Exclusive Information!

August 17, 2010 August 17, 2010Economics, Education, History

Okay…so the title was just a gimmick, my info isn’t really exclusive, but pretty nearly. That’s why I’m here to share it. I want it to become common knowledge to all people in all places. Pretty big job, eh? At any rate…my exclusive information has three parts: 1) The Fed is a racket, a scam of massive proportions 2) Most Americans are unaware of this. 3) Therefore, a group of dedicated (and aware) citizens are trying to spread the knowledge about this scam. They are holding a rally in downtown Chicago on September 3rd. Let me tell you, as I…

How Kids Used to Grow Up

August 16, 2010 August 16, 2010Shared

Fred Reed remembers the good old days when kids grew up unregulated and naturally, without drugs to sedate them, without friends committing suicide or going bizerk with a gun at school. Read the article here.

A New Day

August 16, 2010 August 16, 2010Politics

One of my favorite songs is from the musical, Les Miserables, it goes something like this: Tomorrow we’ll discover What our God in Heaven has in store! One more dawn One more day One day more! So on this new day, this Monday, can we put behind us the problems of last week? Let’s leave those things alone and not keep harping on the same issue. What issue do you mean? you might innocently ask me. Frankly, I’m sick to death of the New York Mosque story. I don’t want to hear anything more about it. Here’s how I stand…

Gold and Deflation

August 13, 2010 August 13, 2010Economics, Shared

A question that often comes up in discussing financial preparing is, “what happens to our gold if we get deflation?” The author of this article argues that gold is your best bet, deflation or inflation.

Upcoming Mises Circle

August 12, 2010 August 12, 2010Economics, Education

Tonight is our monthly Mises Circle in Rockford. What is it? We get together at a local cafe to discuss political philosophy (the age old debate between minarchism and anarchism generally dominates that realm), economics, politics, or whatever we’re interested in. We’ve been doing it only since May, but I can’t imagine life without it. I look forward to our monthly debates, I had a blast down at Mises U looking for literature and books that our Mises Circle would like. I think it is a success because we keep it very informal and fun. I don’t spend two hours…

The Judge at Mises U!

And I was there, listening to the Judge live! In fact, he called on me to answer a question, so you’ll probably hear me somewhere in the video.

Oil Spill: THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!

Really? Rob Lyons seems to think otherwise, here. A very fascinating article that argues against the constant fear-mongering of the state.

The Problem of Speaking

August 3, 2010 August 3, 2010Economics, Politics

There was an article on LewRockwell.com yesterday about the debate over the language spoken in America. I think perhaps it would be helpful to step away from the emotionally-charged controversy and look at it from another perspective. Why don’t we think about immigrants from Poland, from Russia, from Germany, who continue to speak their native language in the same way? Why aren’t we offended when an elderly person from another country never masters the common language of America? I think this comes into an ever bigger issue/problem we tend to have. I hate to say that it is the “White Man’s Burden”…
