I found this on a comment page today and liked it enough to share with all 12160ers. It hits home with me, I work in the public school system and can only shake my head in disgust at how far it has fallen even since I graduated back in 1996.

Subject: 1957 versus 2007

The police state continues!  In Houston, TX you have to have a permit now in order to try and help your fellow man!  That's right, you have to have a piece of paper approved by the city of Houston before you feed others!  I guess the government wants people to come to them for help, dependence right?! 

If you step out of line and rock the boat then, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"

I enjoy The Burning Platform and the dialogue on the comment section is usually very heated and educational.

Jim Quinn is the author who connects the recent shootings in Tucson, Arizona with his recent first viewing of the movie "V for Vendetta."  Very good stuff. (to read the rest check out his site The Burning Platform at…

Any statiticians out there that can tell us the probability of this occuring?  Either way this is a bit odd!

Broke States Should Save Themselves By Selling Off Roads, Colleges, And Other Assets, Says Altucher

This article published today by the Modesto Bee is a red herring for me. This whole political circus with this city and the ridiculous salaries of its public servants is just what's needed to condition California residents to what is to come.

Here's the article:…

Support the First Amendment with 1 for All

When life-giving rain falls from the sky and any government tries to tell me I cannot collect it for whatever reason...the time is near for the people to say enough is enough. If we aren't careful soon the air we breath will cost "credits!" Sorta like that part in the movie Total Recall when the fans blowing the air into the colony on Mars are turned off. Guess you didn't pay your breathing bill did you?!! Too bad for you! Hurry up and suffocate already! Good riddance...one less…

Recently Damon Vrabel was interviewed on the Keiser Report. Very cool guy....Here is a link to his blog. Below is a fine example of his intellect and understanding of what is occuring in our current geo-political environment.

However, the breaking point will be sudden and anything but gradual. (what…

Have you ever read something and the question “What is this article really about?” popped in your head! Well as I began to read the article below I couldn't help but question the latent function of this article. A latent function is a sociological term which simply means “unintended” or “unrealized” function. I suppose the author only knows his true intentions; however the title of the article suggests that a Bank Tax should be included in…
