Deflation and Deficit Spending

Posted on May 26, 2014 by john

Denying Rights to Another

Posted on May 8, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, when someone denies a right to another, they also deny that right to themselves. By this logic, the latest push by the government to stifle the free expression of conservative media outlets, … Continue reading →

Logically Consistent Measure of Right Versus Wrong

Posted on April 27, 2014 by john

God and the State

Posted on April 21, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, government is intent on replacing God, and in doing so they demand equal supplication. This is not a new thing, the ancient empires all did it. The Egyptian Pharaohs were considered the sons … Continue reading →

Weakness Begets War

Posted on April 14, 2014 by john

The Honor System

Posted on March 30, 2014 by john

Oligarchy of The Red Tapeworm
