Are Americans Getting the Government They Deserve?
The last line of my previous post – “Americans deserve better” – has sparked a number of skeptical emails and comments. Let me clarify. It is a popular saying that people get the government that they deserve. This has rarely been more false than in current times. The fact that most Americans are politically ignorant […]
Ron Paul’s Peace & Freedom Message vs. Republican Establishment

Steve Jobs, Greater Than I Knew – We Need More Hammer Throwers
I never purchased an Apple computer. The magazines and publishers I dealt with preferred PC-based formats, so i have chugged along with tolerable machines over the decades (except for the last Dell piece of @#$#@#$@ I bought). I use computers mostly for simple stuff – glorified word processing – so I didn’t feel a need […]
