Hey, New Hampshire – Here’s a Summary of How The Democrat Majority Legislature Voted this Session

July 17, 2020July 17, 2020 Op-Ed

Note – look at each vote total and ask yourself “Who Chooses”? Does this diminish MY right to choose for myself or does it enhance the State’s Power in making those decisions for me (i.e., reducing my Liberty and Freedom and others deciding “it’s good/best for you that WE decide”)? -Skip

We Need a New Declaration of Independence

GraniteGrok – and then there were a whole bunch more

June 3, 2020June 3, 2020 Skip

OK, this intro of a project I’ve restarted (and to date, really haven’t settled on a really good name yet) isn’t going to drag on for much longer. But a “few more” became a LOT more. More than I ever thought: More than I ever thought when I finished coding up Version 1.0 of GraniteGrok … Read more

Liberty and Freedom

Through natural liberty people have the ability to attend well to their own interests. That is true when government weighs down the people with the sort of burdens governments are so fond of imposing.

Notable Quote – Ian Underwood

May 5, 2020 Skip

Yep, Grokster Ian gets a two-fer Day today; this one “Why Liberty?” and gives a perfect answer: Every other organizing principle for society begins by denying this fundamental truth about humans: You don’t know what’s best for me, and I don’t know what’s best for you. And so every other organizing principle is doomed to the kind of failure that … Read more

You are responsible for me so I can control you (as I like)

May 4, 2020 Skip

Alternative title 1: Community above the Individual

Why liberty?

May 4, 2020May 3, 2020 Ian Underwood

There are a few ways to answer the question: Why liberty? There is, of course, Jefferson’s answer: That everyone is born with a right to liberty is self-evident. Not as in ‘obvious’, but as in ‘requiring no justification’.

Notable Quote – Goerge Will

May 2, 2020May 2, 2020 Skip

April 30, 2020 Steve MacDonald
