Poverty in America: Over 35 Million Living Below the Poverty Line
1 June 2008The problem of poverty in America comes as a surprise. How can a wealthy nation experience poverty? Though the rate of poverty is lower in a developed nation like America than in Africa, the problem of poverty is real. Inner-cities and rural communities in America are all affected by poverty.

Swastika Law Stupid
16 May 2008New York State has passed another dumb law. This time a new “swastika law” has been passed. Basically, anyone caught defacing property in any way without permission using the Nazi swastika symbol can now get up to four years in jail.

“Legal” Theft by Government
4 November 2007Those of the libertarian bent are often accused by statists of overreacting to the predations of government. “We are the government,” they say, “our elected officials are only doing the things we elected them to do, so what’s the problem?”

14 October 2007J. Edgar Hoover and LBJ used to enjoy watching Hoover’s agent filmed blackmail evidence for all Washington movers and shakers and we are now a lot more aware of the nature of the unelected Tyrant who rulled for five decades.

Cleaning Schools and Hospitals - A Simple Overview
13 October 2007In principle the cleaning arrangements for schools and hospitals should be relatively straightforward.

If the contractor cannot sustain the correct level of cleaning then another is brought in. This is the situation in the commercial […]
Fitness Workout - Exercising the Present Moment!
13 September 2007Living in the past or the future takes away the many wonderful experiences available in the here and now.

Nothing […]
