The Real Way Star Wars Should Have Ended

September 25, 2007 — adc

I won’t give this one away – but let me just say that if this is what they had played in the theater – I would have absolutely loved the Prequels and I would completely recant anything negative I’ve ever had to say about George Lucas…

See…I told ya so!

Your Flight Has Been Delayed–And It’s Washington’s Fault!

This is a thoughtful critique of the private vs. public control of our air traffic control system. However, it raises some important issues which deserve more attention. Whenever someone trots out the ‘Profits vs. People‘ line, it is important to recognize this as nothing more than an economically illiterate straw-man. We live in a society of [.. […]

When you see these signs – do you get the joke? (Hint: Seen vs. Unseen)

Part of me laughs, and part of me cringes whenever I see these signs….because they are absolute rubbish. This sign is based on the assumption that we the public are either too lazy, or just too ignorant to think beyond what we immediatly see. Whenever we are presented with this concept: that the government [...]

Thanks to those who’ve served the cause of liberty

I've posted these videos before – and I see no reason not to again. My thanks to all who have labored for the cause of liberty. I think that this commercial could apply to all the armed forces: Below are the interviews from one of my all time favorite shows, Band of Brothers. My wife [...]

20 years after the destruction of the Berlin Wall – Remembering the Victims of Communism

“Liberty, according to my metaphysics, is an intellectual quality, an attribute that belongs not to fate nor chance. Neither possesses it, neither is capable of it. There is nothing moral or immoral in the idea of it. The definition of it is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and [...]

Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged: A Brief Review

If you want my quick advice: This is an important book, and you should read it. You will probably be better off reading it yourself, and drawing your own conclusions – than reading my evaluation of it, since there is no possible way I can adequately address the many ideas covered. Instead, I will provide a [...]

The Broken Window Fallacy II « John Stossel

Steyn: Just to be safe, after reading this column, tear into pieces and ﬂush down your toilet…

Excepts from Mark Steyn’s interesting column on Enviro-Statism: I’m always appreciative when a fellow says what he really means. Tim Flannery, the jet-setting doomsaying global warm-monger from down under, was in Ottawa the other day promoting his latest eco-tract, and offered a few thoughts on “Copenhagen”—which is transnational-speak for December’s U […]

How to begin an argument: Federalist Paper #1

For those truly interested in civics, as well as understanding the foundations of the American system of government – there is no better starting point than the Federalist Papers. It seems that the Founding Fathers (here I am referring to a specific group of people who authored and debated our Constitution) are often portrayed in [...]

What is Seen and What is Not Seen

The Broken Window Let us begin with the simplest illustration possible: let us, emulating Bastiat, choose a broken pane of glass. A young hoodlum, say, heaves a brick through the window of a baker’s shop. The shopkeeper runs out furious, but the boy is gone. A crowd gathers, and begins to stare with quiet satisfaction at the [...]

Greedy-Bastard Economics – Gary Galles

In reality, scarcity is the cause of many of the difficult choices individuals face. However, governments prefer to find “greedy-bastard” bogeymen to blame. This allows governments to play as saviors rather than as the parasites causing the problems in order to benefit favored constituencies at others’ expense. But government has no power t […]
