Argh! If I wasn’t bummed out enough last week and this weekend, everything seems to be changing in the wrong direction. I gotta strange call on Sunday night on my cell phone. It was the fellow’s widow and his kids calling me Evidently he had printed my high school home page and was planning to get in touch. Unfortunately the fates intervened. So they called to give me the sad news with details and I was able to express my sorrow. I promised to pass it along. That took about an hour. I was tired and made mistakes but I was able to push it before fogging out. It makes me sad. You just don’t think of it. Sigh!

Corex, the makers of a little card scanner device, evidently has seen Plaxo and decided to emulate them. It used to be that you needed to buy their scanner to get their service. Apparently that is no longer the case. You may want to avail yourself of the service.
One note of caution: They have been acquired by Rubbermaid. I don’t know how long they’ll be around or how trustworthy they are?

LIBERTY: More “kabuki” as courts entertain the sheep!
Monday, March 12, 2007Church, state and taxpayers
By Cass R. Sunstein | March 11, 2007
***Begin Quote***
WHEN THE government has violated the Constitution, who is entitled to complain? The Supreme Court will soon cast new light on this question in one of the most intriguing cases in recent years, a suit challenging President Bush’s “faith-based initiatives.” The legal issue may appear somewhat technical, but the outcome of the case could have broad implications for the power of the executive branch and for the relationship between government and religion.
***End Quote***
Silly taxpayer, you have no “standing”. You just get to pay for the ‘leaders” excesses. Religion, abortion, war, “social services”, eddykaytion, and on and on and on.
We don’t inquire if the sheep mind contribution their wool for coats, or an occasional “sacrifice” for the “leader’s” dinner table. Do we?
So why do you think you should have a say in how your taxes are spent?
The dead old white guys revolted over essentially a 1% tax. You don’t even know exactly what you pay in taxes. We’re sorry progeny to them.
May our chains rest lightly!

Shannon: Firearms will not be tolerated
By Jorge Milian
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 06, 2007
***Begin Quote***
CORAL GABLES — Randy Shannon has issued a straightforward warning to his University of Miami football players:
Get caught carrying a firearm and your days as a Hurricane are over.
***End Quote***
Interesting. UofM is a “state skool”. Maybe it’s not as much of one as a State University, but only Hillsdale College isn’t beholding to the gooferment.
As such, this brings up so many many issues Like separation of Government and Education? Like the proper role of “non-profit” in a civil society? Like why don’t they pay “taxes”? Like why not treat every corporation equally? Like why we permit the illusion of student athlete? Like why we allow the “skool” to make grazillions off their efforts and treat them like serfs?
But today’s issue is that wonderful tool … Sam Colt’s equalizer … the gun.
I’d say that Shannon’s statement is just flat out wrong.
What he has done is paint a bullseye on his player. Bad people will know they can’t defend themselves. He’s equated the possession of a tool with a bad intention.
If UofM is a government entity, (and it’s hard to argue that it isn’t), then he is an agent of the gooferment, and he has infringed on these player’s rights.
Regardless if they push back or not, that infringes all our rights.
The fact that the liberal media gets all gushy about this “enlightened” policy just proves how shallow they are.

INTERESTING: Interesting atheist’s quote about the never born
Sunday, March 11, 2007http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/dawkins.htm
*** begin quote ***
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
— Richard Dawkins, excerpt from Chapter I, “The Anaesthetic of Familiarity,” of Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder (1998)
*** end quote ***
We, as a society, may well have abort the soul that would cure cancer, bring us peace, or make us laugh. It’s a sad possibility to consider.

AG has less objectionable plan for drunken-driving test
Saturday, March 10, 2007
BY ROBERT SCHWANEBERG
Star-Ledger Staff
*** begin quote ***
Attorney General to drunken-driving patrols: never mind.
In a quick about-face, the Attorney General’s Office issued revised procedures yesterday for police administering the Alcotest 7110 to suspected drunken drivers after 2 a.m. tomorrow , when daylight-saving time arrives three weeks earlier than in the past.
*** end quote ***
Oh I see, falsifying the “evidence” is not acceptable … ever.
Your gooferment in action!

LIBERTY: Socialism is the biggest threat to the American Experiment

The coming economic collapse of the United States
By Michael Hampton
Posted: March 7, 2007 11:58 pm
***Begin Quote***
In summary, the welfare state that the socialists built here from the 1930s (after they destroyed the money supply and created an artificial depression) is going to do the same thing it did when they built it in the Soviet Union. And if their example is any guide, it won’t take until 2040 for the nation’s economy to collapse utterly. It will be sudden and unexpected. It will be horrific. Millions of Americans will die, never knowing what happened. But if you’ve read this far, you will know why: In a word, socialism.
***End Quote***
As a nation, we are heading down the road to a financial disaster. As a people, we have forgotten what made this country great. As an economy, we’ve allowed the political class to sell us down the river.
It would seem that a sound money strategy is the only way to prepare for the rocky road ahead.
We should study the prelude to the Great Depression and the German Hyperinflation as clues to what we will face.
