That about sums it up in the well known ’nutshell,’ doesn’t it? Is the federal government, supposed to PROTECT its citizens, or PROVIDE them with food, shelter, and all sorts of goodies which may be voted upon by a corrupt Congress? A state government should be able to do anything it chooses to do, […]
I wish I didn’t have to do what I do for a living. While it’s nice to talk to people, and protect them from the ravages of inflation, it would be far better if such businesses as mine, didn’t have to exist. I’ve been writing about what life was like when I was a […]
I have a lot of fond memories of entertainment in those halcyon days gone by. Radio? You bet. See, with a radio, your mind has to work. You imagine Fiber McGee and Molly’s closet crashing to the floor, Superman flying through the sky, The Shadow solving a crime, or Jack Benny’s Maxwell maybe. Fred […]
I haven’t forgotten about “Days of Yore” and I will continue next week, describing those halcyon days gone by. Currently, what is going on in D.C. is so absurd, as to be laughable if it weren’t so tragic. The goons invent a name for everything, so as to make it impossible to understand, or […]
Governments spend $200 million a day, fixing and building roads. Streetcar tracks last virtually forever. 70% of ’rush hour’ traffic on freeways, is bumper to bumper. In 1946, 23.4 billion people rode streetcars and busses. Streetcars ran on the busiest of streets and avenues, with busses connecting to them from various neighborhoods. In 2009, […]
In case you didn’t know, I’m ancient. Born in 1934, which to most means I am a decrepit old man, who has lost his sense, and is ready to be put out to pasture. Not true with me. My old age, allows me to remember things so long past, that youth usually doesn’t even […]
In case you didn’t know, O.P.M. stands for ’other people’s money.’ As Maggie Thatcher so eloquently phrased it, “The trouble with socialism, is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” O.P.M. runs the gamut of the entire civilization, and not just politics, but it’s the political O.P.M. that hurts all of us […]
We need another Iron Lady now. Who was she? Margaret Thatcher, who was the British Prime Minister for eleven and one half glorious years, which term in office set records dating back over 150 years. Maggie Thatcher brought Britain back from a 22% inflation rate, to 4% when she left office. Margaret Thatcher’s achievements […]
We have to have a ’clear title’ before we can sell a car, plane, truck, or boat. A title is, according to a dictionary definition, “A claim or right.” A “deed”, according to law, is, “A document, under seal, which, when delivered, transfers a present interest in a property.” They are almost the same, […]
Walt Disney did a great disservice to the animal kingdom in his “White Wilderness” film, by picturing lemmings as committing mass suicide and jumping off a cliff, or marching off to sea in a mass suicide march. Lemmings do indeed, when they become over-populated, march off to the sea in search of a less […]
