Libertarian Thread #2: We Shall Never Die!

Back to cheesesteaks. 
I've never had a whizz version so I really don't know what I am missing.

I think provolone on a cheesesteak to be something of an abomination. 

Libertarian friends!

I've been thinking about the Fed.
Well, more like I've thinking about the price of everything and how it keeps skyrocketing. It's something that really chokes middle America, I know my family made some changes for 2012 to be in a better financial situation but the price of living has negated it largely.

I never really gave it thought, but isn't the Fed like...supposed to help with that stuff?
I'll admit, I really don't know much about it except generalities.
Soooo recommend me some reads gentlemen. I'm open right now, not necessarily removing it, but changing it maybe, but I just want some info.

What it does, impacts, theories on how it could be better (or what'd happen if removed outright). I'm all ears right now. I know Ron Paul has written on the matter.

edit: please no anti fed rants at the moment either

People who propose change will always be kept down and always have been aside from the few epochs in human history when the the perfect set of circumstances coincided to make the ground fertile for new ideas.  

Yeah but I've still never had an edible cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia. It's a real stretch to imagine finding a good one. 

Yo, it's not cheese sauce; it's cheese wiz. There's a big difference, and I highly recommend it.

Brian's lying. Actually, probably not lying just delusional.

Pat's makes some good stuff, but it's mostly just a tourist trap. You get to order in a funny way and see the pictures of all the celebrities who've eaten there.

For the real steak, the semi-orgasmic life altering experience, you go here



The roast pork is even better than the cheesesteak though. I would say the roast pork is probably the true philly sandwich.

Yeah, my wife and I want real cheese, not cheese "sauce."

I'm not sure if you all have seen this article, but this one pissed me off a lot: http://www.carolinajournal.com/exclusives/display_exclusive.html?id=8762 Yes, I posted about that a few days ago.  I actually teach in that county. In a county that makes a girl eat chicken nuggets instead of a turkey sandwich because the child's lunch isn't healthy enough, we had a pep rally on Monday.  One activity was an eating contest.  The first participant to consume the covered item would win a gift card. The covered item? A one-pound block of butter.      Did you win?

Oh no, this was a competition among students.  Fortunately no heart attacks were had.

Brings to mind a riddle:

What's worse more, a pound of butter or a pound of beer?

I have seen the stuff they pass off as food. They have no room to talk about nutrition. I encourage you to check out the food pyramid we grew up on and had rammed down our throats. 6-11 servings of bread products?  Yeah, that's good advice.  Of course, the question is whether or not the USDA's priority is the nutrition of a nation or the commercial interests of the crop industry.
