The Great Charade Most of us watched with bated breath as the Fort Hood Shooting unfolded, all our questions danced around and played with by the press. The regime has carefully managing all questions, most remaining unanswered, even yet. As it unfolded, Major Hasan, a psychiatrist, walked into his own pre-deployment briefing, pulled a personal […]
Almost a lifetime ago, the people of America had to deal with labor organizing as it hadn’t since the depression. America was transitioning from a former agrarian society, ended by the war and the vastly different living arrangement than existed before the war, and which hadn’t been balanced out since then.

We have a vast assemblage of problems, accumulated over decades of government ruling government, with no concern for “The People, and what our intents are. The problem seems to […]
Misallocation of Capital (part 2) Capital is the single most critical aspect of “enterprise” in any venue, because it is the sole difference between “tribal living nomadic, hunting gathering life-style” and the “settled, chosen field for agrarian work, chosen for its natural value, and its future prospects”.
