The Best Pound for Pound Fighter in MMA

Fedor Emelianenko is a Russian heavy weight mix martial arts fighter considered to be the best fighter in mma history. Being considered the best pound for pound fighter in the world is amazing by itself, but Fedor fights at heavy weight and only weighs 230 pounds. Throughout his career Fedor has been matched up against fighters heavier than he and up to nearly twice his own weight. Fedor has a professional career of 30 wins and only 1 loss. The 1 loss on Fedor's record comes from one of his earlier fights where the doctor stopped the match from a cut over Fedor's eye, Fedor later rematched his one loss and beat the crap out of the guy. Fedor is really the fricken terminator, the guy is crazy good, he is the Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan of MMA.

So tonight I'm watching the latest Affliction event with Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrea Arlovski heading the main event. Arlovski comes out looking really good and Fedor actually looked a little shaky. Arlovski landed a couple good hits on Fedor, but then Arlovski makes a terrible decision to go for a flying knee ko and Fedor counters it with a overhand right, knocking out Arlovski. This fight actually made me doubt Fedor's ability to keep his reputation as best fighter in the world. Fedor did not look good when the bell rang, he looked shaken and unconfident. I kinda think Fedor escaped from this fight, his ko came at the perfect moment because Arlovski made a really stupid decision to go for a flying knee. I hope Fedor can recover from this fight because he did not look like his normal self, I've seen this guy get dropped on his neck from a suplex slam and then turn around and submit the guy.

Capitalism and Socialism

I have one golden rule for national economics, if its a
necessity, then it should be provided by the state.
Its a simple rule which I find to be fair and just. Well then you have to start asking all the questions about what do people need and what do they like to have essentially, because if they need it, it should be given under the collective bargain of the state, paying only the cost of the necessary function and not the profit of a scape goat capital buisness.
For instance, food and water are necessary for people to live, now the government does not give us food stamps like full fledged communism, but our food and water supply is socialised under the government with subsidies. The -COST- and not the profit of our farms and water supply are significantly paid for by our tax dollars.
Now something as simple as food and water is an obvious need for people to live comfortably, but necessity and commodity often come to a bout of argument and subjegation. Such as health care, transportation, natural resources, etc.
Health care is probably the most difficult to determine if it is necessity for people. I think it is a moral necessity for all people to recieve health care no matter what. But, then you have a problem, health care being capitalised in this country is what brings innovation and progress in the healthcare field, and how are you going to tell the Dr. who went to school for 10 years for his MD, who performs brain surgery or what have you on people, that he will be only making $100k per year instead of his $500k ontop of bonuses every year? Health care is the most difficult to determine for capitalism and socialism, but maybe there is a middle ground that can be met. Time may tell.
Then there is another golden rule I have on this matter, natural resources like OIL! should not be left open for exploitation and profiteering of capital buisness. Natural resources should be reserved for the people of the earth and should be as close to evenly distributed at the price of COST and not the private ownership and profiterring of buisness. Now here comes the argument that all people are thinking right now, well the government does everything slower and less production will be met if oil is socialised and not open fo buisness. No it wont, we can pay the same Joe Shmoe to to find oil fields in the earth, we can pay the same jerk CEO of or head of the State Oil Department perhaps 250k a year instead of 250 million a year. And I'm sorry who ever is thinking someone wouldn't run a state department for $250k a year instead of 250mil efficiently and effectivly , your stupid, if the government took over oil right now and said all the top executives will be paid 250k and perhaps 500k for the top guy and they turned it down, then fine, we don't need them, there's plenty of people out there willing to do the job for that price.
Then transportation, well if oil is going to be socialised, isn't transportaion a necessity for people to live, I would say yes, but not all the time obviously because people drive for recreation and for jobs. Our system of every person has their own automobile is inefficient. Europe has many forms of transportation provided by the State which is a good compensation for necessity transport and commodity transport. In the US the oil and auto lobbists have really had Washington by the throat on the transportation issue. We have had the same god damn form of transportation for 150 years. The internal combustion engine in todays cars is the same basic design as a 150 years ago, thats just a little fishy to me when we went from the Wright Brothers little paper airplane to landing on the moon within 50 years. Especially when the 20th century saw more innovation and human progress then any other in history. I know oil has been a cheap source of energy, and don't fix it if its not broken, but its obvious the auto and oil industries have ruled Washington for some time now.

Other functions that society deems necessary include police, fire, education, emergency response, justice, military, domestic abuse control, etc. all fall under a category that we all find to be necessary. We need security and education, so we make it available at cost and not the sale at a private buisness.
