ParticipantShe's holding a book or some writing, her pose and quality image make me think of a daguerr?otype image. However her face features seem a bit masculine : nose, chin, even haircut … What would be important for women's issue during the 19th century… ?? women's rights, murder case, spouse, … ???

ParticipantDidn't you ask for examples of government intervention successes ? You got them. I didn't want to cut this in thin slices otherwise it gonna be a neverending story again. 😉Nothing is simple, you have the pro and con's about government intervention, this has more to do with economical philosophies; each choice is rightful if all consequences are fully supported. (TMVHO)What about the New Deal when America was under communist rule ? All wrong ?

ParticipantThat's interesting. I didn't know about that. I looked for some images and there's a whole Wikipedia article on it, with images:
This habit of removing pictures of "fallen angels" seems as old as ... picture. I remember a case in Ancient Egypt where hieroglyphs of pharaoh Akhenaten-Amenhotep IV were erased after a religious controversy (he abandoned the traditional Egyptian polytheism and introduced a monotheistic worship centered on the Aten)

ParticipantMrs. Chavez is mainly talking about entrepeneurs(small business) not multinational banks. But your point is taken as well. Now I challenge you to point me to a government intervention success story. ;D
Japan, Newly Industrializing Economies (NIEs) aka East Asian Tigers (Singapore, Taiwan, Korea) ... and ChinaNot to mention your New Deal from 1933 to 1938. (Even if some went as far as accusing Roosevelt of being a communist! ;D)Dumping and protectionism can be considered as government interventions as well ?!?

ParticipantWhere is the question mark ? ???

ParticipantTo be honest, I don't believe in the concept “we live with our culture side by side”. One has to integrate where he chose to live. (to make it short)

ParticipantLinda Chavez has eloquewntly stated why government should stand back and let business get on with the job of making money and employing people.
When entrepreneurs fail, they've lost their own money and that of investors who have freely chosen to take the risk.Government programs, however, play with other people's money -- since government has no money of its own. When government programs fail, the consequences aren't born by the people making the decisions but by the taxpayers.
This is the full piece: Linda Chavez: Obama has no clue about entrepreneurship It also explains my base argument against social spending as well. Gobernment produces nothing, bureaucrats are not spending their own money, that is why they are so lavish with it.
The final evidence is to be seen in the last success-story of business enlightment : The Subprime Mortgage CrisisFortunately, the government hadn't to rescue anybody thanks to these businessmen who were freely taking the risk and ... supporting all the consequences ! Thank you to remind us that. (@ Scout: no personal grievance 😉 )

ParticipantCharlemagne called his empire the New Israel and himself David. He called his grandson Lothair Joshua for his warlike qualities, youngest grandsonson Louis Jonathan, Eberhard Nehemiah, and Einhard Bezaleel. Louis the Pious referred to Charles, his son from Judith, as Benjamin.Many Franks assumed Latinized Hebrew names such as Abbo for Abba, Iterius for Itiel, and Haimo for Chaim, Poets praised Empress Judith as Miriam, Esther, and Rachael according to their perceptions of her.A large number of the high clergy took Hebrew names instead of those of apostles and saints: Bishops Elijah of Troyes, Solomon of Constance, Jeremiah of Sens, Isaac of Langres, Jesse of Amiens, Jonah of Orl?ans, and Joseph, the Scot; Abbots Samuel of Lorsch, Adam of Jumi?ges, and Samson, of Pinnamellaria. Women too received Old Testament names, foremost among them Empress Judith at birth.A controversial book, A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 769-900, describes the existence of a Jewish princedom in Septimania at the time of the Carolingians, whose Davidic prince (Nasi) married Pepin the Short's sister Alda and by doing so became his vassal -- hence, the Carologinans could claim the Davidic succession by suzerainty.
