What Government Is Doing to Our Money by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

People talk of restraining government, but there will be no restraining government so long as the monetary system permits government to expand and spend without limit. So long as their debt is not traded with a default premium, so long as the government and all its connected institutions are considered to be too big to fail, we are going to have a problem with the expansion of power and the loss of freedom.

***End Quote***

So basically we have no way to constrain the growth of government. Boy, the dead old white guys should see this mess!

Zimbabwe Fails To Pay Bills, Cut Off From Web

***Begin Quote***

Zimbabwe, struggling with rampant inflation and shortages of food and gasoline, has been virtually cut off from the Internet for not paying its bills, news wire services reported Wednesday.

Maybe that’s a failure that the internet wasn’t designed to recover form?

LIBERTY: Artificial reef made of tires becomes ecological disaster

***Begin Quote***

A plan in the early 1970s to create a massive artificial reef off Fort Lauderdale has turned into an environmental mess with the U.S. Navy, Broward County and others trying to figure out how to remove about two million tires covering 36 acres of ocean floor.

Ahhh, yes do gooders, but their intentions were pure. It takes government to really screw up, to damage the environment, and all the time we are paying for this stupidity. Arghhh!

Let’s leave decisions to the free market place. It would NOT throw away some “very good” tires  (They were not good for driving on, but a bright inventor might be able to find a good use for them.)  bit represent an opportunity for some one to turn a profit.

RANT: Hey Governor Corzine — still wanna hear about state cars? … (continued) …

You don’t? TOO BAD!

This morning 07 Jan 2008 at about 0730, there were no State Police on I295 south mile marker 47.

Why do I mention that?

A tractor trailer truck doing 80 was pushing people all over the road with his aggressive driving tactics.

Now if all your staties weren’t busy doing revenue collection, then they might have been available to protect and serve the folks getting intimidated.

(He put me on the sholder squeezing into my following distance. Tailgated the fellow in front of me. And, then proceeded to change lanes with another fellow in his midships. That push him into the third lane and the third lane guy to the sholder. To the blaring of horns. And, probably some emphatic Irish prayers being said for his benefit.)

The plate number was 1268095. I know that because I was almost wearing it.

I call the statie number and reported it, but I’m sure that ranked right below the donut run.

When I lived in Maryland, the State Police had unmarked car and trucks that didn’t do anything but drive normally down the road. There were two cops in the car and they filmed the traffic and called in all sorts of bad driving. It was amusing to to see some idiot, who was cutting in and out, suddenly reform as we would pass a state police car on the side of the road. Only to have that cop throw on the bubble gum lights and take him for a “time out”. The Washington Post ran several stories about it. And, it did have a calming effect on the regular folks.

But, that is NOT the purpose of the state police. Revenue raising is. So we will have meaningless radar traps as opposed to doing something to protect and serve the folks.

Arghhhhhhh!

P.S.: Dear reader, I don’t write these every day. Just when I ARRIVE early for work, particularly agitated aggravated and have to wait for my employer workstation to get online.

RANT: Hey Governor Corzine … … still wanna hear about state cars? … (continued) …

You don’t? TOO BAD!

This morning 14 December at 0645 est on Route 1 by the Stop’n’Shop … …

… … a white state police suv SPA145A … …

… … raced by the standing traffic at the light on the right hand lane … …

… … No red/blue lights. It didn’t look like it was even equipped with them. What kinda of SP was this?

… … (I admire that the person timed the light perfectly. Anyone running the light, right turning on red, or late in the opposite direction would have been killed! But it was timed perfectly.) … …

… … down route 1 at a between zero and what seemed to be over a hundred (Your serf speed limit is 55)

… … of course the statist road system, with myriad lights to slow the serfs down, allowed us a better look at the state car when we caught up.

… … All that serf traffic just meant that it was tailgating the poor peon in his way all the way down.

… … It did observe the unwritten rule of the powerful “never leave the left lane”!

… … (Do you teach them to do that, or is that a qualification for working for the state of nujerzee!?)

… … And once freed of the serf, when last we saw it, it was flying down route 1, hurrying to get to I assume trenton to protect and serve me.

Arghhh!

[For those not familiar with the NJ roads. State “workers” proceed straight down route 1 to the golden dome of corruption. If you come later in the morning, then it’s not unusual to see “lots” of state cards commuting to the state jobs by the state ’employees”. It particularly ticks me off to know that I am paying for the road, the traffic jam, and the bad driving of my “servants”. Arghhh! That’s one reason I like to commute early; I can’t afford to have a stroke because I couldn’t afford the death taxes.]

Arghhhhhhh!

This morning 13 November at 0707 est on Route 295 milepost 47 … …

… … a white truck td 4754 a … …

… down route 295 at a leisurely 80 (Speed limit for the unwashed is 65)

… in lots of traffic

… tailgating the poor peon in his way

… never left the left lane

… oh did I mention it was blinding rain, no not just a shower, buckets,

Any way I am sure that he was hurrying to get away from trenton, the scene of the crimes against the people, to protect and serve me somewhere further south.

Arghhh!

Arghhh!

It was particularly amusing since the same car speed past me again (It was deja vu all over again); left lane of course; on Rt295 south around exit 67; but now he has coffee (guess he stopped at dunkin); I guess he didn’t have any cell phone calls to return; OR maybe he missed the non-turn to Trenton.
