Actions have consequences: Brazil snubs Boeing due to NSA spying…

22-Dec-13

…we cannot simply do as we will and expect the world to fall in line. It’s a far more nuanced world than that. Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet about itSubscribe to the comments on this post

The Rule of Law in the financial system…

10-Aug-13

…I’ve said for quite awhile that the rule of law was broken in the financial system with the failure to hold the banks accountable as they were given blank checks during the bailouts. One example of this is the bias against fraudulent foreclosures. If you as a person write a check to a third party […]

Catabolic collapse

25-Jul-13

I’ve long wondered about the state of affairs today. It has seemed to me for some time that we are applying massive and expensive bandaids to many problems our nation faces. Both right and left are guilty of this; we’re addressing symptoms rather than structural problems. I did not know until recently this…trend?…has a name: […]

Sen Warren and a $22 per hour min wage…

20-Apr-13

Food for thought. Please note the Senator isn’t advocating for raising the wage to that rate, only “minding the gap”. (Raising it now that high would have some serious negative economic consequences.)

Interesting perspective: John Galt as a terrorist?

29-Dec-12

There are always at least two sides (perspectives) to a story. Agree or disagree, it’s interesting to note that some would view Galt as a terrorist. Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet about itSubscribe to the comments on this post

HSBC in league with DOJ and drug dealers…

15-Dec-12

…the only thing we mere mortals can do is vote with our few dollars. If you do business with HSBC, I encourage you to read this article, then withdraw your funds from them.

Of horse shelters and property rights…

30-Nov-12

Well played, sir. On another note, do we really own our properties if the city council has veto power over what you build on your own land? Consider, too, the notion of property taxes. Failure to pay them will result in the forced sale of your property. Finally, consider the Kelo decision. The SCOTUS ruled […]

There is no debt ceiling or fiscal cliff? Right?

20-Nov-12

The short answer: yes and no. Forbes says no, Paul says yes. One of the first comments points out that “no” is a more applicable answer, so long as the amount of fiat money in circulation is not disclosed…which it is not disclosed and hasn’t been for years (by both GOP and DNC administrations). Where […]

Man fights to keep vegetable garden…

08-Nov-12

…let the man have his vegetables! From Kelo to soda taxes, we’re in a bad spot when it comes to personal and property rights. Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet about itSubscribe to the comments on this post

Vegas employer fires 22 because President Obama won…

08-Nov-12

…or, “why I’m a bad manager.” This arbitrary decision, less than 48 hours after the election, serves only to illustrate this employer is a bad manager, not a principled American. There are a number of things wrong with this. First, I wonder how he made his selection in firing the employees? That aside, a Romney […]
