Just to give another view-- - Landed gentry- do nothing for their money, just collect rents from farmers , unlike industrialists who create a manufacturing business, or financiers who identify promising businesses and risk their capital investing in them them. - Merchant seafarers - liberals today would call them 'globalizers', buying goods for very low prices where labor is very cheap and selling them for huge profits elsewhere. in reference to: "Both the Roosevelts and the Delanos were prosperous merchant families who had derived much of their fortunes from seafaring. As a landowner with a Hudson River estate, a man from a family that moved easily in the Edith Wharton universe of Knickerbocker society, Roosevelt approached economic problems with different preconceptions from those of the industrialist or the financier on the make." - The FDR Years: On Roosevelt and His Legacy ( view on Google Sidewiki )

He was skillful handling them, practiced Dale Carnegie techniques to get them on his side, genuinely good to them in giving them stories. If reporters were 60 percent for the New Deal, Clapper reckoned, they were 90 percent for Roosevelt personally.[36] Nothing wrong with what he did, but the result was far from an adversarial relationship with power that the press today says is proper. in reference to: The FDR Years: On Roosevelt and His Legacy ( view on Google Sidewiki )

Key quality was optimism. in reference to: "On the centennial of FDR's birth, George Will wrote: Anyone who contemplates this century without shivering probably does not understand what is going on. But Franklin Roosevelt was, an aide said, like the fairy-tale prince who did not know how to shiver. Something was missing in FDR. ...But what FDR lacked made him great. He lacked the capacity even to imagine that things might end up badly." - The FDR Years: On Roosevelt and His Legacy ( view on Google Sidewiki )

OAS body raises concerns over Jamaica as death toll rises - CNN.com "Case law of the Inter-American System of Human Rights has made it clear that agents of the State have the obligation to enforce the law and maintain order even when the process involves, in some cases, death or bodily injury as a result of the proportional use of force. "Furthermore, the force used must not be excessive. When excessive force is used, personal integrity is not respected, and all loss of life that results is arbitrary. The IACHR urges the State of Jamaica to adopt all necessary measures to guarantee the right to life, integrity, and security of all persons."

As long as you are in a separate country from the Greeks or French. If you are in the same country, the majority can vote to take your money for their own use. Watch out for 'ever closer union'. in reference to: "In the long term, you cannot operate against the markets (because you need their money), they just evaluate how you work and then decide whether tehy should trust you with their investment." - The euro crisis: Europe's 750 billion euro bazooka | The Economist ( view on Google Sidewiki )

I like France and I am a big fan if the German-French "axis" (part of my family is french). But in some policy fields, we simply disagree - first and foremost economic policy. And as long a France doesn't deliver significantly better results than e.g. Germany (and it never has), we will rather follow our own model than yours. 2. "Self-centered" are a) those who live beyond their means and expect those who don't to subsidy them and, worse, b) those countries that join a Union, break the rules on purpose and in the end expect those whose trust they broke to bail them out. 3. So France has more "the sense of the world realities than Germany"? Very funny!

Interesting article . He manages to say nothing bad about Greece, Europe, the Euro. The only bad things he says are the United States, George Bush, and especially Bush's tax cut. He says vaguely that Greek costs and prices got far out of line. The cost of what? Olive oil? Or labor? You don't have to be super-conservative to see that Greece shows that unions and government benefits CAN go too far. in reference to: "During the good years, when capital was flooding in, Greek costs and prices got far out of line with the rest of Europe. If Greece still had its own currency, it could restore competitiveness through devaluation" - Op-Ed Columnist - We’re Not Greece - NYTimes.com ( view on Google Sidewiki )
