Posted on April 21, 2014 by john

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 →

Weakness Begets War

Posted on April 14, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me… weakness always begets war. The Ukrainian crisis illustrates the weakness of the West in negotiations with Russia, brought about by the fecklessness and stupidity of our leaders. One point I have not heard … 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 →

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 →

Oligarchy of The Red Tapeworm

Posted on March 27, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the legal system is supposed to facilitate market interactions, but in reality the legal system more often than not, is a parasitic drag on the free market. Like a tape worm imparts some … Continue reading →

The Herbalife Chronicles

Posted on March 20, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the news story about Bill Ackman shorting Herbalife stock, then going to the purchasable Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, and getting him to gin up an investigation into Herbalife’s business practices, is a perfect … Continue reading →

New World Order

Posted on March 17, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me… there is a push today to bring the entire world under one government. We see this in the expansionist policies of Russia, the push for a Caliphate and Chinese doctrine of dominance. Many … Continue reading →

Nobility of Heart

Posted on March 13, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the Benjamin Franklin quote, “To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness,” is one of my favorites from that sage man. We are seldom humble today, even to … Continue reading →
