If you have read him, then read SUPRYNOWICZ’s stuff for an education in little L libertarianism. He can really hit the nail heads.

The Constitution certainly does authorize the federal government to regulate interstate commerce. If the state of Ohio were to enact a selective tariff against the import across the river of Kentucky buttons, in a foolish effort to “protect” inefficient Ohio button manufacturers, this duly delegated power would allow the Congress to step in and overrule such a tariff — a good thing, since a great part of our economic prosperity has resulted from America being, in effect, one huge “free trade zone.”

{End Quote}

Just like all of the USA is supposed to be a free speech zone, so to it should be a free trade zone. We don’t need the various levels of gumamint micromanaging us.

By some small increment — given that home schoolers and private schoolers almost always do better than the inmates of the government schools — the overall quality of learning in Nevada would have improved.

Want to see a real return to full literacy? Close and auction off all the literacy retarding government youth propaganda camps (see John Taylor Gatto), and refund all related tax dollars to the people for use in educating their own children.

That was the system that produced the Founding Fathers, after all — along with a populace that could actually read and understand a limited-government Constitution.

{End Quote}

Yes, the gumamint skools are like prisions run by the post office. The communists that designed publik skools wanted to create a dumbed down class of factory workers. We have created in the seventy years of this “experiment” a dumbed down population that can’t understand how they are being screwed by the system.

We are a nation of sheep people. Led, schorn, and wehn needed served for dinner!

The weaknesses of search engines: You don’t know how much they miss!

End of the run for coach 
By: Carolyn M. Hartko , Sports Writer 

{Begin Quote} 

Brian Jost will retire in June after 33 years of coaching cross-country and track and field at SBHS.

 The South Brunswick sports community had no way of knowing it at the time, but an injury to a Manhattan College sprinter in the late 1960s would have a profound effect on future runners at South Brunswick High School.

Over the summer, Mr. Jost and his wife of 33 years, Catherine, are moving from Perrineville in Millstone Township to Solivita, an active-adult community in central Florida, about 20 miles south of Disney World. Their grown children, 24-year-old Katie and 22-year-old Patrick, are expected to be frequent visitors, especially for the free room and board so close to the theme park.

Ms. Jost is wrapping up her 35th year as an elementary school teacher in Strathmore School in the Matawan/Aberdeen school district. Like the seasoned educators they are, the Josts did their homework before choosing Solivita as their new home.

This story illustrates the weakness of the search engines. They don’t find it all! And, you don't realize it. Here's a story on the internet. Findable if you know where to look and know that it exists. But, invisible to the major search engines.

I happen to glance over my local rag. We get it because Frau Reinke likes it. It just aggravates me with the liberal leftist statist drivel. Appologies for why taxes have to go up. Or, why we aren’t getting our fair share of this state program or that federal program. Or isn’t it good that the state collectivist education program put on an anti-drug program. That one just sets me off in so many directions it isn’t funny. I usually read the rag for ammo to for my blog or to stick thought provoking comments in theirs.

Anyway. Front page bottom I find a Jasper story! Huh? I’ve lived here for too many years. I thought I knew all the Jaspers in town. And here’s pops up one. Worse than that, it never showed on any search engine.

My alumni ezine attempts to be the The Journal of Jasper Accomplishments. Whie the search engines are great at somethings, they are obviously terrible at these things. So I need all my readers to become reporters, collectors, and detectives in the effort. I know I can’t do it with automated tools alone.

Now on a liberty perspective, here is a story about two teachers retiring on state pensions with good benefits. THe taxpayers of the Peoples Republic of New Jersey will be paying that forever. I have no doubt that they played by the rules and followed all terms of their contracts. But it just illustrates the basic unfairness of government employment. You get into "public service", work for 30 years, and then live out the rest of your life on the public. Not only can't the State afford that but it is unamerican.

We have to get the gummamint out of education. They fail to educate. They are ruinously expensive. And, it is not fair to make everyone pay for services that they get no benefits from. I don't pay to feed your chioldren, clothe them, shelter them. So why do I have to pay to badly educate them.

No where in society to we have lifetime employment, with a generous guaranteed retirement, with jobs that have such a poor output. In the free market, it is "serve and survive" or "fail and die".

The first thing that we need to eliminate is government education. The second is state pensions. And, the third is gumamint "jobs"!

Now you know why I don't read the local rag. It aggrevates me on many levels.
