A Lax Regulatory Culture
Law, regulation, rules, structure, order, justice, fairness, equality – whatever we call the excretion of government – some of us will agree and some will not. From the Code of Hammurabi to the speed limits in Punkin Center, Missouri, rules have given structure and order to the culture of mankind. Hammurabi, as noted in the […]

Jon Stewart – We Need A Public Option
Jon Stewart demonstrates again why the Daily Show garners more Emmy wins than the other shows in their category. The writing is brilliant and Stewart pulls off the theatrics. The health care debate happening in our Congress has degenerated into a lame excuse for legislative action. Polls show that 65% of the population want a […]

Of Bankruptcies and Health Care
My friend, Frank, has big problems – financial problems. Like so many people today, his youth was consumed with self gratification. I remember those days – living like there is no tomorrow.

John McCain wins New Hampshire
Son, I am relieved. John McCain is the best chance the GOP has of getting my vote. No – I don’t support the war in Iraq – but I like to think of myself as a multi issue voter. He has won New Hampshire in spite of Mitt Romney spending a small fortune. Ronmey’s loss […]

Fear Must Not Choose a President
Son, When Benizir Bhutto was assassinated the entire world reacted. When the planes struck on 9/11 our government reacted. We Americans are again afraid. The moment we heard of the assassination all of us took two steps to the political right. Decisions made out of fear are not generally good decisions. But fear cannot be […]

Dave Ramsey, meet Joel Osteen
Son, We have talked several times about Dave Ramsey, monetary guru of Christianity. I have been wandering around the Dave Ramsey Web site and I see a great deal of information on debt management, how to get out of debt, and how to stay out of debt. This man is important in America today. I […]

Dave Ramsey: the good, the bad, and the ugly…
Dad, When my wife and I moved to Nashville, Tn a few years ago we had nothing but some debt, a few barely marketable skills and a toddler. We weren’t sure now the new life we were living together and the new value system that we were trying to implement married the idea of money […]
