| [accordingtohoyt] The last century hasn’t actually brought about great "scientific" improvements in governance or the condition of man. It has brought about better production and better commerce, which was enough to stop the periodic famines which plagued our ancestors. Famines and scarcity subsist only where pernicious central governments stomp on human liberty and individual freedom. And they need to stomp pretty hard. We haven’t managed it. But there are rumors out of China and Venezuela. And of course Russia managed it, just as they did the near-starvation of "never quite enough." However, all those advances in material culture didn’t bring about similar advances in centralizing government and "sculpting" the new man. Humans remain human. And the more centralized, over a larger area, that government is, the more inefficient it is. Even — fortunately — at creating misery. Government that requires certain results gets certain results reported. Even if they have nothing to do with reality. Sure, the Soviets didn’t have nearly our nuclear arsenal. But the people at the top there MIGHT very well have thought they did, at least after a while. Because the underlings had to report it was done. or else. All of you repeating the nonsense about boiled frogs, and how their sloooooowwww plan has worked perfectly are just buying into the same juvenile, retarded lie. NONE of their plans ever worked perfectly. Their history is littered with five year plans that worked only in someone’s imagination. So why would their plans work better in a far away place they never fully understood? With a people who are notoriously averse to obeying? Of course they didn’t. They don’t. You can convince yourself they have, particularly if you listen to the left and ignore all the times they got stomped on, got smacked, got their cookies taken away. Read the rest at the link |

| #4 The problem is they keep thinking they’re masterminds. Like most other 'Master Criminals', I believe. |

| #2 I guess I'll have to go back to my predictions ball. It's in the stars you know. Now where did I leave my rabbits foot?. My favorite future predictor was AL Gore. |

#1 Their history is littered with five year plans that worked only in someone’s imagination. Something similar applies to the "expert" predictions of short and long term changes. Looking back over 70+ years of such predictions I can recall, virtually none came true. |
