Did you know that, according to the Social Security Administration there was no cost of living increase in 2009 and therefore no increase in your Social Security checks for 2010? What planet do you think our caring government is on? They've cooked the books again. Gasoline doesn't cost more; groceries don't cost more; electricity doesn't cost more...
And, they government is going to force us to pay for medical insurance even though it's a ripoff.
Anarchy is starting to look really attractive.

2009, the new administration.
Disappointing. High hopes dashed! President Obama has made some dumb mistakes:
He commented on the arrest of the Harvard professor before he knew the facts.
He compared medical insurance to compulsory auto insurance. He hasn't held
the Bush administration minions accountable for their misdeeds. Has he blown
his promise?
Change? What Change?
They're going to fix Social Security!

History of the World for Dummies:
Unrevised, unabridged. No worrisome dates to memorize,
no tiresome footnotes, no papers to write, no class attendance required. Unlike
most current history books, this is totally unplagerized and is not restricted
by Government guidelines on the teaching of history.
The study of economics is included in this series because it is an essential
element in the study of history and current events. Don't worry. Economics is
not that hard to understand. And if you don't understand economic principles,
you'll be easy prey for government or corporate flim flam.
Must re-read books: you read them when you were young and
naive. Read them again to really understand the message.

- Animal Farm: "All animals are
created equal, but some are more equal..."
Toward the end of WWII, George Orwell, whose real name was Eric Blair,
wrote a scathing satire on Stalinist Communism titled Animal Farm.
The book was illustrated with characters resembling Stalin, Trotsky, and
lesser contemporary British political figures. The book was so controversial
that Orwell had difficulty finding a publisher and more difficulty in
getting paid—a common problem for unconventional writers.
The book was eventually released in the United States disguised as a
fairy tale and later Disneyfied.
Stalin is dead now, but totalitarianism isn't, nor is it limited to communism
or socialism or any other "left or liberal ism". It has prevailed through
the ages through the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the British
Empire and all other subsequent empires.
All men are created equal, but only if they're white, male, and wealthy.

- History Repeats: Almost 70 years ago,
Sinclair Lewis (author of Elmer Gantry, Mainstreet, Babbit...) wrote
It Can't Happen Here
(now out of print and available on this web site as an e-book). It was
written in the time of the Great Depression, the fascist threats in Europe
and Asia, and political corruption and general unrest in America. It foretold
of internment camps of "dissident citizens" ignoring habeas corpus,
martial law, disbanding Congress and the courts... Sound familiar? The book
was fiction. If you can't find a copy in your library, it is available here
on CD in Acrobat Reader format.
