I have a hypothesis why economists are so eager to imitate the methods of physics. I consider it no wonder that men whose science, viz., economics, is so “pathetically” soft would envy the men whose sciences are so “gloriously” hard, like physics or even their more abstract cousins like mathematics and computer science. Moreover, physics allows men to construct tall buildings, long bridges, mighty rockets pointed straight up, and powerful machine guns that shoot copious amounts of bullets. Economics, on the other hand, merely supplies a low foundation for social cooperation, counsels peace and friendship between nations, and demands that everyone humbly serve their fellow man in his capacity as a consumer, that workers serve the entrepreneurs, etc. The sexual connections are all over the place here.
February 17 - 1600 - Giordano Bruno is burnt alive by the catholic church. Aquinas : "much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death."
Who are you, the Chief Editor at UrbanDictionary?
Well, I was inspired by a George Carlin comedy bit in which he explains why you don't "pull out" from an occupied area, that war is "fucking with people," and so on. :)
Update. And here it is.
