    A Lot o' Mottos: What are your words to live by?

    "Don't drink, don't smoke, don't cuss, don't chew and don't go out with girls that do..." Words my mother said that I don't live by. :D

    becoming an interior

    I used to be an outside salesman for commercial systems office furniture and would work with our co-located design team on the larger comprehensive projects. I've seen people start as receptionists and such and assist in setting up swatch cards, running errands, admin type stuff. While...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    This country didn't " recently develop" the ideas of individuals being free to make their own way or enter into voluntary associations to better their own lives by their own definitions, that's how it was founded. The idea that government exists to "better peoples lot" is the recent invention...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    If we must tax, why do we tax income rather than consumption? Who exactly gets to determine the "common good", the people who actually pay for it or everyone who will receive it? Why is charity made mandatory and coercive when it should be individual and voluntary? Who decided the...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    Hippy. :) Absent my libertarian utopia, the least we can hope for is to spend money on what are most certainly long-term good things.

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    You have it backwards, none of that is the business of government to subsidize. Any form of energy or transportation or anything else should be left to sink or swim based on its merits in the market. No subsidies for ethanol or gasoline, wind or coal or solar, light rail, buses or cars...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    I don't disagree there are problems with corporate law right now, but remember that corporations are voluntary associations of individual persons, not some kind of alien monster. If there are groups of folks who wish to counter a particular corporation's actions, they should have the same...

    That sounds an awful lot like... individual choice. Based on voluntary decisions, not regulatory dictat. :eusa_clap

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    The questions to ask are why are busses not perceived as "fun" anymore, if they ever were. Why are they not (apparently to the users and voters anyway) economically viable while light rail is? What arguments are being used in favor of light rail, are they the same arguments that were once made...

    The island of Manhattan. The remaining major employers headquartered there are money management and information companies. Their employees that can afford to live on the island are the white-collar degree'd and similar professionals. The shopping and other service-type businesses have...

    Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares

    Scarface, the Brian Depalma one, was on the other day. Not a tie in sight but everyone in a suit, not just the flashy drug guys, had a pocket square. It just made the suits look "finished" even without the tie.

    Fun Literary Meme

    Alexander realized that this landed monopoly of the Greek city-states made no military sense when war evolved beyond the small valleys of the mainland and involved a variety of Asian enemies - archers, light-armed troops, and variously armed horsemen - in the large plains and hill country of the...
