I saw an amazing chart in The Wall Street Journal the day after JEB Bush dropped out of the race… This chart shows that JEB Bush spent an astronomical amount of SuperPac money and actually lost significant ground. The Journal article reports that Last April, some 70% of Republican primary voters said they could imagine (more…)
I googled “Ted Cruz separated at birth” because I knew he remind me of someone…I think it was actually Mr. Haneyfrom Green Acres, but a picture of the presidential candidate and a weird blob with a face came up instead.

I love Über…I LOVE IT!!!!

This is great! TY JJ 🙂 And here’s a fun fact: “The genesis of the modern police organization in the South is the “Slave Patrol” (Platt 1982). The first formal slave patrol was created in the Carolina colonies in 1704 (Reichel 1992). ” The History of Policing in the United States.
Capitalist society is self-ordering and tipping proves it!Anarcho-capitalists claim that capitalist society is self-ordering. Hayek called it “spontaneous order.” Understanding this concept constituted my ancap epiphany. The premise is simple: arms-length transactions give rise to all the apparatuses needed to conduct and secure them.
I frequently take opportunities to point out to people in my everyday life that all the order we see around us is a function of our voluntary actions and self-interest. Rarely if ever do we see police forcing us to pay for our orders at McDonald’s. The counter-argument inevitably is: “The knowledge that the police are just a phone call away is what keeps everyone acting right.” I disagree, and the custom of tipping waiters and waitresses demonstrates why.
I was a waitress for seven years. In all that time, I can remember only a handful of tips that weren’t fair. I got 15% or more virtually every single check. Why? There is no law that a tip must be paid. None. The waitress could call you names on the way out, but she couldn’t call a cop on you. Why do people tip, and tip fairly–generously even? Perhaps it’s a sense of justice, perhaps it is fear of censure…whatever it is, it is a self-enforcing rule with no legal consequences for breaking it, yet it is almost never broken.
Be sure to tune in for my post-debate show Thursday night….
