Are Settled Class Action Suits Scams?
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, November 5, 2009)

If you are thinking about filing a class action suit, find an attorney who understands that if s/he is unable to negotiate a substantial award for each member of the settlement class, that you will insist that the suit be taken to trial; otherwise, you are merely involving yourself in a lawyerly boondoggle in which the lawyers will use your misery to enrich themselves. If your lawyer is not going to get you and your colleagues substantial awards, at least make sure that s/he does not get any either.


Libertarianism & Abortion
by Alexander Massa (libertarian, November 5, 2009)

"People ask an expectant mother how her baby is doing. They do not ask how her fetus is doing, or her blob of tissue, or her parasite. But that is what her baby becomes as soon as the child is declared to be unwanted." - Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) (The Revolution: A Manifesto, by Ron Paul, p. 59-60)

The Purpose of Money and the Dangers of Fiat Currency
by Nick Sheedy (libertarian, November 3, 2009)

Money is a tool: a means of exchange, a standard unity to measure value, and a means to store wealth. There are certain dangers associated with money being limited to a fiat currency. And if the Federal Reserve's inflationary monetary policy was more widely understood, people would demand a return to sound money.

Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest in Higher Education
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, October 23, 2009)

As an elderly, former university professor, I am deeply anguished whenever I come across shameful academic writing. Such writing not only exposes the inability of the writer but it exhibits the extent of decline in American university teaching and is a symptom of a decadent civilization. Institutions that employ these writers have abandoned the classical educational ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty for belief, greed, and exploitation. And not only Americans but the whole world is paying a horrid price for it.


Nobel? That's No Prize
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, October 22, 2009)

Excellent journalism was never a priority of Joseph Pulitzer's, and the prizes reflect it. So does the mainstream press which is yellower than ever in both the conventional journalistic sense and the colloquial sense of cowardly. Even worse, however, are the Nobels. They are almost always given to those committed to Western civilization and Capitalism. So now Obama has gotten the prize. Why was it awarded to him? Because he is a protector of the economic status quo and a hegemonist—a true child of a decadent civilization. The deadly arms manufacturer would be highly pleased.

Abolish the Federal Department of Education!!!
by Jake Towne, the Champion of the Constitution (libertarian, October 20, 2009)

"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it required no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." - Thomas Jefferson, 1787
