Yes, it's
wisdom from me. 5 NOV 00: Are You On Drugs? I'm really starting to wonder about you people. If you were worth a bullet I'd kill you all.
15 JUL 00: Am I The Only Person On This Planet With Common Sense? Of course we realize this is a silly question, because I am. Be careful. I was in a really bad mood when I wrote this. Exposure to stupidity will do that to you. If your feelings are delicate, don't read this one.
10 JUN 00: It's hard to be as brilliant as I am. Skip Dogg gets right to the point, the heck with all this beating 'round the bush. Hmmm... how 'bout we just beat Bush? And Gore for that matter.
Here is an interesting column I had forwarded to me and my comments on it. This covers a whole lot of topics, fast & furious.
9 APR 98: Taking Shit In The Work Place. I really think we have all had enuf.
2 MAR 97: Some Cheese To Go With That Whine? I just hate the whining that goes on in this excuse for a country.
Global Warming - Farce or Comedy? Read
my report on global warming, the comments of my socialist leftist
" teacher " on that report, and visit a series of links which
help to make global warming look like the global stupidity that it is.
Global Warming falls under the heading of junk science. More than
anything thing else I hate junk science. It kills me to see people who
think they are educated believe some of this stuff. I have a theory:
The only thing in the universe which is infinite is human stupidity. So
far, I'm seeing lots of supporting evidence.
Read the report Facts
Versus Fears from the American
Council on Science and Health.
Then visit the Junk
Science Home Page which has an amazing number of links related
to global warming. Good thing I didn't find this when I was writing
my essay or I would have written even more.
17 SEP 98: Oh Yawn . . . Klinton & Starr - Starr & Klinton. Who cares?
15 SEP 98: What is going on in The Mirror? Someone is trying to rob me of my fun . . .
10 JUL 98: Why Reporters Kan't Kount Reporters & numbers, why the two don't mix.
If Women Were Really Equal To Men . . . Duh, I wonder what this could be about?
21 SEP 97: UNC's Identity Crisis An overpriced establishment of "higher education" trys to figure out who it is.
The Other Crisis At UNC Laws do not make dumb people smart.
Both Sides Of The Mouth Why is it that the same person who believes . . .
20 JAN 97: I'm Right Again - The Great UNC Rape Caper When is rape not rape? When it never happened.
Questions, Queries and Puzzles A list of double standards that I find rather annoying.
17 FEB 97: Choices, Choices, Choices . . . An observation regarding truth, choices, limits and money as it affects college students.
I'm also opposed to drug wars:

While we are at it, public education & college is pretty dangerous
also:
FIRE -- Foundation for Individual
Rights in Education
There is also the whole concept of privacy and freedom:
U.S.government website
for information about identity theft
epic.org -- Electronic Privacy
Information Center
Electronic Frontier Foundation
Privacy Rights
Clearinghouse
Victims of Credit Reporting
Privacy World Online
And how about all the wackos. I mean all the wackos.
Center for Consumer Freedom
Information and such from other people. How about a DNA data base. Everyone one in a catalogue. Yea, the government would love that.
One of the things we are not suppose to talk about is facts about guns. It's much easier to manipulate people with emotion.
I'm sorry, but I really don't want a Healthcard Passport. Should the government attempt to foist one on me, I'm gonna destroy it.
It seems the Pacific still battling between hot and cold , but how can that be? Global warming is suppose to be the death of us all. It's getting hotter.. that is why is snowed in Greeley 3 times in April, 'cause it's getting warmer.... uh, yeah....
TOPEX/Poseidon finds global sea level change . The problem however, is that the change it finds is very small, and NASA admits that this very small change is much more than will occur due to "climate change" (a vague term for global warming). But wait, I thought global warming was going to cause the oceans to rise & all the land was going to flood and we were all going to die... yea, right...
It seems that frogs have been mutating in strange & bizarre ways, and it's all the fault of humans & their pollution... oh wait, no it isn't... darn, I hate when that happens.

Reason magazine, one of the few other political rags worth the
paper they are printed on.
"Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer from poor people in
rich countries to rich people in poor countries."
-- Douglas Casey
"Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and
car keys to teenage boys."
-- P.J. O'Rourke
"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity
is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the
handle."
-- Winston Churchill
"A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the
support of Paul."
-- George Bernard Shaw
"The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency.
An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty."
-- Eugene McCarthy
"When citizens fear their government, you have tyranny; when the
government fears its citizens, you have freedom."
-- Thomas Jefferson
Extreme egalitarianism attracts the guilt-ridden because it
promises to relieve their guilt . . . It is not poverty itself that
causes guilt for those who view it from a position of comfort; it is
their own complacency, contrasted with the poverty of others."
-- Allan Epstein
When people write books about terrible tragedies of the past, they
often say they're doing it so it will never happen again. While
reading the history of the gulag and the way the Soviets spread it to
other countries, I thought, "I'm not writing this so it won't happen
again; I'm writing because it will." The alacity with which other
countries took up the ideas is remarkable.
-- Anna Applebaum author of Gulag: A History
"The greatest enemies of free enterprise in the U.S. are
intellectuals and businessmen."
-- Milton Friedman
He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.
-- Seneca
Instead of giving a politician the key to the city, it might be
better to change the locks
-- Doug Larson
When buying & selling are controlled by legislation, the first
things to be bought & sold are legislators.
-- P. J. O'Rourke
It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can
stand by itself.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Men have been taught that the highest virtue is not to achieve, but
to give. Yet one cannot give that which has not been created. Creation
comes before distribution - or there will be nothing to distribute. The
need of the creator comes before the need of any possible beneficiary.
-- Any Rand, The Fountainhead
America wasn't founded so we could all be better. America was
founded so we could all be anything we damn well pleased.
-- P. J. O'Rourke
A corrupt people will not see themselves as corrupt but will view
the uncorrupt as abnormal and extremist.
-- unknown
I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money
you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.
-- Thomas Sowell
There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn
well please, and with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to
take the consequences.
-- P. J. O'Rourke
Politics in rich and settled lands rarely puts at stake fundamental
questions. Each side says something big is at stake, but it's usually
no more than a slice of subsidized cheese.
-- Bruce Ramsey
Human beings are terribly easily talked into following the most absurd and dangerous path for no better reason than that everyone else is doing it. . . . [Many examples illustrate] how easily we can be rendered obedient to the current fashion for no better reason than that it is the current fashion.
[T]here was morality before the Church; trade before the state;
exchange before money; social contracts before Hobbes; welfare before
the rights of man; culture before Babylon; society before Greece;
self-interest before Adam Smith; and greed before capitalism. These
things have been expressions of human nature since deep in the
hunter-gatherer Pleistocene.
-- Matt Ridley, The Origins of Virtue
We Americans are an unprincipled nation, when you come down to it.
Not that we're bad or anything. It's just that it's hard for us to pay
attention to abstract matters when we have so many concrete
matters--cellular phones, ski boats, salad shooters, trail bikes,
StairMasters, snow boards, pasta-making machines, four-door sport
utility vehicles, palmcorders, rollerblade skates and CD players for
our cars--to occupy us.
--P.J. O'Rourke, Parliament of Whores
The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.
It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge...
There are no public, as distinct from private, objects worthy to be purchased at the expense of souls. Consequently the interest of individuals is above the exclusive interest of the state. The power of the whole is not to be set in the balance for a moment with freedom - that is, the conscience of the subject - and those who act on other principle are the worst of criminals.
--- Lord Acton - born 1834, MP 1859-65, died 1902
