We’re fighting terrorism, afraid of terrorism, and being protected from terrorism. Isn’t it grand? The good old government, in all its powers, bureaucracies, and employees, is protecting us from terrorism and those nasty creeps who would blow us to bits, because they’re jealous of our prosperity and happiness. How wonderful! Except we’re not prosperous, […]
Is always wrong. At least it usually is. Look at history in any time period. Go back to Biblical times and see how the majority was always wrong. I can’t think of a single instance in the whole Bible when the majority was right. In Jesus’ time, was the majority right? Was the majority […]
The latest surveys show that the largest segment of the American populace going bankrupt, are the elderly. Honestly, it’s enough to make one cry. The thought of these old people who have worked hard, raised their kids, and been wonderful, decent citizens, actually going bankrupt, and losing everything they have, is mind numbing. I […]
I think there will be a lot of outrages and disagreements with this one, but I say it like I think it is, and that’s that. The war on drugs is an utter failure, first of all, just like wars on prostitution and gambling. When the governments decided that they couldn’t stop gambling, they […]
I think there are two reasons for the existence of corporations, and only one is valid. The first and main one, is to raise money for enterprise, and give rewards for the investors. How could a railroad be built, unless there was a pool of investors’ funds to accomplish this? A corporation’s selling stocks […]
I love good quotes from famous people. Here are a few, which currently apply: “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity, is like a man standing in a bucket, and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” – Winston Churchill “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose […]
I can’t believe how smart I was 20 some years ago. Here’s chapter 31 of my long out of print book, which is pertinent today. Titled, “The Great Diesel Fraud.” ” For close to twenty years we have been robbed blind by one of America’s largest industries, at a huge cost to the consumer, […]
That’s what Karl Marx wrote about. We capitalists will sell the rope to hang ourselves, and we are doing just that. As you know, we took a week’s cruise down the Mexican coast, (and naturally I gained five pounds). We stopped at Barstow on the way to LA to board our ship, and being […]
That’s a wonderful word, freedom. Here in America, we’re free to go where we please, say what we please, and even write what we please. Government has grown all out of proportion to what the Founder’s planned, and Washington D.C. has indeed become very oppressive. It makes on think of Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration, which […]
The yearly holiday which memorializes the fallen warriors of wars past and present, is always a touching time for me. Sunday, PBS broadcast live, the hour and a half Memorial Day program from Washington D.C. I am sure it will be on A&E with commercials for two hours. The show was masterfully produced, and […]
