The Story of Stuff

One of the things that always surprises me when we travel to the UK to visit family, is how we use so much more stuff in the U.S. than everywhere else. I first realized this years ago, when I first travelled there. A large portion of my family lives in the U.K. and when we go there, we live, not in hotels, but in our family home. Which means, for the most part, that we live like natives. In the particular town (a village on the West Coast of Scotland, actually) that means we transport our trash and garbage to the dump ourselves.

Whether it’s McCain, Obama, Romney or Clinton as the 44th President of the United States, we’re in trouble. The New Year barely begun, and we have another bad day on Wall Street, and the price of Gold is knocking on $900′s door. No, things are not good.

The funny, interesting or pathetic (take your pick) thing about this primary season is that “CHANGE” is the watchword, the phrase everyone from candidate to media pundit is saying every few minutes. But look at those four names. 3 are currently serving Senators and Romney a Repblican fave-boy with the Million Dollar smile. What possible change can either of these people make?

I make no bones about the fact that Ron Paul is our only chance for real change. The rest are political insiders who promise more of the same. We’ll continue down the same road to fiscal and military destruction we’re on now. A little heartening is that over 8% of New Hampshire Republican voters voted for Dr. Paul.

It’s a start.

Ron Paul – The 20th (and 21st) Century Thomas Jefferson

Lew Rockwell has an excellent discussion of Presidential candidate Ron Paul’s book “Freedom Under Siege”.

Make no mistake about this. Among the candidates we see in the media every day, Ron Paul is our nation’s only hope for financial repair and security. Fortunately, more and more people around the country are waking up to this fact, but will we number enough?

While you’re reading, for an excellent background on what got us in the financial mess we’re in (hint: it’s happened before), read William Bonner and Addison Wiggen’s Financial Reckoning Day: Surviving the Soft Depression of the 21st Century.
