The Cycle of Freedom

On October 31, 2008 By

A democ­racy can­not exist as a per­ma­nent form of gov­ern­ment. It can only exist until the vot­ers dis­cover that they can vote them­selves largess from the pub­lic trea­sury. From that time on the major­ity always votes for the can­di­dates promis­ing the most ben­e­fits from the pub­lic trea­sury, with the results that a democ­racy always collapses […]

Don’t play …

On October 28, 2008 By

Hey. You. Yeah, you. Don’t for­get to do your part and be a par­tic­i­pant in this upcom­ing elec­tion. I’m not going to tell you who to vote for, just make sure you know why you chose that per­son. Oh, and don’t even tell me you’re too busy. Take a Vote­Hour, that’s what I’m doing!

It offi­cial … I’m get­ting excited about this. Life’sPassion.org is really start­ing to shape up into a big cam­paign.

progress.

On October 21, 2008 By

Some­times, progress comes in leaps and bounds. Some­times — in small pieces. I’m work­ing on a cou­ple of projects, in addi­tion to read­ing through a cou­ple of great books (see what I’m read­ing in my library).
