Who do YOU believe?

"If God said it, I'd believe it and that would end it. But who told you God said it and why do you believe them?" --L. Reichard White, a LONG time ago

Are YOU civilized?

The difference between "civilized" (cityfied) and uncivilized is that the "civilized" folks have ceded control AND "RESPONSE-ABILITY" to agents outside themselves. --L. Reichard White, June 18, 2012, 19:08:22

Backwards and Upside-down

"Modern" man does things backwards and upside-down. Education for example. Rather than teaching someone when they're ready to learn, we insist they learn when we're ready to teach. --L. Reichard White, June 16, 2012, 11:36:36

"Remove the pledge from the flag. Remove the flag from schools. Remove schools from government." --Daniel Pose

Morgan's Jamie Dimon testimony to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee (June 13, 2012)

Government is not eloquence, it is not reason; it is force, and like fire, makes a dangerous servant and a fearful master. --George Washington

Why use cash?

Cash is safer. To rob you of cash, the robber has to confront you face-to-face or break into your house. And these days, you may be armed. But he can rob you of cash alternatives (credit, bank deposits, etc.) electronically without you even being aware of it. Further, cyber thieves can rob you not only of everything you have, but, by running up debts, money you haven't even earned yet. --L. Reichard White, June 8, 2012, 13:26:24

Where do jobs come from?

"You're supposed to find jobs that need doing, not create them." --my 90 year-old next door neighbor, Jack, Feb. 2009

Cognitive therapy

To understand is to forgive. --French proverb

Who Cares More?

Who's more likely to worry about a plane crashing, the pilot of the plane (who's life is on the line) and its owners (who's money is on the line) - - - or FAA bureaucrats in Washington D.C. with nothing on the line? --L. Reichard White, June 5, 2012, 09:07:27
