentagon is one of the biggest scam artists in our country!

Jun 25, 2008 - do the people in the government drink from a different water supply and eat food from a different food chain?
AzraelsJudgement Says:
Jun 25, 2008 - Do corporatists? It is about the money and top healthcare. I also assume they get the best for their money even though it is still tainted.
crazycatfguy Says:
May 13, 2008 - If corporations are the preferred business model now what about anarchy do you think would change that. Speaking of theories anarchy is a theory that is untested so neither one of us can be certain who is right. Reading other peoples theories does not make them true.
