Politics and the US Debt Debate

Posted on July 18, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me extremely disingenuous for the politicians to have created this budget problem and are now using it to attack each other. The ramifications, for not only the US economy, but for the World economy as … Continue reading →

“rights” vs Rights

Posted on July 14, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, many people believe that food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare are human rights. While it is absolutely a fundamental human right to have access to them, it is not a right to have someone else … Continue reading →

The US Debt Ceiling

Posted on July 10, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the US debt problem is secondary to the jobs problem. The continued loss of jobs has a tremendous effect on workers today but the effect magnifies over time. If you are a worker … Continue reading →

Self Interested Voting

Dear Friends, It seems to me that what the people of the Middle East need, far more than democracy, (if what they want is liberty), is a functional market system. Not only the Middle East but all over the World. … Continue reading →

American Societal Myth

Posted on July 4, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the only Societal Myth, that is not in fact a myth, is the US Societal Myth. A Societal Myth is an underlying foundational ethos or philosophy that is a primary motivator of the … Continue reading →

Greece and Their Spending

Posted on June 30, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that when governments get into predicaments like Greece they are acting very much like alcoholics. They display the same behaviors and attitudes. The descent path is even similar. It’s funny how macro economic phenomenon … Continue reading →

Political Standards

Posted on June 26, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that if one set of standards is good two must be better. Holding one political philosophy to a much different standard of personal conduct is one example. Holding the different political philosophies to multiple … Continue reading →

My Confession

Dear Friends, It seems to me that there can be an effective ad homonym attack made on me and my motives in writing my blogs. The assault could be that I stand to gain materially if the ideas that I … Continue reading →

Logic and Emotion

Posted on June 20, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the minds of anti capitalists are made up and there is no argument that can ever reach their ears that would, or could, remove the scales from their eyes. The romantic anti capitalist … Continue reading →

Cognitive Dissonance

Posted on June 16, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, What does it say about a government’s attitude towards it’s citizens, when that government allows illegal aliens to break the laws of the country with practical impunity (not requiring drivers licenses for instance), allows lawmakers the privilege to … Continue reading →
