It would seem to me then that what you have laid out here points more to a corrupt system of authoritative power, not the failings of free people making free/voluntary associations. Why then do you blend capitalism and free trade into your diagnosis? Is it possible that while some of the rise...

I think you are on the right track, but I don't think the problems lie in just one regulation. Repealing specific laws and regulations to solve these problems is like clipping the top inch off a weed without paying any attention to the growing environment and root structure, and expecting the...

It seems like you think free trade, capitalism, and the economy are things that were inflicted upon society rather than an evolutionary result of a relatively free society. I could be wrong. Let me know.

False. Dichotomy.

OP, I think you are possibly presenting a false dichotomy (asking the wrong questions in other words). I think the better question to ask is, why is there is such a lack of competitiveness in not only the insurance industry, but also the health/medical industry? I think the foundational system...

I don't think people are emotionally attached to money; I think people are emotionally attached to the stability that currency brings. It seems that the less money you have, the more emotionally charged you become over money (financial insecurity is a leading cause for divorce, more poor people...

You can just hear the politician's snarky justification of this law, "Well if these pipes are really being sold as tobacco pipes, then let's force these business owners to prove that their clientelle are mostly interested in tobacco products!". It is entirely consistent with the cultural belief...

Do you think that narcissism, sadism and the hunger for power will always be personality traits that a fairly constant percentage of humans will have the capacity for?

Who is in control and why are they in control? Just curious.

This is my first week of Overdrive too. Heads up... I've heard that camera pics have sensitive information embedded in them, so careful posting those anyway.

Smokedup, you don't ever top your plants in a full Producer do you? I think if I did, I would feel much better about trimming up all the lower branches. I'm glad I didn't cut them all off on this grow. I have one plant with at least three secondary colas that are about 60% the size of the top...

There will always be people with different values and opinions, but there is a certain class of people in society who are willing to trade their vote to a politician in exchange for the politician enforcing these people's values and opinions on others through the use of coercive force. "Smoking...

You are still my favorite poster Rob Roy... not sure if I've ever told you that. :hug:

It really is mind bending. What a shame.

Nope, just let them grow a single cola. Not sure how topping would work in this setup if it were full, to be honest. It gets kinda crammed in there.

I have not had any major problems with the setup. Any problems I've had have been minor (damage to a light brace in shipping, faulty filter, faulty co2 regulator), all which the company has quickly taken care of for me. The only thing I've modified on the Producer is to add an additional airpump...

Sweet! Welcome aboard!

Day 34 Flowering Flowers are getting bigger. My co2 regulator is on the way from BCNL, so I should still be able to at least get a late start.

This sounds like a good idea, but I don't know how realistic it is to maneuver that resevior with all the weight of the water inside, unless you had a wet vac to suck out the water that the pump doesn't reach. I'd have to think about this one...

My sprout rate was not so great this time around, 13 out of 19. Not sure if that had to do with the clone dome or not. The carbon filter removes all the smell for me.
