If only there was someone claiming I don't know what I'm talking about who's smart enough to prove it. Contrarian noise echoing off these boards only induces melancholic dreaming and more mythology.

Here's a start.

Tom Woods? That's what you got.....a fucking waste of time? Revisionist economics is as worthless as douche water, even more pathetic than revisionist history. Here's a hint for believing anything thrown that sticks to the wall: "(forget the historians, who are clueless)".

I expected nothing less than an ad hominem response and you delivered right on queue.

What do you have besides 11th grade text book history? Brought to you by the government. Think a little deeper, read past what your government puppet masters are telling you on an attempt to control you. I realize you have many years of indoctrination under your belt, but there is still hope.

And no, Tom Woods isn't all I got....your option on WWII and the depression have been disproven over and over by the many of the greatest economic minds in the world.

What do you have to bring to the table...other than throw shit out , without citation or facts to back it up, then then simply counter with an ad hominem attack? If you're looking for something to comeback with, I guess you could find some Paul Krugman material to link.

I've studied American and World history as a hobby my entire life and there's no purpose or need for proving anything to those of you who get your history and economics from radical right (or left) wing revisionist liars on the Internet.

Interesting...I feel the same way about you....

You have no need to "prove" anything because you have studied and assume others are listening to the radical? You forgot the part where your comeback is "Is that what Fox/MSNBC told you? Excellent.

Your use of politically charged and inflammatory rhetoric leads me to believe you don't want to understand the issues at hand, but have made preconceived decisions based on some personal trauma in your life, and have directed your "studies' to those that would support the position you have already formed.

Many of us have read Mein Kempf and understand how the government can easily manipulate the weak minded and fearful. I would also add the "Marx- Engles Reader", "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money " to your list....but don't forget to add "Capitalism and Freedom" as well as many of the great works by Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and Ludwig von Mises.... (all of these works are pre internet!)

But I doubt you take the time to challenge yourself in that way. after the government has already completed their work with you and you seem to be pretty content with that.

(I also recommend reading more Krugman...he's much more than you claim, in fact you agree with much of his thoughts)

Good day sir.
