Gold to the Rescue
Read more at www.alt-market.comWhat these people are lacking is a basic understanding of the bigger picture. Ultimately, this debate is not about raising or freezing the debt ceiling. This debate is not about saving our economy or our global credit standing. This debate is about choosing our method of poison, and nothing more. That is to say, the outcome of the current “political clash” is irrelevant. Our economy was set on the final leg of total destabilization back in 2008, and no amount of spending reform, higher taxes, or austerity measures, are going to change that eventuality.
Renaissance man
Age of specialization over? http://live-free-in-an-unfree-world.com
Renaissance man
Awhile back,
we posted about the importance of striving to fulfill your complete
potential by becoming a true Renaissance
man. While we live in a world that encourages specialization,
a man should seek to learn about as many subjects as he can and
expand his mind to its outermost limits.
Read more at lewrockwell.comCenturies ago,
being a Renaissance man was a pursuit preserved solely for the well
to-do. It was only the upper-classes who could afford private tutors
and expensive books. Today, happily, the spread of technology has
placed the goal of being a true polymath within any man's reach.
A modern man can spend a lifetime educating himself on everything
from philosophy and religion to cooking and music, all without ever
spending a dime. If you desire to enrich your mind without ever
opening your wallet, here are some avenues to pursue, with some
personal recommendations for each. Of course, not everything a Renaissance
man needs to know can be taught in books or on the internet, but
this is a worthy start to supplement your hands-on training.

HUMOR
One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as
a Christmas gift...
The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.
When she asked me why, I replied,
"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started.....
________________________________
My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while
we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'
'No,' she answered. I then said,
'Is that your final answer?'
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...
________________________________
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school
reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his
drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
I asked her, "Do you know him?"
"Yes", she sighed,
"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking
right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he
hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on
celebrating that long?"
And then the fight started...
________________________________
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting
to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had
something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat,
making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she
thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall
grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing
scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into
the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again
I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the
grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
______________________________
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."
And then the fight started...
________________________________
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply
for Social Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to
verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at
home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have
to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for
me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at
the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped
your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'
And then the fight started...
________________________________
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you
to pay me a compliment.'
I replied, "Your eyesight's darn near perfect."
And then the fight started........

I answered, "...because Mad Cow Disease was taken."

Advances are
quickly going to zero. Margins are going to zero for publishers.
There’s no financial benefit for going with a publisher if advances
are going to zero and royalties are a few percentage points. The
publishing industry does minimal editing. The time between book
acceptance and release is too long (often a year or more). That’s
insane and makes zero sense in a print-on-demand world
when kindle versions are outselling print versions.
Most importantly,Read more at lewrockwell.com
the book industry sells “books”. What they need to do is sell their
“authors”. Authors now are brands, they are businesses, they are
mini-empires. Publishers do nothing to help 95% of their authors
build their platforms and their own brands. This would increase
author loyalty and make the lack of a meaningful advance almost
worth it.

Pledge
When
a country works reasonably well – when the schools teach algebra
and not governmentally mandated Appropriate Values, when the police
are scarce and courteous, when government is remote and minds its
business and works more for the benefit of the country than for
looters and special interests, then pledging to it a degree of allegiance
isn't foolish. Decades back America was such a country, imperfect
as all countries are, but good enough to cherish.
Read more at lewrockwell.comAs decline
begins, and government becomes oppressive, self-righteous, and ruthless
yet incompetent, as official spying flourishes, as corruption sets
in hard, and institutions rot, it is time to disengage. Loyalty
to a country is a choice, not an obligation. In other times people
have loved family, friends, common decency, tribe, regiment, or
church instead of country. In an age of national collapse, this
is wise.

... Why a prosperous nation is turning on itself ... Here in the
industrial core of Europe, things have never been so good. Germany's
western flank has become the greatest exporter in the Western world,
second only to China and far ahead of the United States. The container
ports along the Rhine are working day and night to deliver record
orders of German products to southern and western Europe, the US
and especially to China. Shops are busy. Home sales are rocking.
Unemployment has not been so low since the '80s. In terms of growth,
profits and productivity, the current German economic boom has surpassed
even the "wonder years" of the '50s. These are, by several
measures, the most successful people in the world. Yet it is very
hard to find anyone here who is happy about this state of affairs.

How to Get Rid of Man breasts
Get rid of or diminish mortifying man breasts naturally. http://bit.ly/nhe4Dh
90% of teen boys will develop male breast enlargement to one extent or another. And though it normally resolves, it still continues in a great number of men as they grow into maturity. Gynecomastia should not be seen as abnormal, but rather something that is nothing special, albeit undesirable.

Gynecomastia is a problem where men get female breast tissue. Illustrations of gynecomastia might be from moderate, where men may have swollen nipples, to intense with entire breasts develop. Frequently changes begin during puberty.Read more at pointsofhype.livejournal.com

Additionally, some of the grammar and phraseology within the interview

"'When we our betters see bearing our woes,
We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
Who alone suffers, suffers most in the mind,

But then the mind much sufferance doth o�erskip
When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.�

Home on the Range
When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye,
And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and . . . die.
But the Code of a Man says: 'Fight all you can,'
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow . . .
It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.
'You're sick of the game!' Well, now that's a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
'You've had a raw deal!' I know--but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
It's the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit, it's so easy to quit.
It's the keeping-your chin-up that's hard.
It's easy to cry that you're beaten--and die;
It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight--
Why that's the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and battered and scarred,
Just have one more try--it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.

Jesse's Caf�Am�ricain: On Liberty
On Liberty
"We have gathered here to affirm a faith, a faith in a common purpose, a common conviction, a common devotion. Some of us have chosen America as the land of our adoption; the rest have come from those who did the same. For this reason we have some right to consider ourselves a picked group, a group of those who had the courage to break from the past and brave the dangers and the loneliness of a strange land.
What was the object that nerved us, or those who went before us, to this choice? We sought liberty; freedom from oppression, freedom from want, freedom to be ourselves. This we then sought; this we now believe that we are by way of winning.
What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it.
And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few; as we have learned to our sorrow.
What then is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it; I can only tell you my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the mind of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias; the spirit of liberty remembers that not even a sparrow falls to earth unheeded; the spirit of liberty is the spirit of Him who, near two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned but never quite forgotten; that there may be a kingdom where the least shall be heard and considered side by side with the greatest.
And now in that spirit, that spirit of an America which has never been, and which may never be; nay, which never will be except as the conscience and courage of Americans create it; yet in the spirit of that America which lies hidden in some form in the aspirations of us all; in the spirit of that America for which our young men are at this moment fighting and dying; in that spirit of liberty and of America I ask you to rise and with me pledge our faith in the glorious destiny of our beloved country.”
Judge Learned Hand, 21 May 1944

low returns from the stock market, their own insufficient savings
programs for decades, and inflation. I figured that I might create
a Website based on the theme, "never say retire." I have not developed
that site, but at least I set up a department on my Website. So,
if anyone types the words "never say retire," he is directed to
