Economic Model Definitions and Discussion on the Repercussions of Such

I see economic terms being thrown around a great deal on this website, and while I do not wish to convey an opinion of any of them, I thought I should give a brief description of them and let the discussion on them begin. I will attempt to give both positives and negatives for each.

Austrian:

Austrian economics would calls for very low government spending/low taxes and free enterprise. It is the "let the market take care of itself" economic model.

Positive:
In periods of good economic times, this provides the most money to the populous which then allows businesses to thrive.

Rand Paul wins PLC Presidential Straw Poll

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has emerged as a favorite among Pennsylvania’s conservative activists. By a wide margin, he won the presidential straw poll at this weekend’s Pa. Leadership Conference.

Paul rose to national prominence earlier this year when he filibustered on the Senate floor to protest the Obama administration’s vague definition of its own powers vis-a-vis drone strikes.

In so doing he took up the mantle of his father, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), whose brand of libertarian Republicanism energized conservative grassroots for years.

Where are the false flags?

I'm shocked and amazed not to see a bunch of posts claiming Boston was a false flag, with someone dissecting a random blogger who interviewed a marathoner who just ran 26 miles and claimed to have heard a third "boom". And I mean, why in the world would they have had a medical tent set up just seconds away from the blast area. Not to mention all the wheel chairs already on location.

It has been less than 24 hours, I'm sure all the conspiracy nuts are still revving up their youtube accounts.

I can't wait...I always enjoy.

Pittsburgh's Conflict Kitchen in the news

I heard this story on the radio a little while ago and I think it is a great idea. Plus, it is making my hungry right now. I vaguely remember hearing about this before but it was a good reminder to hear it again.

Conflict Kitchen serves cuisine, conversation from U.S. foes

Conflict Kitchen is a little takeout restaurant that we run in Pittsburgh that only sells food from countries that the U.S. is in conflict with. We rotate the countries every 6 months or when a different sort of conflict arises.

Today, I took Dr. Paul's advice

What I learned from Dr. Paul is that everyone should do his or her part to spread the ideas of liberty. As a graphic designer, today I took that advice. My nephew and I are starting a t-shirt line. Please take a look at our initial designs!

Fire company sirens

I noticed this a few years ago and never really seeked out any information on it. Fire houses used to have a loud siren that would go off before they would leave the fire house. All of them in my area did it up until about a decade ago (my best guess). Why did they stop doing this? Was it the penetration of the mobile technology, people being complaining about disrupted by it or just getting people's minds trained to not having any alert systems for bad things coming? I don't really buy the mobile penetration thing. Pagers have been out for decades.

Are you a Real Libertarian, or a ROYAL Libertarian?

Land is not the fruits of anyone's labor, and our system of land tenure is based not on labor, but on decrees of privilege issued from the state, called titles. Indeed real estate means "royal estate". Is there a way to sort this out?

Hey, Fox News! Cover This Trial!

...the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell, an abortionist from the state of Pennsylvania. Gosnell operated an abortion clinic in West Philadelphia that, according to Cheryl Sullenger (Senior Policy Advisor to Operation Rescue), was performing illegal abortions to women bussed in from other states even before Roe v. Wade.

Cheryl noted that the trial is currently in its fourth week and as of the time of this broadcast the prosecution was still presenting their case with the defense to present their side later.

Gun Violence, War, and War Video Simulations

There are two antiwar movements the Give peace a chance movement, and the Libertarian one. Whatever benefit is gained in infringing on the Second Amendment is lost from the way it lessens the antiwar clout.

It doesn’t take gun culture to get some of us to kill, Chimps do it and a few badly traumatized Bonobo monkey orphans, separated from their culture.
