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 […]

Having actual form and substance.” A tangible then, is a pound of hamburger, a candle, tire, automobile, locomotive, light bulb, computer, book, map, item of clothing, or anything which can be touched, and has actual weight, substance, […]
Friday, July 20, 2012 at about 12:20 AM, in a 16 screen theatre complex in Aurora Colorado, a 24 year old mad man, released two tear gas grenades, and opened fire on a theatre full of innocents, killing 12 and wounding another 58. The gunman entered the theatre using an exit door on the […]
This is a column I wrote 17 years ago, (April 7, 1995), but it’s still true! Imagine an America without the ability to own and control your own home, farm, factory, or business. America, without private property, would be abysmal. In no place on earth, is the ability to own, buy, sell, and control […]
This is a column I wrote 15 years ago, (July 24, 1997), but it’s still true! I know, that sounds like pure heresy. I love trains, have photographed thousands of them, written for TRAINS Magazine a couple of times, own every issue of it ever printed, and have at least a hundred railroad books, […]
