Though I've only dabbled in it myself I've read quite a bit about buying what they call "junk silver", which is old coins that have no collectible value but have a high silver content (pre-1960s dimes, etc.). This is convenient because you can find them locally in coin shops and shows or you can buy them in bulk on eBay and still come

I don't accept your premise that states massively undermine markets. It is not necessarily true that markets will be more prevalent in the absence of a state, as there is no guarantee that property rights would be enforced to the extent that they are now. The only function the state has in relation to the market is to interfere/undermine/confuse

I read an interview with the designers of the new game, Deux Ex: Human Revolution, that confirmed that you will be able to go through the entire game without killing anyone, which is a big plus for me because I love gaming but I'm pretty terrible at combat.

I'm a big fan of Civ IV, although the political options are pretty much a joke and definitely do not hold up to Austrian analysis, it's still a fun and addictive game. The critiques of the some of the game options that I saw on the forums here were great, love the application of AE to games and pop culture. I got Civ V as a gift but have yet

Thanks for the clarification! I always get it mixed up, even though I've got the book on my harddrive. I actually hadn't seen the video to it, that's awesome! I was only considering coloring it in page by page in my spare time, probably just uploading them to my flickr page or a blog possibly. Who knows if I'll have time to complete

I'm thinking about coloring in the 'How An Economy Grows and Why It Crashes' comic by Peter & Andrew Schiff, here's my test of the first page and a little meme image I made with it. :)

Some of my favorite artists: Interpol, The Presets, David Fonseca, Tegan and Sara, Modest Mouse, Scissor Sisters, MuteMath, Zoot Woman, Peter Gabriel, Radiohead, plus dozens more. I'm a music addict and I get a couple new albums every month, but I'm still quite picky about what I like. New additions to my collection: Home Video, Phantom Planet

I joined the forum since it looked interesting anyway (and coincidentally I'm an INTJ) so I'm here for backup, Arcanist. I hope you don't give up, I think we can pin them with the forgotten man and their faulty tariff theories. Here's what I posted: Her: Did you miss the part about how the "cheap products" are foreign products
