Truth Shall Fade and Freedom Fly
“Art shall fall and Learning die, Truth shall fade and Freedom fly, Hate shall rise, Wrong and Lies, Love shall leave him, so shall I.” This is from a poem by G.K. Chesterton entitled, “Fire, Famine and Slaughter.” I’m not sure about the original interpretation of it and what G.K. Chesterton meant by the poem, I wasn’t able to find anything conclusive. It reminds me, however, what happens to humanity when we are so overcome with the feeling of “winning the war” and conquering our enemy. This is what war does to us, sadly. War appeals to our base instinct,…
Ron Paul 2012!!
Here’s an article that will give all of us Ron Paulians hope!
“Uh-Oh”
Sometimes governments do their best for the economy, but they end up saying, “oops…” Well, here are 10 economic blunders, from ancient Rome to the Soviet Union.
Surprise, Surprise
The Euro likely to keep losing value.
The Internet is “Dangerous”
Whenever I talk to people about the advancement of liberty, the issue of the internet comes up. We all realize how vital the internet has been for communication, networking, and most importantly, getting reliable information. Now there’s no need to watch the mainstream media because we can get news so many other places. I’ve marveled at the comparative freedom on the internet. Well, the FCC knows this too. And they’re not happy. And if the FCC ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
Tariffs: Good or Bad?
Warning: This first paragraph is a bit of a digression from the topic at hand, but I feel it is necessary…you can skip it if you’d rather. A few months ago (May, to be precise) I started what we call a Mises Circle. We (usually 8-10 people) get together at a local restaurant once a month to talk about economics. This last meeting was sort of a free-for-all, there wasn’t any specific topic, everyone just shared their ideas, articles they had read, etc…One of the many topics was covered was (finally, here we go!) tariffs! I never like to agree…
Who Needs a Constitution?
Officials in Oakland figure they can ignore the 4th Amendment. This is what I keep trying to tell people, it doesn’t matter how limited the government is–on paper–they will get around it. They have since the Alien and Sedition Act…and they still are.
Books, and Government, and such
Books play a vital role in my life. They are extremely important to me. I was considering them this morning in light of the free market. Right now, if I want to read a book and not buy it, I will go to our local library. Sadly, the standards of this library have gotten lower and lower until I’m hard pressed to find a decent book. I generally must resort to filling out a request slip for a book at other libraries. And within 6-10 months, I receive the book I wanted! This was frustrating when I was studying WWII….
Big Brother Has Arrived in Europe…
…to listen covertly to conversations. Not only do they have video surveillance, now it is voice surveillance. Scary.
