    George Rebane Today we have a public service post for all of you keenly interested in how our county’s leaders are making progress on economic development (ED).  This Friday and Saturday will see another conclave of the county’s electeds, staff, media, non-profits, and hangers-on at the Holiday Inn Express doing their best to push the…

  • Par Force – An Uncommon View of the Second Amendment

    George Rebane Today the Supreme Court is considering a Second Amendment case that will have a sweeping impact on our ability to keep and use guns.  The California legislature has before it AB2062 that seeks to proscribe the effective ownership of guns through a back door ruse of greatly limiting the purchase and distribution of…

  • Filecarding the Future

    Evan Jones, Guest Commentator* You have already outlined the problem: I agree with your description and analysis of the limited capacity of any individual. Where I differ with you somewhat is with your tinge of pessimism. Yes, if knowledge is wealth, we have amassed too much for any one man to carry. But we must…

  • A Free-Market Libertarian Immigrant on Obama’s Speech

    George Rebane Senator Obama made a landmark speech last week on race and the broader aspirations of all Americans.  First, it is important to note that I feel privileged in this presidential election year that my country gives equal opportunity for a black man, a white woman, and a senior citizen to equally and concurrently…

  • Our National Priorities – Circuses Űber Alles

    George Rebane While Bill Gates was imploring Congress to raise the cap on H1-B visas that let us import the scientists and engineers needed to keep the nation afloat as a first world country, we have the other view of what actually concerns our colleges and universities as they turn into diploma mills and finishing…

  • Ruminations – 18mar2008

    George Rebane ‘War fades as story’ – now that we are making progress, the media’s interest have waned. But then, why advertize the other side’s successes?  As a story it should/could have faded much earlier and saved both American and Iraqi lives.  A broader look at this by the Miami Herald is provided here. One…

  • Postcards into a Fearsome Future – A Dialogue with Evan Jones

    George Rebane The reader joining this dialogue thread in the middle may want to first read Evan Jones’ piece ‘Who Decides?’ on communicating climate change to the masses (published on Watts Up With That) to which I responded in ‘Who Indeed Decides?’ on Ruminations that drew a thoughtful reply from Evan Jones.  This piece seeks…

  • Ruminations – 15mar2008

    George Rebane Blog does not have to register.  Blogger Art Segal (letorovalleyexcel.blogspot.com) of Oro Valley, Arizona had a brief but illuminating go-around with the town council.  Since he was vocal about which politicians he backed and opposed, the town leaders tried to stifle him by telling him he had to register as a “political committee”. …
