Contrary to public opinion I will exercise my right to self-promotion.
This was originally titled, Study shows students operating huge trade deficits with Universities
That got nixed however, as the only thing the editor (Jeff Tucker) changed was the title, Will the University Survive?
Digg it!
And for the record, I did watch most of the bowl games between the Peach and Rose — the Peach was so lopsided I ended up watching “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and I cried myself to sleep after USC lost, damn Vince Young.
I vented my disappointment by writing the above piece (some people eat chocolate, others drink… I write).
Man’s Relationship Advice Same As His Hunting Tips:
VERONA, WI—Friends report that HVAC installer Kirk Pulver has markedly similar advice on both relationships and deer hunting. “You have to dress either to blend in with the scenery or to stand out from it, depending on the situation, but either way, you want to disguise your scent,” said Pulver to friends at a local tavern. “You have to find out where they eat, where they sleep, where they pee, and when they’re most likely to be off guard. Then, when you’ve got a clear look at their rack and you’re sure they’re legal, bam! You take ‘em.” Pulver’s associates noted that he has not bagged a deer or a woman in six years.
This reminded me of that guy who, no matter what kind of situation you are in, always has some kind of advice to give. That guy.
And to round things off, I thought this was a great headline for the simple fact that despite similar contents it illustrates just how disturbingly ridiculous products can be if they are merely rebranded: Christian Juggler Regrets Years Wasted As Secular Juggler
Lew Rockwell on immigration:
Caller: What do you think of securing our borders? I’m reading in the Constitution right now, in [Article 1,] Section 8, “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” Simply put, our nation is being conquered by illegals coming over the border, and OTMs — Other Than Mexicans. So what do you think of border security?
Lew Rockwell: Well you know it’s a very interesting point. The immigration policy of the country was deliberately changed in 1965 by a law that Johnson signed, that Hubert Humphrey and Teddy Kennedy (who’s still around) wrote to change the demographics of the country…. This is not a coincidence this all happened … they actually set out … and there were many think tanks writing papers about why this should happen … to change the demographics of the country. I don’t know if it’s a huge social experiment we’re undergoing, but you know … this is the way the government has designed it. I’ll make that point.
The second point is that unfortunately the people who are advocating border control tend to want to put businessmen in jail for hiring an illegal. They want to give more power to the federal prosecutors, more supervision by the federal government, put more people in jail, more cops, more spies and so forth. You know, I don’t think that’s the way either. I must say I’m not entirely sure what to do.
One thing I think we should all be able to agree on is that nobody should be able to come here and go on welfare.
Caller: Exactly!
Lew: Nobody should be able to come here and go to public school, be allowed to have Medicaid, get AFDC and all the rest of these either state or national healthcare programs. That should help some.
On the other hand, a lot of people come here to work. People want to hire them. I wish that we would do a lot to make the cost of doing business here in this country lower so there’d be more people hired, more businesses started, more profits made and more prosperity, but … even though I think you’re making a legitimate point, I worry about the idea that we should further empower the federal government. I don’t think there’s any excuse ever to give the federal government more power for any reason whatsoever! I don’t care what the excuse is. We need to be focused on decommissioning them.
I will just add also in the original American Constitution — the original American Constitutional setup until the Supreme Court changed it in the 1840s and especially after the Civil War — citizenship and immigration were matters for the states. It wasn’t a federal matter at all. So I think that again, the federal government messes up everything it touches and I guess that includes immigration as well.
Host: That is a great answer!
That was a transcript from a recent interview with Karen Kwiatkowski. With any luck, this should once-and-for-all answer the criticism leveled by the guys over at No-Treason and Cato. The question now remains is whether or not Hoppe agrees.
