Seminal communism

“We are not without accomplishment. We have managed to distribute poverty equally.” --Nguyen Co Thatch quotes (Vietnamese Vietnamese Foreign Minister))

Irritant?

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?  And that Uncle Scam now considers investing your money in failing businesses as Standard Operating Procedure? --L. Reichard White, Sunday, November 21, 2010 10:58 AM

What's the difference?

"Difference" is just the evidence of a "change" we didn't notice while it was happening." --L. Reichard White,  "The HI-JACKING of Civilization," Chapter 19, Information, Knowledge and Prediction R Us

Who'd win the dunce-off?

Deadbeats?

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

Amazing how cheaply they can sell slavery: Pretty songs, flapping flags, and lying "leaders." --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, November 02, 2010 5:05 AM

I C-A-N'-T H-E-A-R YOU!

What will they do AFTER decriminalization??

What will the 65%+ of the law-and-order-industry directly involved in "drug enforcement" do when they don't have that arbitrary group of perfectly good chemical substances to kick around anymore? --L. Reichard White, Friday, September 17, 2010 1:40 PM

It's your DUTY!

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

The exhorbitant costs of "free" government schools

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

Which is more important?

My freedom is more important than your great idea. --Anonymous via R. Lee Wrights, Tuesday, October 05, 2010 5:01 PM

The Republicans think you can control the scorpion, but the Democrats think you can reform it.  --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, October 05, 2010 7:18 AM

Well, OK, if you INSIST - - -

OK. If you INSIST on taking politics & politicians seriously, BY THEIR ACTIONS, comparing Mr. Bush to Mr. Obama is like trying to decide whether Richard Spec was worse than Charles Manson. Or if you're too young to remember that, how about Jim Jones vs. Jeffery Dahmer? --L. Reichard White, Sunday, September 19, 2010 10:09 AM

Commander-in - - - ah, what was that again?

He may be YOUR "Commander-in-Chief" - - - - but he's MY public servant. --L. Reichard White, Saturday, September 18, 2010 9:31 AM

Alright, who REALLY peed in the pool?

It wasn't the democrats or republicans who screwed things up, it was the politicians. --L. Reichard White, Friday, September 17, 2010 8:23 AM
