Modern "schools" tell you what you have to learn, when you have to learn it, how to learn it, and don't admit you've learned it till you pass their tests and they tell you you've learned it. In other words, the traditions of modern schooling have taken complete control of what you learn away from you and put it in other hands. This is a tremendous coup. And loss. AND mistake. --L. Reichard White, The HI-JACKING of Civilization, Chapter 24, Going Native, October 22, 2007
I LEARNED PHYSICS WHEN I TAUGHT IT, NOT WHEN I "LEARNED" IT, DESPITE ALL THE TESTS I PASSED. DITTO MY "EDUCATION" CLASSES, TRYING TO TEACH ME HOW TO TEACH.
Taxes: The question isn't "rich" or "poor" -- it's, "Who gets the money?" The answer is "government" -- which, in the case of the U.S. government, spends 43% of it on wars, past and present. --L. Reichard White, Wednesday, December 08, 2010 10:24 AM

Based on reactions to Wikileaks, apparently governments. Especially the U.S. Government. --L. Reichard White, Wednesday, December 08, 2010 8:59 AM

Descriptions of foreign leaders via the latest Wikileak's release of U.S. documents describes Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai as "paranoid." Let's see, a U.S. puppet "leading" a tribal culture with U.S. guards for protection. If he's NOT paranoid, he's crazy. --L. Reichard White, Monday, November 29, 2010 12:03 AM

Does it bother you at all as a "taxpayer," that you (and your kids grand kids and the yet unborn) were involuntary "investors" in GM, AIG, Goldman Sachs, CITI, J.P. Morgan, Fanny & Freddy, etc?

There's always a discount on an I.O.U. The amount depends on its
perceived likely-hood of being paid. The dollar is, in essence, such an
I.O.U. The perception of repayment is dropping and you can follow it
by watching the value of dollars on the market. --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, November 09, 2010 11:04 AM

When you're flying with small children, why do they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first in an emergency?
ANSWER: Because the children might not be able to take care of themselves - - - and if you don't take care of yourself first, you might not be able to either. This applies in a LOT of situations. So, especially if you're going to help others, it's your duty to take care of yourself first. --L. Reichard White, 1998
Relative to education especially, money appropriated rather than earned in a competitive free-market freezes evolution, stifles improvement, and condemns our children to deteriorating lives in a deteriorating society. --L. Reichard White, Friday, July 30, 2010 11:25 AM

The most dangerous person on earth is the arrogant intellectual who lacks the humility necessary to see that society needs no masters and cannot be planned from the top down. --Friedrich von Hayek
For all our revolutionary heritage, Americans in general seem to have this odd, misplaced, unblinking, and often unconscious respect for credentialed authority, apparently thinking that credentials and expertise somehow cleanse people from the baser parts of human nature like self-willed agendas, petty backbiting, authoritarian behavior, the brazen seeking of power, a cultic mentality, etc.... --Michael Miles

Unfettered markets occur when governments protect sellers from buyers by passing laws. Almost invariably, laws protect sellers more than buyers because sellers can afford lobbyists. Otherwise, buyers put unruly sellers out of business in short order by taking their business elsewhere. --L. Reichard White, Sunday, June 06, 2010 8:53 AM
