   Though I believe there is some truth in the writing of Ayn Rand, her works are not representative of libertarianism,by a long shot.Try some Hayek, Fredric Douglas or Henry Thoreau. Regulation is, like any business, only as good as the people administ...

   Is no one else disturbed by the fact that experienced nurses are being forced to get BSNs to keep jobs they have been doing for years? Where are out unions and professional organizations on this? If they were truly representing the best interests of ...

    Even in that "horrible" Gilded Age things were steadily getting better for the common man. Markets respond to the public interest and generally gets it right. Those who aren't right go out of business. Centralized planners tell the public what its ...

    I only hate collectivism, or the notion that individuals should be forced to participate in whatever the powers that be decide is the common good. Affordable Health Care would be great. I'm OK with labor organizations as long a participation is vol...
