Great Danger to be Feared
“I place the economy among the first and most important virtues and public debt as the great danger to be feared. To preserve your independence, we must not let our leaders load us with perpetual debt. We mus t make our choice between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.” ~ Thomas Jefferson How true. I am always surprised on the foresight of our forefathers. Yet in all our access to knowledge and what we can … Read entire article »

Audi Green Police Super Bowl Ad
Last night I posted my favorite Super Bowl Ad (from Google) but today after some thought, I wish to share the most frightful Super Bowl Ad. It was from Audi and it’s Green Car. Frightful, because even though they might have been trying to be funny, it just hit too close to the truth, what could be our future: And this in the face of all the Climate Change, and Global Warming fraud out there! If video above doesn’t work, try this LINK … Read entire article »

Letter to his Grandson
Letter to his Grandson Fred I Kent Mr Kent’s grandson, then a schoolboy, was disturbed by the current fashion of disparaging the profit system. He had asked his grandfather to explain just how there can be a profit which is not taken from the work of someone else. April 1942 Mr dear grandson: I will answer your question as simply as I can. Profit is the result of enterprise which builds for others as well as for the enterpriser. Let us consider the operation of this fact in a primitive community, say of one hundred persons who are non-intelligent beyond the point of obtaining the mere necessities of living by working hard all day long. Our primitive community, dwelling at the foot of a mountain, must have water. There is no water except at a spring … Read entire article »

Potentially Paralyzing
I often visit the Weather.com site. Being sick sort of has me out of the loop. So imagine when I went to Drudge today, and clicked on a weather related link and saw our area on the map labeled Potentially Paralyzing! This can’t be good. The next time we have so many acorns in fall, I will believe the wives tale that they are a sign of a HARSH winter! … Read entire article »
How to Live Happily on 75 Percent Less
The “change” in the economy has touched nearly all of us and recently I read an article how some are coping with it. It tells the story of a lady who was laid off from her job, and took another one with a serious cut in income, and prestige. Nine months after getting laid off, Catherine Goerz once again became part of the rush-hour commute—in a way she’d never anticipated. To pick up extra cash, Goerz took a temporary job handing out fliers touting the benefits of public transportation in the San Francisco subway system. Occasionally she’d bump into people she knew from her former job as a creative producer for a Bay Area communications company. “They’re in their corporate clothes,” she recalls, “and I’m in this silly T-shirt and hat. ‘Cathy, is … Read entire article »

Freckles
So sweet a story… An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. “You’ve got so many freckles, there’s no place to paint!” a girl in the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. “I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her finger across the child’s cheek. “Freckles are beautiful!” The boy looked up, “Really?” “Of course,” said the grandmother. “Why, just name me one thing that’s prettier … Read entire article »

Find Your Backbone
The end of the year and the beginning of another should give us all pause to reflect, to plan, and to hope. I came across this book quote on Jeff’s blog and I had to borrow it as it seemed timed perfectly for the end of December. “Gumption” by novelist J.C. Hutchins Most of us settle in, and settle for what we have. Rather than pursue, we accept. Our lives become unwitting celebrations of passivity: we undervalue our work and perceive ourselves as wage slaves (and so we phone it in at the day gig), we consume compulsively (but not create), we pine for better lives (but live vicariously through our televisions). These corners we paint ourselves into, it’s no way to live. There’s no adventure here, no passion, no hunger for change. Remember that relentless optimism you once had? The goals you … Read entire article »

In the University, All Men Are Not Equal
“This campaign to equalize test scores among unequal students is utopian and unattainable, and amounts to a scam by the education industry.” ~ Pat Buchanan We pour all kinds of money into education, but is it working? Are the young people learning? Pat Buchanan says… In a ranking of 50 states and D.C. by how much each spent per pupil in public schools in 2005, New York ranked first; D.C. third. The state spent $14,100, and New York City just a tad less. And the bountiful fruits of this massive transfer of taxpayers’ wealth? In D.C., nearly half of all black and Latino students drop out. Of those who graduate, nearly half are reading and doing math at seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade levels. D.C. academic achievement ranks 51st, last in the U.S. Yet last week came … Read entire article »

Treaty of Copenhagen
The draft Treaty of Copenhagen, to be signed in mid-December 2009, would create an unelected world government with direct power over all financial and trading markets, and direct power to intervene over the heads of elected governments in the economic and environmental affairs of all nations that sign the Treaty. The word “government” actually appears in the Treaty as the first of three purposes of a huge, new, supranational bureaucratic entity that will have the power to require wealthier nations to redistribute up to 2% of their annual gross domestic product to third-world countries in imagined reparation for imaginary “climate debt”. Watch the video. On October 14th 2009, Lord Christopher Monckton, a noted climate change expert, gave a presentation at Bethel College in St. Paul, MN. He has a strong warning … Read entire article »
