Sub-Saharan Africa is not only disgusting and hopeless, but it should be left alone so as to self-correct.  There are 18,000 reported murders per year, and millions die of AIDS or from un-reported murders.  Somalia and Durfor are simply one tribe fighting another, and a few years ago, hundreds of  Tutsies killed the other bunch, […]

Ah! That’s the magic word now, isn’t it? Everyone would love to be rich! Of course the term has taken on a totally different meaning than it had when I was a kid. I graduated from High school in 1952, (if you can imagine anyone being that old!), and if a guy had a $5 […]

You know, the “gross domestic product.”  That’s the figure that seems ever so rosy.  That’s the statistic which is supposed to show how wonderful the economy is, and this is the figure which seems to constantly go up, and which makes the professional economists predict such a glorious future.  The GDP is what tells us […]

Yeah.  I watched it.  You almost have to, since it will be the talk of the nation the next day, and since it is America’s most watched game or event.  I watched all four hours of it, while it poured rain in Miami.  The half time show was stupid, and I never likes Prince 25 […]

At my Kiwanis Club Thursday, we had the best speaker I have ever heard.  He is a psychiatrist, and he is probably the first of such that I didn’t think was nuts.  He spoke about alcoholism and drug addiction, but primarily alcohol.  He said that alcoholics are born with it, and it is inherited from […]

“The majority is usually wrong,” Is a common phrase I use. Historically speaking, when I say the majority is usually wrong, I will admit that it is rather an opinion. Example: I feel the North was terribly wrong in starting the War of Northern Aggression, incorrectly called the “Civil War.” Example: I feel the Jews […]

Is America being treated to more lies from the White House?   Tuesday’s news said that it has been ’discovered’ that Iran has been helping the Iraqis, which may be true, but the absurdity of the lies which followed, makes me think that the vast armada of naval ships gathered off of Iran are there to […]

Guerilla warfare was perfected in Vietnam, and is in constant use today…by the Iraqis and Afghans.  The guerillas hide out of sight, and plant roadside bombs.  The don police uniforms or U.S. uniforms, and fool their victims.  They kidnap, behead, and murder in secret.  They blow up mosques and do things in anonymously, and are […]

Hammurabi was born around the year 1800 BC and ruled the Babylonian Empire from 1792-1750 BC.  He wrote the Hammurabi Code, which was ancient Babylon’s code of laws, consisting of close to 300 pages. I suggest that in America we might well adopt the entire code, word for word,  It covers everything from marriage, land, […]

I try not to sell bags of US silver coins, because they are damned difficult to store. They’re heavy, and weigh 56 pounds. One could store maybe 70 hundred ounce bars in the same space 2 bags take in a safe. Admittedly they are cheap as far as silver is concerned, often below spot. Below […]
