Capping Trade Through Cap and Trade

Posted by Connor on June 26th, 2009

photo credit: sharply_done Like a sugar addict does on Halloween, our federal government is trying to grab everything in sight for itself. This illegitimate acquisition of power demonstrates itself in nearly every executive order, Czarian mandate, and congressional bill; very little of what comes from Washington these days passes Constitutional muster. The latest of a [...]

FDA: Fostering a False Sense of Security

Posted by Connor on June 21st, 2009

photo credit: samuel_y Nothing wraps death in a shroud of legitimacy like the government. Official pronouncements, fiat mandates, and governmental stamps of approval all convince a trusting (gullible?) citizenry that the subject of the government’s gaze is indeed what they say it is—nothing more, nothing less.

Posted by Connor on June 3rd, 2009

photo credit: Mike Licht For his entire adult life, with the exception of a few years of military employment, my grandfather worked for General Motors. His father had worked there as well, both adding their contributions to a growing industry through an innovative, respected company. Known for his problem-solving capabilities and management experience in running [...]
