  • More Problems from Government Solutions

    Mike McDaniel As long as we look to the government for solutions there will always be a problem. I would be a hypocrite to be a financial advisor and not believe in free market capitalism.  Anyone invested in the markets must believe in free market capitalism.  A characteristic of our free market system is the…

  • Building a Stronger Sierra College: The Profound Choice in this Election

    Aaron Klein, Trustee It is a great privilege and a high honor to have represented you as your Sierra College Trustee for the last four years. We’ve accomplished a lot, but we’ve still got more to do, and that’s why I’m running for re-election. Thomas Jefferson summed up why I’m so passionate about public education,…

  • The Bailout Bungle

    George Rebane The Community Reinvestment Act will turn out to be one of the IEDs (improvised economy destroyers) that Congress buried long ago in the financial fabric of our country.  Now what it spawned has gone off. Throughout the history (since 1977) of this great piece of social engineering, people of goodwill from both sides…

  • Liberal Tenets – Take 2

    George Rebane My belief tenets of the Educated Liberal (EL) received a thorough comment by an educated liberal friend and correspondent.  The 39 listed tenets were in two groups – the first 29 were derived from my own experience and people of a similar outlook, and the last ten were from G. Stone, a liberal…

  • The Educated Liberal

    George Rebane In the heat of this election season I recently finished a lengthy exchange with a long-time, much younger, and well educated friend.  He sees himself as a left-leaning libertarian, who wondered again how anyone with two brain cells to pound together could be an intellectual and Christian at the same time – well,…

  • Bouncing Toward ‘Why?’

    George Rebane The ancient Vedic philosophers taught that the universe was cyclic and very old.  Its age is measured in kalpas for which the Vedantic derivatives of Hinduism and Buddhism have a variety of spectacular definitions.  From my late teen years, my own favorite is the length of time it takes a granite cube, 25…

  • Sarah Goes Hunting

    George Rebane Sarah, the most recent addition to our little family, has now become the Great Black Hunter – well almost.  She arrived from the Animal Shelter with a case of the sniffles which was going around in the facility.  But a couple of trips to the vet took care of that with daily doses…

  • Ruminations – 20sep08

    George Rebane Bush lied about Saddam’s nuclear program?  Well, according to the Associated Press, reported by no less liberal medium than MSNBC on 5 July 2008, Bush didn’t lie.  It turns out that 550 metric tons of uranium bearing ‘yellowcake’ – you know, the stuff that Iran is now spinning the bejeezus out of to…

  • Ruminations – 18sep08

    George Rebane The turmoil in the financial sector has resulted in insane markets that swing +/- 5% in a day.  Today’s massive sigh of relief was the result of the US Govt indicating that it will put in place an oversight institution (remember the Resolution Trust Corporation) to make sure that more big financial companies…

  • Tax and Bribe Programs

    George Rebane California is trying to come up with a budget that will fill a $15 billion budget shortfall.  The battle lines are the same ol’ same ol’ ones we have witnessed so many times before.  The voters are of little help in this mess since we stopped teaching civics in high school at least…
