“Brain structure differs in liberals, conservatives: study”
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/04/07/brain-structure-differs-in-liberals-conservatives-study/
Here’s one quote from it:
Le Master-
Old News, flawed study.
Utter Moron, “You have those who believe in states’ rights and those who believe in a more perfect union. States’ right are anti-civil rights, anti-workers’ right to bargain, anti-social justice, pro-rich and significantly insensitive to poor people — that was the great divide 150 years ago and it’s the great divide today in the ideological sense.”
Moron? No, it’s brilliant class warfare.
Understanding complexity, lol. I’d like to see a few “liberals” who understand elementary market pricing before I take any of their self-congratulation about having bigger brains seriously.

I dunno, I think he really believes that states’ rights is “against” civil liberties.
I doubt he actually believes it, that kind of rhetoric just works with a certain segment of the population. He got a nice scam and earns a lot of money. I can follow his logic though. He thinks thinks civil liberties are imposed by the federal government. So being for states rights or individual liberty is anti civil liberties. Meaning he’s a nationalist and a socialist; these people are literally national socialists.

Workers destroy a Lamborghini Gallardo L140 luxury sports car to mark World Consumer Rights Day in Qingdao, eastern China’s Shandong province on March 15, 2011. The car’s owner hired people to publicly destroy the vehicle when it failed to function after a service by an official Lamborghini service station. The protest was made to provoke public support and goad the manufacturer to respect his consumer rights.CHINA OUT AFP PHOTO

"The protest was made to provoke public support and goad the manufacturer to respect his consumer rights."
Not sure if that is very accurate. I remember reading something quite different awhile ago about it.
They were screwing him around or something, so he decided to do that to send a message / get revenge on them (negative publicity?)
Within his rights obviously… I guess he values the feeling of ‘revenge’ more than the car… haha.

Spontaneous Order and the Market Process (by Steve Horwitz)
Have any of you seen this before?
PATENTS: If people had understood how patents would be granted when most
of today’s ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry
would be at a complete standstill today. I feel certain that some large
company will patent some obvious thing related to interface, object orientation,
algorithm, application extension or other crucial technique. If we assume this
company has no need of any of our patents then the have a 17-year right to take
as much of our profits as they want. The solution to this is patent exchanges
with large companies and patenting as much as we can. Amazingly we havn’t
done any patent exchanges tha I am aware of. Amazingly we havn’t found a
way to use our licensing position to avoid having our own customers cause
patent problems for us. I know these aren’t simply problems but they deserve
more effort by both Legal and other groups. For example we need to do a
patent exchange with HP as part of our new relationship. In many application
categories straighforward thinking ahead allows you to come up with
patentable ideas. A recent paper from the League for Programming Freedom
(available from the Legal department) explains some problems with the
way patents are applied to software.
