What happens to an unchallenged lie?

"An unchallenged lie becomes an unquestioned truth." --L. Reichard White.

Don't be silly - - - of COURSE you're not a failure!!

"You haven't failed, you just haven't succeeded yet."  --L. Reichard White.

No, you can't do that!

Do YOU have it wrong?

What is "National Security?"

"A specious concept that allows a government to introduce and enforce a continuous series of ever increasingly totalitarian diktats in order to erode personal freedoms under the guise of an 'outside' threat." --Darren 'BigD' Groves

Nothing to hide?

"Unfettered Capitalism" - - -

"Unfettered Capitalism" = protected from competition -- usually by "regulation" -- (and/or subsidy) by a government. Otherwise "capitalists" are seriously fettered by "we the customers." Which is why the capitalists engineer protection -- usually by regulation -- (and/or subsidies) from a government.  --L. Reichard White, Saturday, July 20, 2013 10:54 AM

P.S. This is the ultimate result of what, when applied to bank bailouts, is called "moral hazard" as businesses learn how to get governments to underwrite their operations -- using taxpayers' money. 

Where Chaos Comes From

Chaos doesn't come from folks with many different ideas, it comes when someone tries to impose one of those ideas on everyone.  --L. Reichard White, Friday, July 05, 2013 11:31 AM

Seriously twisted priorities - - -

When someone points out a robber, murderer or Peeping Tom, do you go after the robber, murderer or Peeping Tom -- or do you go after the person who points them out? 

So why is Uncle Sam going after Mr. Snowden instead of going after the FBI, CIA and NSA? 

It's NOT us.

Always remember, The U.S. is NOT us. --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, June 25, 2013 5:17 AM

A little help please - - -

I heard yesterday that "There are some questions one just doesn't ask."  What are they so I can ask them?  --L. Reichard White, Sunday, June 16, 2013 2:48 PM

Time for Plan B?

The Constitution & Bill of Rights applies only to and limits government, those who are elected and swear an oath to uphold them, and those they hire to help them to do that job.  Unfortunately, we-the-people trusted those documents, the oaths, and the honesty of politicians to abide by those limits.  Clearly, that didn't work. -L. Reichard White, June 12, 2013, 13:20:27

Politicians -- before and after?

So let me get this straight: As everyone knows, politicians lie to get elected, but once they take office, you trust them? --L. Reichard White, Wednesday, December 19, 2012 11:48 AM

How do you know it doesn't exist?

Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, December 04, 2012 6:58 AM

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

Is it "greed" or is it "social responsibility?"

Why is it that when people want to spend their own money, it's called greed, but when someone else wants to spend it, it's called social responsibility? --Dave Kruger, Sunday, August 12, 2012 4:29 PM

Where do your rights come from?

"Government does not grant rights, it only recognizes some of the existing ones." --L. Reicdhard White, Saturday, July 28, 2012 3:02 PM

Have YOU recovered yet?

I rediscovered I could learn on my own when I did my pilot ground school using a "programmed text" instead of an instructor. The main damage done to us by government-style education is it leads you to believe, mistakenly, that you need someone to tell you what to learn, when to learn and how to learn, and then insisting you haven't learned until they say so. 

Have you recovered yet?   --L. Reichard White, Monday, July 16, 2012 1:09 PM

No, they DON'T have to protect & serve - - -

Bet you assume u.S. cops have a duty to protect you. Not so. On June 27th, 2005 in /Castle Rock v. Gonzales/, the Supreme Court found the police to have no Constitutional obligation to protect individuals from private individuals. In 1856, the U.S. Supreme Court found (/South v. Maryland/) that law enforcement officers had no affirmative duty to provide such protection. In 1982 (/Bowers v. DeVito/), the Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit held, ...there is no Constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen.
