We all want to be secure.  Security in the form of a reliable car, mate, pet, or a hundred other ways that we want to be secure and safe from robbery or betrayal.  We all want especially, to be secure economically, and that’s why more and more people are taking declining dollars, and converting […]

  Picture the scene:  Salesman knocks on door.  Housewife answers and he tells her about the wonderful new Electrolux model 30, (50 years ago!) which he holds in his hand.  Housewife says, “No,” and salesman sticks his foot in the door so she can’t close it.  He then worms his way into the house trying […]

  It’s not that I can’t think of stuff to write, because I can!  But some letters are so absolutely GREAT, that I feel they are often a column by themselves.  So here we go, from the Waco Texas Herald Tribune on 11/18/10, written by Alfred Evans, in Gatesville, TX.  (Don’t mess with Texas) “Put […]

  One of the most important facets of freedom, and a free people, is private property.  Our Fifth Amendment states that, “No state shall…deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law..” Even Jesus said, at Matthew 20: 15, “Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with […]

This “Uncle Scam” series will end now with this one, because I don’t want to bore you. Let’s consider Afghanistan and Libya. Both total absurdities, and both guaranteed to make Arabs and Muslims hate us. We’ve been in Afghanistan for ten long years, with nothing accomplished, other than spending hundreds of billions of dollars, killing […]

  This “Uncle Scam” series can go on for maybe 250 episodes, but I’ll try to think of something else eventually. Meantime, one of the most glaring of Uncle Scam’s iniquities, is the fact that he refuses to accept the horrendous damage he has done to everyone of us.  How?  By refusing to admit that […]

  New Orleans suffered $75 billion in flood damages when 1995’s Hurricane Katrina struck.  As usual, the media portrayed it as a record storm, doing record damage.  The second is correct, but as far as being a record storm, forget it.  Katrina came ashore as a category one, and airport wind speed was 98 Miles […]
