Tragedy in Haiti

By now everyone has heard about the earthquake in Haiti and the terrible toll in human life and injury. These people have suffered terribly and are struggling to rebuild their country and their lives.

Please consider contributing what you can large or small to the effort to help them in their time of need. We are all human and need to respond to this human tragedy.

Please note that there are those out there who would use this disaster to defraud people who are trying to help others. There are many legitimate relief organizations out there.

Check out this link about the major organizations.

Thank you,

Life Libery and Property - Essentials of a Free Society

In these troubling and complicated times, society's leaders search for answers to our most pressing problems, but the answers have been there all the time, and they start with the essentials of a free society, Life, Liberty and Property.

These three things are eternally interwoven and form the basis for a free and productive society. It has always been so and will always be, as long there are human beings. Our fiscal policies of late have centered around monetary policies that can only be described as "slight of hand." We are learning (ONCE AGAIN) the
hard way that real wealth is based upon real value, not smoke and mirrors.

Unlike my other blog on antiaging, I do not have any particular expertise or knowledge base in finance and economics, but I have felt for a very long time that something was very wrong in the way our society is operating.

These feelings have been confirmed by what I have learned about the sub prime mortgage crisis and have led to a better understanding on my part about how our economy functions and what economic policies have gotten us into trouble.

It is the classic and timeless struggle between an elite leadership class who just can't seem to resist the urge to tinker with the economy. They believe that a top down centralized approach to economic policy is the path to prosperity. This has proved to be anything but true!

I will comment on this and other aspects of economic and foreign policy and show how such has had disastrous consequences for our country and it's citizens. I invite knowledgeable people to post and comment, but please remember to be civil.

I will moderate all posts and comments, and I ask that if you have a point to make, or criticism to voice, please do it constructively. I will also include many links to article and videos that I feel illustrate my point of view. There is a lot of good material out there and we can begin to educate ourselves as citizens on what constitutes the correct policies that lead to peace, stability, prosperity, and freedom.
