This is a column I wrote October 17, 1998. “I’ve just finished reading a book titled, The Rockefeller Conscience,” which, in great detail, examines the John D. Rockefeller dynasty, down to the present. John D. Rockefeller, left one of the world’s largest fortunes when he died. Others, such as Edison, Ford, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt, […]
“How high will they go?” A question asked very often of me and my kids. The answer really isn’t that difficult. How high will lettuce, suits, tires, glass, lumber, books, cars, guns, coffee, or any other tangible item go in dollars? An ounce of gold, has always bought a good man’s suit, and it […]
I can’t resist examining what’s wrong today, so here is a script from one of my 1978 radio shows. “Let’s imagine a beautiful city, somewhere in the United States. The time is the 1920’s. The parks are clean, well maintained, and green. There are band concerts in the band shell on Sunday afternoons. The […]
Did you ever get so angry, that you wanted to shoot someone or do something really drastic? Well, I’m that way now about Afghanistan. I’ve written about this before, and my opinion is still the same. WHAT IN HELL ARE WE DOING THERE? There’s no oil, no seaport, and nothing but a bunch of […]
Back in the 1970’s I did some radio shows. They were scripted and short. The following is one of the shows in 1978. Pretty much true today. “I have in front of me, a tiny little clipping from a newspaper. It is from the Associated Press, and says, “Of the 170 million acres of […]
A quick look at what has happened to America over the last 80 years, will prove that we have been decaying, are still doing so, and at an ever increasing rate. The various band-aid “fixes” have only made it worse. Can we keep the ship of America afloat, and resume our initial course of […]
Sometimes I don’t have to write a column, as others do it for me! Check below, and thanks to Dave F Senator Alan Simpson from Wyoming, is co-chair of Obama’s deficit commission, and has called senior citizens the greediest generation, and compared Social Security to a milk cow with 310 million teats. Patty Myers […]
In a free market economy, the most important part of it is private property. In a collective economy, such as under communism, there is no private property, and no freedom. If you own your property, you can do as you see fit with it, innovate, grow, invent, build, and enjoy. Since there is no […]
I don’t think this will do any good, but perhaps a reader will forward it to the higher ups at Walmart, and someone may have some sense. Walmart is the biggest business in the entire world. It takes in more money that the government and makes a profit. Good for Walmart. Except I absolutely refuse […]
I can’t be too serious all the time, so here’s a little ditty sent to me by Dave F. You may or may not have seen it, but it’s cute, as well as appropriate. “Who will help me plant my wheat?” Said the Little Red Hen. “Not I,” said the cow. “Not I,” said […]
