In 1991 I wrote a book titled “I hold These Truths.” It contained 90 chapters of my opinions on 90 subjects. It went through four printings and has long been out of circulation. I re-read it last weekend, and was surprised at how good a 21 year old book can be. For the next […]
(21 years ago, I wrote a book, titled ?I Hold These Truths.? It went through four printings. I read it last weekend for the first time in 20 years I guess, and was surprised at how correct I was 21 years ago. It has 90 chapters! Each one my opinion, on 90 different subjects. For […]
Ask my kids what MYOB means. They’ll know. It simply means “Mind Your Own Business.” That is fine if you want to keep gossip down, but to me, it is very good advice for the United States Government and State Department. I know, I am preaching to the choir, but even Newt is on […]
Is silver a better buy than gold? Long term, I say yes. Why? Because, currently, gold is 50 times more expensive than silver, meaning that the ’ratio’ between them, is 50 to 1. Throughout history, and even in 1980, gold was 16 times more expensive than silver, or a ’ratio’ of 16 to 1. […]

The troops we are ’training,’ now shoot their American ’trainers’ in the back. […]
Health Care Sans Government by David Stott What are the main concerns about providing health care to the poor in America? Simply put, it’s deemed to be way too expensive, and the fact that the government is involved, makes the administration completely inefficient, resulting in even higher cost. What if we could eliminate government […]
49.9% of what? The shocking percentage is that 49.9% of Americans pay no income taxes! The figure of 49.9% is just shy of 50%. 50% is the point at which half of Americans are supported by the people who do pay taxes. In my opinion, when the 50% point is reached, it’s all over […]
Credit seems to make the world go round. We all use it, even if we pay our bills in full each month. When my wife and I go on a trip we use a credit card, as do all of us I am certain. Some like to have a mortgage, even though they could […]
A time bomb, is an explosive which will go off in the future, usually being set to go off with a clock or timing device. The time bomb I am writing about, is one whose detonation is in the future, with its destructive explosion time is not set yet, but its eventual happening is […]
