Guarantees of Safety

Think about all the movies you've seen where some security person tells the person they're assigned to protect that they "guarantee their safety." This is either the person who ends up betraying them or gets killed and the person who was their charge is left to fend for himself. Just like safety... Sign in to see full entry.

Taxation and Inflation

I received an email from a conservative list with a headline of "You cannot tax this country into prosperity." I replied with "You also cannot overprice the country into prosperity. It's the flipside of taxation." Sign in to see full entry.

Polygamists and the totalitarian dance of morality

My friends, that is just the beginning. We need to begin to view these crackdowns the same way the sharks view the folks who fall overboard...ever ever circling towards the center. What I am talking about is an ever increasing insistence upon moral purity coming from all places the government. With... Sign in to see full entry.

Iron Chip

If anyone is wavering over the question of letting the government chip you, just watch Iron Man. There are a couple of scenes with Jeff Bridges and a little car alarm remote-looking device. Sign in to see full entry.

A Parasitical Philosophy

The left/right paradigm under Reaganism taught us that the Democratic party was the party of big government and the Republicans wanted to reduce the size of government and set us free of that. The two parties had the roles of adversary and savior. This was quite an easy fit, philosophically, for... Sign in to see full entry.

Future Shock

About 10-15 or so years ago I saw a bumpersticker that said, "Think Globally, Act Locally." I want to say it was around 1995-1996 but I am not sure. Clinton was president and those of us reared under Reaganism had been fed this line that the Democrats, the party of "Big Gov," were going to lead us... Sign in to see full entry.

Almost Paid For It Twice

I was at Fry's Electronics to pick up a DVD that they had on sale. I bought a bottle of water from the vending machine. I carried the DVD with me up to the counter and I set the bottle up there close to me. I had already drank about a third of it. The cashier scanned my DVD and then scanned the...

Fluoride

This week I bought my first tube of non-fluoride toothpaste. I mentioned it to some folks here at work. One coworker asked why. I told him because it does other things than what we've been taught. He said that his son's dentist swears by fluoridated water. I told him that the dentists have all been... Sign in to see full entry.
