The National Weather service is reporting that a weak el nino has developed, and could yield the coldest and snowiest winter in a decade.
ABOUT TIME!
Bought a massive snow blower a couple of years ago, and have been able to use it infrequently. Worse, the snows the past few years have not been large enough to prevent going to work in downtown DC, and resulted in my wife and my neighbor using it to clear snow...
This winter will be different!
Now self employed, i get to set the agenda for the day!
COME ON SNOW!

democracy declining
"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." --Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, 1775
Universal ignorance, has resulted in a significant portion of the population who no longer values individual liberties. Values being inculcated to and desired by our youth are limited to the latest thrill, mind altering substance and copulation. Not limited to the youth, I was recently at lunch with a co-worker who said that if he was a woman, he would have sex with anything that moved, and didn't understand why more women weren't of the same opinion.
Dr Walter E Williams has an interesting video available on the internet that shows a three pronged approach has succeeded in altering the taxonomy of our inner cities: 1) poor public education, 2) minimum wage, and 3) welfare have combined to keep the poor dependent on government with limited ability to get out. This enslavement has expanded to larger portions of the country and we are rapidly approaching the culminating point.
I have another friend who has decided that he is 'unwilling to read anything written by someone who is living' ... the implications that the writer must be able to pass the test of time to determine worth. Milton Friedman now falls into this category, and his 10 episode series on the free market and individual liberties is remarkable for it's insight (1980's with limited revision in 1990's) saw encroaching federal government legislation and regulation as significant problem. Today's bailout, Health care, and Cap & Tax are the culminating point.
Action is required - today. I will be at the Sep 12th march on Congress in DC, I hope you will too!
