Naked Underneath

Whilst on Rincon beach (Bates) in September, I was cited by officer W.A. Johnson for public nudity.

Afghanistan, Afghanistan

Afghanistan, Afghanistan, what’s a President to do? All his options are bad ones. Raise the troop levels and give the Taliban a run for it’s money? For what? To support a corrupt aristocracy? Bad idea. So should he keep the troop levels the same? That just places the soldiers already there in harm’s way, and for no good purpose whatsoever. So should Obama withdraw? Then after the Taliban win, Al Qaeda will be free set up shop and plot. You can be sure that Obama will be blamed for anything they do, and called a coward for running away from a fight. The people taunting Obama will be the same crowd currently faulting him for supporting a nation that won’t lift a finger to help itself.

The Three-Percent Revolution

What is transpiring? Clearly a massive transfer of wealth and power from the most productive and resourceful to the poorest and non-productive.
