Businesses Use The Club Of Government To Deny Freedoms … Again
Posted on November 27, 2007 - Filed Under Living Free | 1 Comment
Government exists solely to reward its friends while simultaneously punishing its enemies. This was proven once again in Rochester, MN-
One month after being rejected, a new smoking ban on public streets in downtown Rochester is almost a reality.
The area smokers can no longer light up could be getting even larger by next summer.
The City Council is calling it a compromise.
The medical no smoking area, proposed by owners of the Kahler Hotel, is not as large as it once was.
Original plans…
FDA Quackery Continues Despite Small Progress
Posted on November 21, 2007 - Filed Under Health Care | 3 Comments
Found a fascinating article on cough medicine and kids over at the American Chronicle-
Another example of outright quackery by pharmaceutical companies has finally gathered enough steam to achieve mainstream news coverage: Cold medicines are useless, say pediatricians who petitioned the FDA to ban the marketing of such products to children. Last month, an FDA advisory panel partially agreed with the recommendation, and voted to declare that such medicines should not be used in children younger than six.
Notably, the FDA advisory…
eBay Sellers In Pennsylvania Now Need A License
Posted on November 21, 2007 - Filed Under eBay | Leave a Comment
I’ve been a user and fan of eBay since discovering it in 1997. eBay is the glowing example of what a free market could actually achieve. Sure, eBay’s not an entirely free market, but it’s as close as anything else happening on a large scale. The government has made several attempts at controlling eBay, some successful, many not, but the latest is one of the most onerous. From Philadelphia’s The Bulletin-
Online merchants who sell secondhand items on eBay face a…
Sheeple Still Have No Gravestone 1+ Year After Death
Posted on November 20, 2007 - Filed Under Living Free | Leave a Comment
It both saddens and amazes me how docile we Americans have become over the last 240 years or so. Our forefathers threw tea into the ocean over a a tax of a couple of pennies, but modern Americans are such sheeple that the remote threat of pissing off a corporation controls their lives. Dramatic case in point from the (ironically named) Middlesex Patriot News-
Camren, 6, and Damen, 2, sons of Tammy and Randy Rager of Middlesex Twp., died that night…
The Market Reacts To Google’s Insanity
Posted on November 16, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Webmastering | 5 Comments
Anyone with even a quarter of an eye pointing towards the internet in general or the blogosphere specifically must have noticed that Google seems to have gone insane with the latest Page Rank updates. First there was the specific targeting of specific blogs and websites for reduction and/or penalties in both PageRank and rankings in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). How is it not insane for a search on “John Chow” not to return johnchow.com as the first result? Then…
Have You Got Your Holiday Shopping Wired?
Posted on November 14, 2007 - Filed Under Friday Frugality, Shopping | 2 Comments
Part of the Friday Frugality Series - Previous in series Next in series
Wired magazine came out with a “How To Hack The Holidays” article last Friday and I’ve got to say I’m mighty impressed. Aside from the standard holiday advice and the “expert” tips that are available on thousands (if not millions) of websites for easy finding via search engines, they actually had some pretty solid advice I hadn’t stumbled across before. Here’s a brief rundown of their…
