Shell station on Route 38 at Exit 40 on 295 … $3.99 per gallon. Argh! = $33.44
125.8 miles divided by 8.411 gallons
an unimpressive 14.95 mpgs
Arghh!!!
Maybe it’ll improve?

… … I was slowly passing lots of traffic otherwise I’d have been cruise controlling in the right lane … …
… … tailgating the poor peon in his way (me!) … …
… … I moved over when it was safe maybe a quarter mile tops … …
… … your bozo blew by with a dirty look and maybe a Hawaiian finger greeting … …

RANT: The Social Security scam
Saturday, July 5, 2008http://www.freestateproject.org/node/13577
http://www.freemindstv.com/episode68.html
Free Minds TV July 4, 2008 (EP 68)
At the 22 minute mark of this video, FreeMindsTV tackles the Social Security Scam.
Forced “saving”!
Younger workers are screwed.
# – # – #
They nail a few points but overlook many of the flaws and falsehoods of the “plan”.
* It’s racist. It’s sexist. It transfers money from poor minority men to rich white women.
* It’s inter generational socialism.
* It’s unfair to people who die young; cheats their estate of all their savings.
* Ties into cigarettes and the morality around that. Politicians can’t get us to quit smoking because of its impact on tax collections and life span. If we seriously quit smoking, social security would go broke faster!
* It has been changed by politicians to our determent over time — from voluntary non-taxable to involuntary taxable! What Congress bestows; can and will be changed.
* An American educated economist in the 70s successfully moved Chile from socialistic social security just like here to private system without government control. Much to the people’s benefit. In a country where 70% of the people were illiterate. Amazing how people can understand and manage their own money.
* It has a negative rate of return. Not counting inflation, I’ve seen studies that assumed constant value of the dollar, and estimate the ROI of SocSec at between a negative one and two percent. Figure in inflation and it’s a joke.
* It ties into the inflation rate in several ways. Social Security takes your ‘contribution’ wink wink in more valuable dollars now and pays you back in less valuable dollars later. Then you get to spend your social security check on much more expensive stuff. Since inflation is not uniform across products.
* It give the politicians yet another slush fund. And, employs all those relatives and voters.
* It distracts the tax payer from the real issue — liberty!
Argh!

LIBERTY: gooferment, the meme that kills people
Thursday, July 3, 2008http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2008/07/02/the_ultimate_resource
***Begin Quote***
The greatest threat to mankind’s prosperity is government. A recent example is Zimbabwe’s increasing misery. Like our country, Zimbabwe had a flourishing agriculture sector, so much so it was called the breadbasket of southern Africa. Today, its people are on the brink of starvation as a result of its government. It’s the same story in many countries — government interference with mankind’s natural tendency to engage in wealth-producing activities. Blaming poverty on overpopulation not only lets governments off the hook; it encourages the enactment of harmful policies.

Yup, gooferment, the meme that kills more people than any disease.

RANT: If wishes were horses … …
Tuesday, July 1, 2008http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/grand-theft-society.html
Grand Theft Society
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
*** begin quote ***
A core problem with government is that its managers believe that all reality will conform to their wishes if they issue the right orders, pass the right laws, and put the right people in charge. Reality resists this simple-minded approach …
*** end quote ***
(1) Reality is; laws are wishes.
(2) If everyone agreeed that your ‘great idea’ was a ‘great idea’, why do you need the guns of gooferment to force folks to comply?
(3) Even if your ‘great idea’ is passed into law — with credit to Harry Browne — it will be implemented and enforced with a different understanding and agenda.
(4) Gooferment is aggressive force that not only MAKES me doing something regardless of how I feel about the matter. It forces me to PAY for things that I am morally (religiously) opposed to. Cite the Amish and to a lesser extent the Quakers. And, it forces me to PAY for force being APPLIED to you.

Scratcher lottery tickets under fire

*** begin quote ***
Feeling lucky today?
Then don’t buy a $20 scratch-off ticket for the New Jersey Lottery’s “$1,000,000 Explosion” game.
Your chances of winning the $1 million top prize are Z-E-R-O.
*** end quote ***
Just in case you thought your gooferment was looking out for you?
