At Bully’s, the night RAWC met to discuss the State of the Union by GWB:Russ said that he did not believe in the doctrines of David Ricardo. I asked him if by that he meant the doctrine of comparative advantage. I then explained that the doctrine of comparative advantage means that if every nation or ...
Happy Holidays

Yes. I have been slow to write due to the Holidays. I have been more active on Reason Magizine’s Hit and Run Blog, which I recommend, than my own!I also post emails a lot to www.renopeace.org: the washoeantiwar list.Now, I hope to catch up and get the Market Fundamentalist rolling again.I believe in the fundamental ...
South Park Rules!
Posted on Dec 5, 2006 - 12:12 PM
There were a couple of articles written by Libertarian publications praising the South Park phenomena in the last couple of days. Since I am a fan, I thought I would add my voice to the chorus. The first article was published by Paul Cantor on www.lewrockwell.com and it focuses on the amazing amount of ...
Sunday Reflections
Posted on Dec 3, 2006 - 8:50 AM
I haven’t remarked on Milton Friedman’s passing in this blog yet. This Sunday I will.Milton Friedman was an inspiration to me because I saw a libertarian who garnered respect and admiration from the public and mainstream politicians. Ludwig von Mises was a superior economist, but he never even had a full time paying academic position. ...
Right Answer, Left Reason
Posted on Dec 2, 2006 - 11:04 AM
The Reno Gazette Journal published an article on Friday 1 Dec (link not found) on how the Democrat’s proposed minimum wage law will not due much to alleviate poverty. I couldn’t agree more.The problem is, the article’s reason for that statement is that it is not a large enough increase.I couldn’t disagree more!Minimum wage increases ...
Language Barrier
Posted on Nov 30, 2006 - 7:26 AM
“Libertarian” Chuck Muth is upset because the Republicans will probably not push the English as Official Language Bill Sharon Angle wants. He says Spanish speaking options are OK for a private business, but not for government. After all, where do you draw the Line? Why not French speaking options? Or Farsi?Chuck, what ever became of ...
Right to Work
Posted on Nov 28, 2006 - 7:23 AM
I won a minor victory by resigning from the Teamster’s Union at the airline where I work. I received official notification, after some correspondance resulting from the fact that their dues form indicates this right but has no way to follow through on it, that they will only collect dues for “collective bargaining” purposes, not ...
Chad is OK
Posted on Nov 27, 2006 - 7:04 AM
Chad was on the ground, but got up OK. Jets win, beat Houston.Giants collapse in fourth quarter, lose to Titans and rookie qb Vince Young…Jacksonville loses, Jets still trail KC, Denver for wild card…All in all, not a bad football Sunday.
Who’s your Daddy, Now?
Posted on Nov 26, 2006 - 6:03 PM
Ok, I don’t mind gloating. As far as an election can ever demonstrate correctness, I was right, and the Republicans were wrong. They hitched their wagon to the wrong law and order pony this time, and it turned into a donkey and bit them on the ass…Score: Immigration 13 ...
The Market Fundamentalist
Posted on Nov 26, 2006 - 5:31 PM
I was on another email list –washoeantiwar–access it at www.renopeace.org/mailman/listinfo…and I was arguing against someaspect of the global warming myth…when I got a very good, thoughtfull (but erroneous) reply and in it he called me a “market fundamentalist”… of course, he would be open to being named a “statist fundamentalist”, which I did…But upon reflection, ...
Less than Objective Objectivist
Posted on Apr 29, 2006 - 10:58 PM
Dave S was loud once again at the Carson Nugget. We were there for the Northern Nevada premiere of Aaron Russo’s documentary America: From Freedom to Fascism.There were several tables of people there eating before the movie. I must confess I was kind of glad he was sitting near me, because I anticipated that he ...

Right Wing Hot Air Machine
Posted on Apr 21, 2006 - 5:23 PM
A friend of mine commented last night: The calls on KKOH are all about immigration. That is the number one topic. I asked: Don’t they have something better to talk about than blaming all our problems on wetbacks?“Its the right wing hot air machine. Never discuss the revolt of the generals , the failing war ...
Whither English?

Sure, and “Bill the Butcher” Tancredo and the rest of the Republican Gang are making sure the Foreign Hordes do not enter this fair land to displace American jobs from them that was here first…The Greatest Minds of the Generation-Lou Dobbs, Tom Tancredo, Ann Coulter, Ted Kennedy, et al as Reason magazine writer Nick Gillepsie ...
A vision dies in Carson City
Posted on Apr 17, 2006 - 12:31 AM
The Republicans had their say in Carson City yesterdayBut that’s as far as it will go in this Congress. The vast numbers of immigrants and their supporters marching peaceably against the Tancredo led fanatics have killed any so called “reform” for now.Yes, to paraphrase one sign pictured on the blog site, it was freedom, ...
Immigration Detention Centers
Posted on Apr 15, 2006 - 1:56 PM
The Hitler label is way overrused. Like Hollywood sequels, the political propaganda machines keep churning out the comparisons to the demonic little Austrian house painter.The Right compares every tin pot dictator and rogue state as “another Hitler”. Never mind that H had the most advanced air force in the world, had several other states ...

The most persecuted minority
Posted on Apr 13, 2006 - 11:56 PM
I was yelled at on my shift today. Not by my boss, she is very nice. By a customer, who felt we had made a mistake. By the time I got the call, she was screaming.The merits of e-commerce can be offset at times by folks who cannot read computer entries and relate the meaning ...
