Aloha and Mahalo CCPro
Aloha This will be my last post regarding CCPro. I've been marketing CCPro as a consultant and have learned a great deal about Internet marketing. In the process, I stumbled upon another business that I began in June. My success with that business has been much faster, much easier, and far less expensive. I love the idea of working [...]
The Line In The Sand
In the first week of March 1836, William B. Travis told his troops at the old Misión San Antonio de Valero, known in history as The Alamo, that reinforcements would not be arriving. He then unsheathed his sword and drew a line in the ground, asking those who would remain and fight to cross it. Jim Bowie, bedridden with typhoid, asked that his bed [...]
I Really Want To Leave The Country
“Big Brother is watching you.” ~George Orwell I honestly don't know how much longer I can take living in this country. The rules, the regulations, the cameras, the police, the wars, the forms, the spying, What the hell happened? I didn't just happen over night, but it seems like I woke up to a nightmare. Just a little less than three [...]
Security vs. Freedom
"The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.” ~Harry Browne This morning a woke up early and took a walk through downtown Honolulu. Even though I'm a night person and tend to work late, morning is my favorite time of the day. As I was walking through downtown, I watched all the [...]
Expatriation: One Way Of Withdrawing Consent
"Obviously there is no need of fighting to overcome this single tyrant, for he is automatically defeated if the country refuses consent to its own enslavement: it is not necessary to deprive him of anything, but simply to give him nothing; there is no need that the country make an effort to do anything for itself provided it does nothing against [...]
Throwing The Bums Out Is Not Enough
“The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.” ~Harry Browne Woo hoo! Hot Damn! Yee haw! Arlen Specter got kicked out. Rand Paul wins, and that woman from Arkansas with the vile name is forced into a run off. If she had completely lost it would have been an "A+" day. Instead it [...]
On Getting The Hell Out Of Dodge: Choosing Life As A PT
"Where liberty dwells, there is my country." ~Benjamin Franklin This is probably going to irritate a lot of my friends, especially the ones who have told me to settle down, grow up, etc. Others of the patriotic, "love it or leave it" variety, will be shocked that I'm actually taking their advice and leaving. Leaving the Greatest Country [...]
The Attack on Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Tea Partiers, And Now Confederates
"I saw in State Rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy. . .. Therefore I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond [...]
On Civil Disobedience: Or What To Do Instead Of Shooting The Bastards
“If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law.” ~Henry David Thoreau "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." ~Claire Wolfe It's getting bad. Most people know it. Even the sheep are [...]
Is Texas Independence A Good Idea?
"The consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin of all that has proceeded it." - Robert E. Lee The Texas Nationalist Movement The Texas Nationalist Movement is growing in strength as it becomes obvious that the Federal Government is [...]
Obama Care, Another Reason To Leave
“If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.” ~Thomas Jefferson Well, the bastards did it! I'm not surprised though, I didn't follow the proceeding on TV or online. I was pretty sure it would pass, but [...]
Inclined To Liberty by Louis Carabini
Inclined to Liberty is a short primer on liberty and the free market. Louis Carabini introduces his book by telling how a dinner with a friend and two professors sympathetic to socialism, and even Marxism, inspired him to write his reflections on that evening’s discussion. The discussion of the class struggle between owners and workers reminded [...]
The End Of The Job: Life or Death?
"Wisdom begins in wonder" ~Socrates I don't understand why people who retire are bored. Did they really find their jobs that interesting? Were they really fulfilled? It's general knowledge (so be skeptical of it) that people die very shortly after they retire. Why? Now that I have no job, I'm overwhelmed with the choices of things to [...]
Schools Don’t Teach You How To Be Rich Or Educated
"Only the educated are free." ~Epictetus I was a teacher for more than ten years. I loved teaching and learning and for that reason I went back to school way too many time to mention. With all this "education" and teaching, I eventually realized that there was a disconnect between education and future success after graduation. I also [...]
True Freedom, Survival, and Learning How To Learn
Ezra Pound "A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him." -Ezra Pound It's quite obvious that things are bad. We complain, we spread the news to wake people up, but in the end, are we still expecting others to do something about the problems? If there is anything to learn from this economic and constitutional crisis, it is [...]
