How to Recover the Economy

Recover the economy? Pretty bold title, eh?

It’s way too easy to misdiagnose what ails the economy these days. Then again, how do you not misdiagnose a condition when you’re seeing the wrong type of doctor? A podiatrist is as likely to catch your brain tumor as a cardiologist is able to treat you for [...]

The Mystery of Capitalism

robschwenck — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:00:00 +0000

I finally got around to watching Michael Moore’s financial documentary: Capitalism: A Love Story. I don’t normally agree with the guy’s points of view, and this movie was little different. For the most part, his “heavy hitting” points fell on me like stardust–contrived and without weight. There were a few exceptions [...]

I seem to remember seeing the actual footage of the Marx Brothers, Groucho in particular, acting out a great piece of comedy, although since I cannot find it on YouTube, it must not have ever happened, right? Others claim it was others, but I don’t think I’d remember Winston Churchill in this video memory quite [...]

Imagine loving Starbucks coffee so much that, one day, the manager approaches you and proposes having a Starbucks installed into your living room. Instead of paying $5 per latte, you’ll only need to pay $0.50! Since you go there every work day, that would equate to a savings of $90 in the first month alone! [...]

Effectively Perceiving Butterflies and the Methods that Catch Them

Something’s been itching at me the last few weeks, ever since I got back from Chicago for the nutraMetrix training there. One of the trainers had mentioned a reticulating sensor (no, I’m not 100% sure that’s the word she used) that we have that will cause us to see doctors and their offices everywhere we [...]

Prime AGE Defense Aims to Counter Effects of Aging

I am one that is amazed by the way the body functions. Each system seeks a balance with all the other systems within the body. When one criteria changes in one system, whether it’s the concentration of an enzyme, the presence of a virus, or a slightly increased pH level, the system changes to adapt [...]

The Not Guilty Plea

A few days in a courtroom on jury duty and now reading two articles in the paper today abnout drunk driving may have just eliminated my faith in the legal system–a faith that has bee tenuous ever since OJ Simpson was pronounced not guilty.

The case I was released from for employment obligaions was [...]

First Law of Socialism

robschwenck — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:06:00 +0000

“Socialism” is being thrown around more often these days as the nation discusses the pressing issues of our society: health care reform, social security reform, corporate bailouts, etc. Those citizen against the president’s “spreading the wealth around” cry in the shrillest voices possible, denouncing the ideas presented as socialist in nature. In response, the supporters [...]

The Wealthy Need a New Venture: The Next Frontier

Looking back on the history of the US, it’s clear that although typical pioneers led the way into new territories looking for opportunity, it wasn’t until people of independent means moved there that civilization was brought to an area.

It was people with money to invest that backed the first caravans, who bankrolled the [...]

What Really Happened Last Week in Montana

I just received this as an email forward and felt it was worthy to pass along. Personally, I’m glad I was not there as I would have probably gotten “confrontational.”
“By now you have probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday. However, there are many things that the major news has [...]
