    According to Stalin, all that was required was an expansion in the size of the game...not a new one. Probably had something to do with Joe's love of statistics....

    I thought the "one death is a tragedy, one million a statistic" was his line? Numerous quotes sources claim it so.

    Uncertain. The context even more so.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Old Joe was plenty resourceful in the department of creating statistics, just like his old buddy Adolf and his cronies, but now come to think of it. Has any ism ever died out or been forgotten completely? This is big time thread derailing, which Beskie or Prole will most likely smack yours truly, but maybe someone has knowledge of such?

    Wat?

    Aren't the teabaggers supposed to be opposed to government intervention in economics? How can they support a system based on tariffs and government regulation of goods?

    Actually, a fair number of them are pro-tariff. Tariffs ARE part of the original Constitutional taxation power for the Feds. Some of them are even recycled Buchanan Brigaderos who are fine with out-and-out protectionism.

    The TEA crowd loathe the 16th amendment and the advent of the direct federal income tax.

    Yes, i admit that the "mercantilism" bit was exaggeration.
