That’s a wonderful word, freedom. Here in America, we’re free to go where we please, say what we please, and even write what we please. Government has grown all out of proportion to what the Founder’s planned, and Washington D.C. has indeed become very oppressive. It makes on think of Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration, which […]
The yearly holiday which memorializes the fallen warriors of wars past and present, is always a touching time for me. Sunday, PBS broadcast live, the hour and a half Memorial Day program from Washington D.C. I am sure it will be on A&E with commercials for two hours. The show was masterfully produced, and […]
“(1) The act of terrorizing. The use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate, and subjugate, esp. such use as a political weapon or policy. (2) The demoralization and intimidation produced in this way.” That’s the way my dictionary (Webster’s Fourth Edition) defines it. “Terrorism” is all over the media. There is the “War […]
The Jerusalem Post says that according to overheard ’official’ conversations, Bush will invade Iran before his term is ended in November. If these are his plans, has he taken leave of what senses he might still possess, assuming he ever had any in the first place? Stop and think about it. Our troops are […]
Ugh! That’s the way I now feel about politics. I used to watch the Sunday morning news shows. Tim Russert, and the whole gang. All they talk about now is Hillary vs. O’bama, or McCain. Who cares? All three are disasters. McCain says he can win in Iraq by 2013. Isn’t than a grand […]
REPEAT: MY SON DAVID IS ON VACATION TILL MONDAY. FOR SERVICE, CALL ME, DON, HIS DAD, AT 1-888-786-8822 A one time client called me Wednesday, and I got his card out. He, on 5/12/04, (four years ago plus a couple of days), had bought ten ounce silver bars at $61 each. Today, they’re $174.60. […]
REPEAT: MY SON DAVID IS ON VACATION TILL MONDAY. FOR SERVICE, CALL ME, DON, AT 1-888-786-8822 Albert D, a wonderful client I have never met, graciously sent me a 1974 booklet, titled, “Inflation Survival Manual,” and guess what? The advice in that thirty page gem, is exactly the same advice I give today! The […]
Before I go further, my son David is on vacation this week, so you’re stuck with me, the old man. If you call the first number on the web site, which is David’s, you’ll only get an answering machine, as he is in sunny California. I have no idea whether he got your check […]
I wrote about ’wealth distribution’ in the last column. Quite obviously, under a freedom type of setup, wealth is created and distributed without government intervention, bureaucracy, and endless laws. Freedom takes no note of race, birthplace, upbringing, physical location, or for that matter, intellect. These things sort themselves out automatically in 99% of the […]
I am going to illustrate two ways of distributing wealth. Everyone benefits with one method, and everyone loses in the long run with the second. The first, beneficial method, involves basic freedom from government, taxation, and bureaucracy. The first method, allows people to rise with their brains, ability, imagination, personality and desires. It also […]
