After three years back in college and two degrees, I'm getting on the bus to get back in a flatbed truck Saturday.  I need to get my cash up to around $80K before I entertain finishing my first bachelor's degree (24 more hours) or my BS in Economics (50 more hours).

I'll spend the summer with the Innocence Project through a local law school here in the Dallas area, working with law students on the Internet to examine a case for overturning a conviction.  I'll apply what I can to Irwin Schiff's case.

I am hearing opportunities pitched to me to invest in media from around the movement.  I should have up to $20K ready to invest this next year.  My main interest is in script development of a pro-libertarian sitcom with a Leave It to Beaver flavor of moral libertarian teaching.

Most respectfully,

Corporate Marxism

A few months ago, I was sitting outside one of my classes at university with my professor and a few other students, waiting for the previous class to end and clear out, when I asked if "Corporate Marxism" is a known term to describe what we are experiencing in America today?  She had been degreed in the study of pure Marxism and related that she had not heard the term used before.  As I try to find terms to accurately describe our issues, I guess I'll coin the term here.  The corporation has married the collectivist state and is enslaving you and me to that unholy union.  It's nature is Marxist because there is a badge and a gun tied to it:  force/ violence;  and it contains all the elements of The Communist Manifesto.

Musings of A Central Bank Strike for Pay Raise

The U. S. Inflation Calculator on the Internet indicates price inflation of 121.4% since I got out of high school in 1984.  My pay in relative terms has only risen 75% across all occupations I've tried and examined during that time.  Maybe I just need to go on strike at the Central Bank.  Monetary inflation always outpaces price inflation, and price inflation always out paces labor wages.  I'm just sooooooooo sick of this dynamic in Keynsian-Marxist economics.

The Basic Value of Life

Well, I did my first 10 1/2 hour day at welding .052 flux cord, building rail cars for the railroad yesterday, and I got a good light burn on my left side.  My eyes are slightly burned but ok, but I know this thicker welding wire is a killer to eye health.  The only people who seem to thrive at this place are convicts, so I'm not too impressed with 118 degree F work this summer being a career starter.  This is the place where my best friend from welding school quit after about a month of heat last summer and died in his sleep three weeks later.  He was five months younger than me.  I've had insomnia since I started this job, so in total my body is telling me that this job (career) doesn't seem to be for me.

Two years of welding school for nothing more than a piece of paper to hang on the wall and a dead end life experience.  I guess I'll see about going back over-the-road in a truck.

Oh, I guess it's not that bad.  I am 24 hours from my first bachelor's degree, and law school or a master's in social economy is that much closer.  Who knows where it will all wind up?
