lot s of scientists are now saying, with information from new satellite info, that the sun's activity has more to do with global warming than man made fossil fuels. http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG...7/jul/the-discover-interview-henrik-svensmark
This belongs on the global warming thread if you want to get into this topic in depth. I'll just point out that the article states the obvious. Of course the sun has more to do with global warming than any other factor. It is responsible for all of global warming directly. No one has ever claimed anything else. It is the greenhouse gases that create conditions where the suns warms the planet more rapidly than nature ordinarily permits. The article starts out by stating that climate experts disagree with Svensmark's dismissal of carbon dioxide's role in global warming.
One more time: "by keeping prices artificially low, demand is increased to the point where supply can not keep up, leading to shortages in the price-controlled product." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_controls
not only do you not accept the economic theory, you dont accept kyle's point that it simply isnt just to force prices on someone. if i have something and i want to sell it or rent it for x, the government does not have the right to force e to sell it at x minus 20% or whatever. again, i think the root problems is the rich white liberals idea that every thing is a problem for him to solve. never allowing humans to make decisions for themselves.price controls are favored by fools and lunatics. in zimbabwe, the dictator mugabe noticed food was kinda pricey. so he set price controls. stores were ravaged immediately and people starved. the shortage was immediate and devastating. but he thought he knew how to fix prices with a simple government solution. like red, he never cares about outcomes.
