8 Tools That Will Change Your Life: The Hold On to Your N.U.T.s Book Giveaway
by Wayne M. Levine

Tool #3: Cooperate Without Compromising Your N.U.T.s

Men get angry and resentful when they agree to something that compromises who they are, what they stand for. Men who have developed their N.U.T.s – non-negotiable, unalterable terms, have no problem cooperating as long as they’re not asked to compromise what’s important, their non-negotiable, unalterable terms. Men who have not developed their N.U.T.s are likely to not cooperate at all because they live in constant fear of being compromised – they feel they must defend themselves. But when a man use this Tool, he can show up as the man he wants to be in his relationships at home, at work and in his community.

Great advice. Should have had it decades ago!

INITIALISMS: Car name map to fun

Thursday, December 24, 2009

On a recent trip to AC, I heard a comic do initialisms of car companies that was fast, cute, and funny.

The only one I remember was:

FIAT = “Fix It Again Tony”

Any one know others?

How a Haircut Led to a Handy Acronym
Wednesday, 12th August 2009 (by J.D.)

*** begin quote ***

I came up with a set of questions that I felt would help me really think through purchases – beyond the want or need aspect.

{Extraneous Deleted}

… but finally I came up with an easy to remember acronym…WEALTH.

* Want or need?

* Ego?

* Add-ons?

* Lifestyle?

* Time?

* Happiness?

Great contribution!

INITIALISMS: TANSTAARTHC — There ain’t no such thing as a right to health care

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2009/tle528-20090719-02.html

There ain’t no such thing as a right to health care

by F. Paul Wilson

*** begin quote ***

On a desert island, you still have the right to free speech. And freedom of religion. And freedom of sexual expression. You also have the freedom to smoke or inject whatever available substances you care to.

You do not have the right to three squares a day because there are no farmers to provide them; you do, however, have a right to grow or forage whatever you can. You don’t have a right to a roof over your head because no carpenters live on the island, but you do have a right to erect one.

And you don’t have a right to health care because doctors and nurses and drugstores don’t exist on the island.

No point in belaboring this. Genuine human rights do not require the participation of anyone outside the individual. Anything that does require the aid or intervention of another party is something else. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s not a human right.

*** end quote ***

The author correctly ids the corruption in our language and our thinking.

If you have a positive right, who pays for it?

That is the crux of the issue!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Moment in Afghanistan

Well, Jones went on, after all those additional troops,…if there were new requests for force now, the president would quite likely have “a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment.”

*** end quote ***

This is pretty self-explanatory.
