Should The Govt. Interfere In
.... Sudden drops and hikes are virtually unknown to a centrally planned economy and the economy benefits from that.
The government of a central economy can control monopolies in large companies. In the late 1800's a man named John D. Rockefeller owned 90% of the oilrigs in America.

George Berkely Philosopher
.... in such a manner. He tries to save his theory by saying that the tree does in fact exist because God is the continuous perceiver of all things and therefore God always perceives the tree.
This is an illegitimate appeal to save his philosophy. By saving his theory in this manner he “shoots himself in the foot.” If God cannot be perceived, and if to be is to be perceived, then God cannot possibly exist. Although the existence of God can be inferred through the classical ontological argument, doin .....

letter written to Kepler (1571 - 1630) in 1598, Galileo had stated that he was a
Copernican (believer in the Theories of Copernicus). No public sign of this belief was to
