WE don't know what's good for us --- but YOU do?

We don't know what's good for us?  Really?  That assumes YOU know what's good for us, it's good for ALL of us -- and you have the right to force ALL of us to do it.  Really?  --L. Reichard White, Thursday, August 30, 2012 7:02 AM

How to support freedom

You can support freedom without supporting how others exercise it.

For example, you can support the freedom to use drugs such as tobacco and alcohol without supporting smoking or drunkenness. --L. Reichard White, Monday, August 27, 2012 2:46 PM

Why politics sucks

You can't count on political solutions because politicians don't have anything to win or lose till the next election. --L. Reichard White, August 22, 2012, 07:47:10

The wisdom of crowds??

Seems like the twitter/facebook collective may be "smarter" than everyone thinks - - -  --L. Reichard White, Wednesday, August 22, 2012 7:38 AM

You've got the wrong idea

The idea isn't to create jobs, it's to free-up people's time so they can work less.  --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, August 21, 2012 5:42 AM

The OTHER "Trickle-down" theory

The "trickle-down" theory is that if you reduce taxes on the rich, that money will "trickle down" in the form of jobs to the less rich.  The OTHER "trickle-down" theory is that if you give that tax money to the government, it will "trickle down" to the less rich.  --L.

What do YOU do when the emperor's naked?

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

If you become what you resist - - -

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.

BIG picture

Anything's possible, some things are probable, a few things happen - - - --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, July 10, 2012 7:19

What it's REALLY all about

You think it's about sex; Mother Nature knows it's about babies. --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, July 03, 2012 8:55 AM

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
