Originally in American Thinker, March 27, 2011 The room buzzes with little voices. Little children engage in “mature, dramatic play.” An adult helps the children “regulate” and “monitor each other’s compliance” with “rules and assigned roles.”1 Each child knows his or her place. Each child does the group’s bidding, nothing else. Orwell’s 1984? No, a [...]

In keeping with my recent focus on environmental nut-jobs hell-bent on de-developing the United States and “saving the planet,” we go to PBS station WGBH in Boston–yes, the same station that produces This Old House. WGBH approached Annie Leonard with a proposal. Leonard is the creator of the venomous, lie-filled, anti-capitalist, anti-American video, The Story [...]

Originally in American Thinker, October 6, 2010. Humans have angered Mother Nature. Our species must stop multiplying, give up our addiction to huge-screen HDTVs, stop eating so many steer, and travel on twenty-pound electric tricycles forty miles at a time between charging stations.

Nowadays, winning the Nobel Prize in economics recognizes one’s talent for embracing the arrogant, condescending attitude of a big government, central planning elitist. Nobel laureate and New York Times resident sage Paul Krugman illustrates the point. I’ve discussed Krugman’s ideas here. Today let’s turn to a reliable source of progressive foolishness, Financial Times. FT brings [...]
Federal Obese Police want to collect data, that’s all… yeah, that’s it, just collect data

If passed by Congress, a new bill would require private health care providers to measure the “body mass index” (BMI) of 2-18 year-old patients and report the data to state governments who must report the data to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for analysis. Such a law would be problematic. The probability [...]

Corporations pay zero income tax. Corporations send checks to Uncle Sam. But the checks simply reflect the additional revenues that the corporations must collect from consumers in the form of price adders required to fund those checks. If you’ve never thought about corporate taxes in this manner, now would be a good time to start. [...]
