Economic Myths

Economic Myths
"The Olympian gods" Nicolas-André Monsiau (1754–1837) Mainstream economists and so-called experts have filled the minds of most Americans with many economic myths that are constantly reinforced by the media and repeated on the streets. These myths are erroneous at best, sometimes based on half truths. The majority of them are just false. Inflation and Energy Myths Inflation — or, rather, the general rise in prices[1] —and the increase in energy prices are issues that have always created numerous economic myths.The following are some of the most common ones. Myth # 1: "Dependence on Foreign Oil" This myth basically suggests that the problem with oil prices is due to America's "dependence" on foreign oil. The high price of oil has nothing to do with its origin; the price of oil is determined in international markets. Importing a product does not mean you "depend" on it. Myth # 2: "Inflation is caused by rising oil prices." False. At first this myth might seem true. Consumption Myths False. Note

Repeal the Drinking Age - Jeffrey A. Tucker Somehow, and no one seems to even imagine how, this country managed to survive and thrive before 1984 without a national minimum drinking age. Before that, the drinking question was left to the states. In the 19th century, and looking back even before — prepare yourself to imagine horrific anarchistic nightmares — there were no drinking laws anywhere, so far as anyone can tell. Really, it is only because we are somehow used to it that we accept the complete absurdity of a national law that prohibits the sale of beer, wine, and liquor to anyone under the age of 21. And yet every day, young people are finding ways around these preposterous restrictions that are hardly ever questioned, imbibing with their booze a disdain for the law and a creative spirit of criminality, along with a disposition to binge drink when their legal workarounds succeed. On college campuses, the industry of the fake ID thrives as never before. But the habit of prohibition was already ingrained.

Nearly all my professors are Democrats. Isn't that a problem? - News - Students For Academic Freedom Nearly all my professors are Democrats. Isn't that a problem? · 15 July 2009 By Dan Lawton - Christian Science Monitor EUGENE, ORE. – When I began examining the political affiliation of faculty at the University of Oregon, the lone conservative professor I spoke with cautioned that I would “make a lot of people unhappy.” Though I mostly brushed off his warning – assuming that academia would be interested in such discourse – I was careful to frame my research for a column for the school newspaper diplomatically. The University of Oregon (UO), where I study journalism, invested millions annually in a diversity program that explicitly included “political affiliation” as a component. A number of conservative students told me they felt Republican ideas were frequently caricatured and rarely presented fairly. In my column, published in the campus newspaper The Oregon Daily Emerald June 1, I suggested that such a disparity hurt UO. Instead, he reiterated them on the record.

handwriting tips You’ve decided you want to improve your handwriting and you’re probably hoping a fountain pen will do the trick -- maybe a friend told you it would. Maybe you’re just adventurous and you want to try your hand at calligraphy (or you might, once your handwriting improves). Good for you! A fountain pen may make your writing look a bit better, but if your writing looks as if frenzied chickens got loose on the page, chances are this won’t be enough. Most likely, you’ll need to retrain your arm and hand. After coaching handwriting and teaching calligraphy over the years, I’ve learned to see the characteristics of those who’ll be able to pick up the necessary motions quickly from those who’ll have to work a bit harder. Crampy, uneven letters are often the result of drawing the letters with the fingers rather than using the whole arm to write. People who inevitably have trouble with handwriting and calligraphy write with their fingers. It will take time to re-train muscles and learn new habits.

Who We Are posted at 4:57 pm on August 5, 2009 by Doctor Zero There seems to be a bit of confusion among Democrats about the nature of the opposition to their plans. Maybe I can help clear things up, by telling them a few things about us. We’re not paid minions of any corporate interest or lobby. Most bloggers working to stop the Obama health-care disaster are like me, writing when they can find the time, because we care about the future of our country. The same is true of the people showing up at town hall meetings, and organizing rallies. Our support for a massive government program does not increase when you tell us we’re not allowed to ask questions about it. We’re not racists. We don’t like having to fight desperate battles to save our freedom and future from socialist politicians every ten or twenty years. We believe government should be punished for failing to live up to the expectations of its citizens, not the other way around. We don’t invest our hopes in the government.

Memory Improvement © VeerPRZEMYSLAW PRZYBYLSKI Use these techniques to improve your memory. The tools in this section help you to improve your memory. They help you both to remember facts accurately and to remember the structure of information. The tools are split into two sections. Firstly you'll learn the memory techniques themselves. As with other mind tools, the more practice you give yourself with these techniques, the more effectively you will use them. Mnemonics 'Mnemonic' is another word for memory tool. The idea behind using mnemonics is to encode difficult-to-remember information in a way that is much easier to remember. Our brains evolved to code and interpret complex stimuli such as images, colors, structures, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, positions, emotions and language. Unfortunately, a lot of the information we have to remember in modern life is presented differently – as words printed on a page. Using Your Whole Mind to Remember Use positive, pleasant images.

Prepare to question everything. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. The Second American Revolution Countdown Introduction Do you sense that something is wrong in America these days? Our Founders would cry if they could see this taking place! I say this with deepest regret and with utmost reverence for what our Founding Fathers created in these United States of America. Revolution… How many times have you heard that word used? We are witnessing the literal death of our Republic, one that can come in less than 2 years. I do not say these words lightly. In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Maybe, just maybe, enough people will print this out, and talk to their friends. We have set the stage for a criminal administration.
