Sonnet 29
When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featur’d like him, like him with friends possess’d, Desiring this man’s art and that man’s …

Hydrogen from Water as a Power Source
I mused on an old blog years ago that we would probably learn one day that there was more energy locked in the water of our planet’s oceans than anywhere else on Earth. I didn’t think this was some great insight, only that I was picking up on what was already known to the collective …

A Quote from Wendell Berry
A Warning To My Readers Do not think me gentle because I speak in praise of gentleness, or elegant because I honor the grace that keeps this world. I am a man crude as any, gross of speech, intolerant, stubborn, angry, full of fits and furies. That I may have spoken well at times, is …

How Calmly Does the Olive Branch
How calmly does the olive branch Observe the sky begin to blanch Without a cry, without a prayer With no betrayal of despair Some time while light obscures the tree The zenith of its life will be Gone past forever And from thence A second history will commence A chronicle no longer gold A bargaining …

Stop Being So Afraid of Everything
Tucker Carlson mistakenly believes that we pay the Congress to “run the country.” Like hell we do, and we should put an end to this ignorance as quickly as possible. We absolutely do NOT want, need, or intend to have a group of people made up largely of CRIMINALS and SOCIOPATHS running this country. WE …

China Seizes all Bitcoin Bank Accounts
Close friends and I have wondered why anyone ever thinks they are going to outsmart a government that is intent on getting its way. A government that has virtually unlimited resources, never needs to turn a profit, and is ultimately backed not only by deadly force, but by nuclear weapons. Cryptocurrency is one of the …

Ben Garrison – The Real Looters
Amen. Once again, thank you Ben Garrison. We’ve seen plenty of looting during the ‘peaceful protests,’ but the looters we saw on TV are amateurs compared to what’s going on at the top. The Federal Reserve no longer consults Congress to create and distribute their debt currency. Not only has the Fed routinely bailed out …

Masanobu Fukuoka wrote an engaging and thoughtful book about this as well, Sowing Seeds in the Desert. I did not hear Liu specifically speak of Fukuoka, but I assume that he was influenced by his work. This is a subject very close to my heart. Regreening the desert with John D.

The Broken Window Fallacy
The Parable of the Broken Window was introduced by French economist Frederic Bastiat in his 1850 essay “Ce qu’on voit et ce qu’on ne voit pas” (“That Which We See and That Which We Do Not See”). He illustrates why destruction, and the money spent to recover from it, is not actually a net benefit …

Jerry Seinfeld once asked his friend George why he kept books that he had already read.

Self-Sufficiency – Wet Shaving
