Isn't this What it is All About?

I came across this article on CNN just a few minutes ago.  I thought this was an exceptional use of the internet for helping people in need.    Maybe this is also the answer to keeping more government out of our lives.  What a great idea.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone, from Williamsburg (where we have a little bit of snow and a lot of rain).  May you all have a loving, joyous and happy Christmas with many blessings!

Sweet Forgiveness

Sometimes a song just kind of grabs you...and sometimes you are not even sure why.  It might be the melody, the instruments, or the lyrics.  And sometimes it may be only a portion of any of those that just strike a chord with you.  At least that is what happens to me.  I like a song titled Sweet Forgiveness for lots of reasons.  But here is the last verse....I am not dr

Steve Kangas

I recently discovered a website by Steve Kangas.  I knew nothing about him but read a few of his posts and thought he made a lot of sense.  I have sense printed out several of his posts for leisurely reading later.  These articles I believe were written about 1999 (not sure).  Steve Kangas has several web articles about the CIA and its involvement in many events (he actually

If statism is as described below what exactly do you mean when using the term anti-state?  It sounds more like you mean anarchism rather than the opposite of statism.  Below is from soundpolitics.com:

"Walking the Bible"

I just purchased two books by Bruce Feiler.  They are Walking the Bible, a Journey by Land through the Five Books of Moses  and Abraham, A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths.  Has anyone else read them?  I went berserk at the bookstore today!  LOL Also got one titled The Noticer by Andy Andrews.  Also got one by Anwar Sadat's wife.  That

"If I Live to be 100"

I just finished reading a pretty amazing book (and found out my sister had read it and loved it too!).  It is titled If I Live to Be 100 and is by Neenah Ellis, formerly a staff producer for NPR's All Things Considered.  It was amazing and also a little terrifying to read these short interviews with people 100 or older.  One of the excerpts from the back of the

Ron Paul Does NOT Want to go Back to the Gold Standard

Now I am really confused.  Read this article.  Is this the way you guys perceived Paul's stand?

Conflicted about the Federal Reserve

I have been doing a lot of reading about the Federal Reserve (after comments from Ron and Chris made me more curious).  I would like to hear what difference it would make to go back to a gold standard and what are the actual issues with the Federal Reserve.  Most of the interest they make goes back to the Treasury.  A small percentage is left for shares/dividends.  How, exac

Taxation Through the Ages

Here is a good article.  I like that he starts out quoting Bastiat.  I would rather look at taxation from a perspective of law and justice and common sense than from a religious perspective.  I find it hard to explain why tho.
