What was the last time that black market textile dealers had a regular firefight in NYC? What was the last time they purchased custom-made submarines to smuggle their wares?
And even more insane R&D costs. One successful drug pays for a thousand of failed ones.
Not so fast. Here is a table:
While not a fan of the CATO Institute. I feel I should point out that they sited Medical Data. So, you have to admit that the Portuguese saw a reduction. It’s also interesting to observe the time frame, and turnaround time of the study Aybssinia posted. Not much time for evaluation of the evidence. 2007 was a hard time for Portugal, as well as the rest of Europe. They have us to thank for that by the way. During economic turmoil, both attendance at religious services, and use of recreational drugs increase. Some seek hope, other give up on it.
That’s your opinion.Bla, bla, bla… The Cato Institute is just another Think Tank just like the Brookings Institute and all the other policy making think tanks that run the world. If anyone here has ever read any of my posts, you’d know how I feel about “think tanks”.
…think tanks make and create all policy in the US, and Think Tanks are why gridlock exists here too. Think Tanks are what makes people argue about dumb issues like gay marriage, and they’re what allowed the Gov. To be able to enter the Middle East on false issues.
Think Tanks are modern day Freemasonry, and Think Tanks will ensure that our modern day two party system will remain just that - And Cato plays a role in that too by creating ‘far-too-wild’ policies for their “third party”
Modern day Freemasonry in what way? That they are fraternal organizations whose primary function is charity work, or that they have all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories attached to them?Bla, bla, bla… The Cato Institute is just another Think Tank just like the Brookings Institute and all the other policy making think tanks that run the world.

Oh those Masons have always had their hands in all politics since the French Revolition. They’re the ones that created all this “enlightenment” baloney, as well as these secular fraternities and what not… These think tanks are just modern-day extensions of old Masonic ideology.
I’m sure you meant to say American Revolution. Not only were the French Masons less politically active in general, they were less active as leaders and actually suffered more from the revolution than their American cousins (who made up 33% of the people who signed the Constitution and of course there’s Washington).
I love a good conspiracy theory.
. But in reality, all one needs to do is research the founders of these Think Tank “Institutes” and also see where their donations come from… Many of the largest ones get huge donations from Middle Eastern oil rich nations, while the more ‘progressive’ ones from alternative energy and environmental big shots.Yeah, so what’s this conspiracy site you are using as a source?Nice try there fellas.
It’s all just a power struggle and capital is the main objective. There are some books on these issues, and minimal research is all it takes to be able to grasp the concept. There is no “conspiracy” here.
…but honestly, the democratic and republican party’s are run by the some of the same Think Tanks. It’s two sides of the same coin. There will never be a ‘third’ option, because there already exists a dominant elite who possess the most power. The New York based UN is also run by some of the same Think Tanks.
Yes, there is “truth,” but it’s being pushed by one of the oldest and largest “think tanks” (also known as the Catholic Church) out there so by your logic we can’t trust this “truth.” Yeah, the Church fits the definition of “think tank.”
There is no conspiracy site for this because it’s not a conspiracy. It’s all fact. Surely you don’t deny that all public policy comes from Think Tanks such as the Brookings Institute, the Heritage Foundation, etc., do you?
The Catholic Church does not negotiate with organizations by basing her teachings on what will produce the highest profits or most powerful relationships… The Church bases her doctrine on Divine or Public Revelation. From God only.
You might actually want to learn what the actual definition of “think tank” is. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.
The closest the CC comes to anything similar to what Think Tanks do is arrange for Counsels, where Canon Law is modified. But the Church can only do these things based on the keys she possesses, to bind and loosen as she sees fit. But that’s only in regard to Catholic tradition or “Canon Law”.
