1+1=5: Trusting the government

http://oneplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/2008/09/trusting-government.html

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. I think that most people in the US think that health and safety issues like safe drinking water has to be handled by the government, rather than through private means. Here's an article. About an EPA decision regarding perchlorate levels in drinking water. The Pentagon could face liability if EPA set a national drinking water standard that forced water agencies around the country to undertake costly clean-...

1+1=5: Gluttonous debt

http://oneplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/2008/11/gluttonous-debt.html

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. From Dr. Mercola's website. From the moment of the U.S. constitutional birth in 1789, the debt accumulated by the federal government did not hit $1 trillion until 1981. It took 183 years to incur the first trillion dollars. It only took 20 years to grow that debt to $5.7 trillion, and a mere seven years to reach $9 trillion. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Listen to the Wookie.

1+1=5: Let's hear it for regulation!

http://oneplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/2008/11/lets-hear-it-for-regulation.html

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Let's hear it for regulation! The right kind of regulation, that is. From DownsizeDC. Often, the repeal of a government regulation will result in the restoration of free market regulations that are far stronger. Please notice that the government operates under different rules . . . You can't fire the government! You can't take your business elsewhere. Bankruptcy equals the strongest possible form of regulat...

1+1=5: Democrats make some sense!

http://oneplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/2008/11/democrats-make-some-sense.html

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Saturday, November 8, 2008. Democrats make some sense! In their 1932 party platform. Which helped FDR get elected. Of course, he turned around and did many things completely opposed to what he campaigned on. (Sound familiar? It's not all libertarian principles or anything, but there are a few good tidbits-. For another shocker of a Democratic platform statement (vowing not to interfere with education), see this post.

http://oneplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/2008/11/real-election-results.html

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Thursday, November 6, 2008. The Real Election Results. NOTA by a landslide! As a percentage of the eligible-to-vote U.S. citizens:. NOTA - 42.35%. Obama - 27.46%. McCain - 24.13%. Other - 6.05%. NOTA stands for None of the Above. In other words, many of us refused to give our vote to any of the candidates listed on the ballot. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Chaos vs. Linear Thinking.

1+1=5: It's all pretend

http://oneplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/2008/11/its-all-pretend.html

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. The notion that this is a government "of the people" etc., should be dead by now, but many people still believe it. It's hard for me to keep pretending, though, when you see that the powers-that-be blithely take things into their own hands, even if they have no explicit authority to do so. Buried in a Bloomberg article. From the Wall Street Journal. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ron Paul for President.

http://oneplusoneequalsfive.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-like-this-article.html

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Friday, October 17, 2008. I like this article. This website is pretty weird looking, but I really enjoyed this article. Here's the first part:. Suppose you give me a million dollars with the instructions, "Invest this profitably, and I'll pay you well." I'm a sharp dresser - why not? I have generated a 20% annual return on your investment." You are very pleased, and pay me an enormous commission. Now I've got a big stack of IOUs, so I...

Random views of our life in New Hampshire and the thoughts in my head. Friday, November 28, 2008. Chaos vs. Linear Thinking. Interesting article by Butler Shaffer. Here's the first bit:. What can be more insane than mankind’s continuing insistence upon playing out the simple-minded notion that the intricacies and variability of our complex world can be fully comprehended and rendered manageable by wise leaders? Desperation" may well be the best word to describe our current responses to the ubiquitous mal...
