Ignorance in the Information Age

Posted on June 1, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, They say we live in the “Information Age,” but it seems to me, we live in an Ignorance Age. We have access to heretofore unimagined volumes of information, we have the ability for very little … Continue reading →

Corruption and Poverty

Posted on May 29, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, there is nothing more destructive of a nation’s economy and standard of living, than corruption in government. This is obvious but also can be proven simply through observation. Corrupt public officials corrode … Continue reading →

Deflation and Deficit Spending

Posted on May 26, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the real reason economists, politicians and Central Bank Presidents are so terrified about deflation, has nothing to do with any pernicious incentives deflation would introduce into the economy, but actually because it … Continue reading →

Stagnationist Economic Policies

Posted on May 22, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, we have learned nothing from the stagnationist policies that created the Great Depression, and so are repeating it. The policies that kept the US, and indeed the entire world, in recession for … Continue reading →

Economics of A Scale

Posted on May 1, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a simple way to think about a nation’s economy, is that of a balance. On one side of the scale there would be education, entrepreneurial ethos, work ethic, incentives, etc… and … Continue reading →

Uplifted People

Posted on April 17, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me… it is impossible to lift someone up by tearing them down. This logic applies in all walks of life and in every circumstance. Those who claim otherwise are abusers. To lift someone up, … Continue reading →

Fast Food Economies

Posted on April 10, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, just because someone eats nothing but doughnuts, drinks only soda and chain smokes cigarettes, doesn’t mean they are going to have a heart attack tomorrow, but it is an indication they will have … Continue reading →

The Godhead of the State

Posted on April 6, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, government is intent on replacing God, and by doing so enslaving humanity. This is not a new thing, in fact, it is human history’s meme. The Egyptian Pharaohs, Hittite kings, and Genghis Khan, … Continue reading →

Justice

Posted on April 3, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, justice is simply the golden rule, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This is the most realistic and clear definition of that mercurial term there can be. Any … Continue reading →

The Honor System

Posted on March 30, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the political elite only pledge to follow our various Constitutions, but are not forced to. This is nothing more than an honor system. To place such responsibility in the hands of so few … Continue reading →
