November 25th is the birthday of economist and comedian Ben Stein. His unscripted monologue on economics from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is one of the most memorable scenes in American cinema.

Well Hugh, What JC describes is pure citizenship. If we had a lot more of that, we would only have to prep for natural disasters. I do what JC does, but I do it from my Rotary Club. I am complimentary and polite at the tax office, election office, school office, city hall, and building department. My truck got stolen and returned a year later. The nice lady at the tag office just took my word for it and over-rode the extra fees for not having a tag. I was pulled over for no seat belt last month. Driving a …

JWR’s License Plate Collection I have started collecting license plates from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. My goal is to collect pairs of modern (recent issue) plates from all 50 states (or single plates from “one plate states like Florida and New Mexico.) I’m also interested in getting unusual plates, such as trailer plates, “Permanent” plates, and truck plates. And I also collect novelty front license plates that show state flags, branches of military service, and so forth. For your privacy and mine, please DO NOT send me any e-mail mentioning particular plate numbers. Also, put my address in both …
As we prepare our lives for the unknown, the various categories needing attention are overwhelming. Many start with the obvious: water, food, security, defense, and self-reliance. Once we secure our basic survival needs we almost all come to the same next dilemma: money. How do we shelter the fruits of our labor from the coming storm? Retirement accounts are among the largest asset for the average American. Many people have five and six figure sums of money in these accounts. Whether you’re concerned about a currency collapse, government theft, or complete societal breakdown, finding a good home for these …
Crimson Trace is a Wilsonville, Oregon based company that sells laser sights and weapons lights. They have two basic strategies to attach them to firearms– dedicated ones that work with a particular model gun and universal ones, which will attach to the rails found on more and more of today’s firearms. The dedicated laser sights for handguns are subdivided into two variants– ones that are attached to the handgun’s grips and larger ones that attach to the front of the trigger guard. The ones that are part of the grip offer the most compact package and can often be used …
This is an easy turnip recipe we love. It’s from The Redwall Cookbook by Brian Jacques, but I tweaked it just a little. (The Redwall series of books is geared toward upper elementary/jr. high students.) The name of it is almost as good as the recipe! Ingredients: 2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and chopped (all amounts are approximate; we rarely make this exactly the same twice.) ½ lb. carrots, peeled and chopped 1 lb. turnips, peeled and chopped 12 Tbsp. butter/margarine, divided 1-2 cups grated cheddar cheese salt and pepper to taste (we only use pepper) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 …
Hugh, I don’t have much experience with how the police works, considering I am only a few years older than the kid in the article. However, as a person who plays airsoft, paintball, and likes guns, I am interested in the article and your opinion. I recognize the fact that the kid had taken off the orange tip on the gun, and a good rule of thumb is to leave it on (unless you like to mod weapons like me; then you can’t help it.) Did the police have any right to shoot the kid? Come on! He is 12 …
