As I was driving through town, I noticed something in the distance gleaming in the morning sky. It was a gas station’s digital sign proudly displaying the figure $1.999 for a single gallon of gasoline. I had read that across the United States, there were some areas already below the $2.00 mark but our local […]

While experiencing our current economic downturn, a rising tide of alarmist reporting has been unleashed upon our society. While I have written several articles describing a potentially dreary and disastrous outcome if our society and government did not act rationally and quickly to avert an even greater crisis, I have intentionally not written about the […]

Publivacy

Today’s new word is…. Publivacy. Have you figured it out? Ok, well it’s a mixture of Public and Privacy. They are two VERY separate words by definition. However, our current society has mixed them together where public has basically overtaken our privacy. Sure, we think we have privacy, but where exactly do you think you […]

I noticed a story online the other day regarding a ruling by a federal appeals court that got me to thinking. The ruling determined that the US Treasury was violating the law with the current monetary notes. Now, I don’t know the complete history of our paper currency in how it was designed and created, […]

How informed do you believe the customers are in this country? Do you believe we are well informed as a society on what we purchase? Do you think we are below average, adequately, or something else?

Additional Product Content

It’s time for my first product rant. As you will see, this will be like my other articles, about something, but not really about something. It’s about viewing things from an alternate perspective and thinking outside the preconceived notions that the powers that be assume we adhere to.

Well, let’s talk about barrels of oil. Or maybe it’s barrels of cash, or should it be gold or even diamonds? Today, the price per barrel of gold almost hit $120 per 42 gallon barrel of oil. That equates to about $2.85 in base price per gallon of crude oil. Now, only about 50% of […]
