Open Letter to Carl Wimmer

I wish that I had something profound to say to you. I would love to tell you that there are things I would like to see happen in this congress. I would like to tell you about something that you could improve on. However, I can’t. I can’t because you are doing a great job. [...]

Is It Charity If It Is Forced?

It is the season of giving and many people are feeling a little more charitable than usual.  many of us donate a little more our favorite organizations.  Here where I work we raised money for a coworker whose 1-year-old daughter is struggling with cancer.  It’s a good thing. As I study the concept of charity, [...]

Herbert Takes Over the Reins

It’s about the only thing in the news today.  Jon Hunstman was sworn in as the U.S. Ambassador to China, and Gary Herbert was sworn in as the 17th Governor of the State of Utah.  In my opinion this is a win-(hopefully)win situation for Utah. Governor Huntsman was a moderate.  He was well liked by [...]

The House that Herbert Built

Two weeks ago, I was praising Lt. Governor Gary Herbert for his willingness to stand up against the Western Governor Association.  Yet, today we find him cow tailing to his friends in the Utah Association of Realtors.

Listening to President Bush’s [...]

Macro and Micro Government Power

Michael Williams posted about his opinion on whether local governments should have the right to fine people for unkempt yards. And while, I think that a lot of these city ordinances are getting out of hand, I generally agree with him. Simply put I like to divide the government into Macro- and Micro-level roles. The [...]

Happy Holidays

I said it. “Happy Holidays.” There now all the Christian organizations can boycott this site. Well, they probably already have because it is a site with LDS discussion. But now that I have wished you all a Happy Holidays, I am sure that I have lost you all. I just don’t get it. Sean Hannitty [...]

Paper Money – Final Thought

Just one quick quote before I leave this book as a discussion topic. “It is all the unfashionable Puritan virtues — work, saving, investment — that create the currency.” (p. 138, Paper Money, Adam Smith) Possibly Related Posts: Open Letter to Carl Wimmer Is It Charity If It Is Forced?
