He didn't. He did correspond with Americans though.

By the way, Sam Adams is Revered to day as a brewer--although, in fact he wasn't. However, his father was a malster, and a malster produces malt from barley for use in brewing beer. But i'm sure you'll think the iditoic bigotry of you boy Adam Smith trumps that . . .

Why not? Americans know no more about America than birds know about ornithology either.

farmerman - if you're serious about making biodiesel and having an employee do the work, you may be setting yourself up for some serious liability issues, particularly if your employee is merely following a recipe without an understanding of what he is doing. These "garage batch" operations can be very ugly in terms of safety and waste disposal.


J**** alice woman, what on earth has biodiesel got to do with this topic, you only have to refer to the title.......uh oh

you are correct. It is a serious matter.

This attitude on the part of English mill workers was not a mere epidode, either. In the late 1920's, Ghandi called for a boycott of English goods, and especially, this affected the mill workers, as Ghandi took a loom to weave cloth at home--the loss of the revenues from the boycott of English cotton goods worked a substantial hardship on the millworkers.

Nevertheless, when Ghandi visited England in 1930, he was enthusiastically greeted by the millworkers of Lancashire, who were impressed with his sincerity, and lent their support to his movement for Indian independence.

thanks for that Set. My great aunt Ethel is carring the basket on the right. (she was a Bolshevik). Her Yorkshire puddings were magnificent. Or so great uncle Albert used to say.

Careful Thomas, It's dangerous and sometimes painful (and occasionally very illuminating) to argue with Setanta. When you open the floodgates there is no telling what may spill out - a deluge of minutia, some interesting rifs on related subjects, the occasional superior argument and factual foundation, high intensity irritability & vituperation, etc. It's an exhilirating ride, but often not a comfortable one.

Its a little more bearable if you cinch up the harness real tight and inflate the bladders. Keeping your head sorta tucked down and pressed tight against the seatback helps some too, as does locking your gaze on some external fixed point. Don't fixate on the target though; you never wanna lose track of what's happening on your 6.

Well, more like Fox One - which sorta goes with "Talley Ho!", which could imply horses - but certainly not donkeys - and beagles (and Pinks and French Horns, too - but I digress), which could lead us to the vessel on which Darwin sailed during his epic voyage ... oh, well ... Galapagosing right along here, strewing esoterica and stream-of-twisted-consciousness hither, thither, and yon, we see some begin to yawn, perceiving this thread to be running out of fuel - time to head back to the biodiesel pump, I guess.

That's not for me to judge George.It's pretty smooth from here.I can distinguish primary from secondary drives.

I did a much longer answer but I've thought better of it.I do bear in mind young readers on here.

But I'll go this far:one can distinguish natural strivings for happiness from the secondary drives and especially the antisocial aspects of them which are the result of compulsive education.These latter can only be inhibited by morality and because evolution has nothing to say on that I am inevitably driven into the Intelligent Design camp despite the ridiculous claims of some I find there if only because it seems a more humane approach than the only other alternative which is state terror.The general intolerance of the evolutionists is already quite evident.They thrive on ignoring the social functions of religion as can be seen by their failure to address any of my salient points on the matter.They do not seem able to appreciate that science is concerned with what is and that social pragmatism is concerned with what ought to be.The idea of an evolutionist being opposed to price gouging or porn or brawling seems quaint to say the least.Their credo is let the devil take the hindmost.What use has an evolutionist for constitutions and laws and customs when he believes in the survival of the fittest which is precisely what constitutions,laws and customs are designed to mitigate.

Masterful synthesis of false dichotomy, mischaracterization, misapprehension, projection, defensiveness, undefined premises, fear, suspicion, superstition, and all around intellectual tap dancing there, spendi - a veritable Broadway-worthy rendition of sophistry and empty rhetoric, delivered with a well-done air of heartfelt emotion and sincerity. I really like the non sequiturial way you managed to merge that outta-nowhere irrelevancy into the discussion. I think that may just be the broadest digression anyone's offered since this thread hit the skids. Applause and accolades surely are your due.

Thank you timber.

Your pile of assertions is well chosen too apart from the "fear".

But I did suggest earlier which country to set up your Biodeisel plant as a tax avoidance scheme.I cannot imagine Biodeisel being an economic proposition without the distortions of tax.

That seems a pretty clear exposition Spendi, dont know why some find that difficult to take on board.

If you say evolutionary theory is not enough, then I agree. I accept Darwins basic theory, not because it makes God redundant, but because it actually explains whats going on. But just because I'm an evolutionist it doesnt mean I want to live in a jungle society. I think its quite possible that evolutionary pressures account for sentiments such as sorrow, altruism, even justice. As well as competing with each other for scarce resources, we have developed a complex system of rules and laws which you could describe as mitigating against the jungle laws of evolution. Oh hell I dont know what I'm talking about here, where's Jane when you need her?

Thanks Spendi
