Standards Based Society Versus Regulated Society

Posted on December 26, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, standards are better for humanity than regulation, but regulation is better for the elite. Standards encourage commerce while regulations are, by design, intended to give some politically favored group, privilege. Standards drive people … Continue reading →

Immigration Reform

Posted on December 22, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the immigration bill that is winding it’s way through the legislature, should be called “The wage suppression act of 2013.” Let’s face it, the United States does not have a shortage of workers, … Continue reading →

Incentives, in the Long and Short Term

Posted on December 19, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, incentives count, in every facet of human existence. People can be relied on to do what is in their immediate interests. Long term interests however, have less bearing on what we do, because … Continue reading →

Principles Versus Party

Posted on December 16, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, most folks will give up their beliefs for their team, but very few will give up their team for their principles. We all want our team to win. It is merely human nature. … Continue reading →

Republicans Need to GO!

Posted on December 12, 2013 by john

The Commodification of Human Suffering

Posted on December 5, 2013 by john

John Kennedy’s Legacy

Posted on November 25, 2013 by john
