Comments

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Make no mistake, RGH is the poster boy for scum bag bankster corruption. R-money is owned by the worst our society can spew. There are many many others, but R-money will try to sell this guy as an "impartial academic" even though the contravening facts are available in 10 seconds of research by your 6 yo niece.

Post-truth, post-fact America is not a pretty place.

Just to refresh everyone"s memory: this is the economist who was interviewed on "Inside Job"; who, when asked about his own bought status, shouted "This is not a deposition!" and ended the interview.

There seems to be blinders about the swindlers around Romney. Snake oil salesmen, dippers into other's money, Goldman Saks executives, real criminals who robbed us and some how, with a back hander to the Democrats, slithered away, loaded. What is this man doing out of jail?

Running for ruining.

An Alternative to Capitalism (since we cannot legislate morality)

Several decades ago, Margaret Thatcher claimed: "There is no alternative". She was referring to capitalism. Today, this negative attitude still persists.

I would like to offer an alternative to capitalism for the American people to consider. Please click on the following link. It will take you to an essay titled: "Home of the Brave?" which was published by the Athenaeum Library of Philosophy:
