'Nuff Said



We human beings always seek happiness. Now there are two ways. You can make yourself happy by making other people unhappy--I call that the logic of robbery. The other way you can make yourself happy is by making other people happy--that's the logic of the market. Which do you prefer?--Zhang Weiying 


Mom saw "Abby" with the girls night out and liked it.
The baby shower is today, earlier than advertised, so we are in a rush. Mom has an early meeting first. We'll be hustling to get there on time. Overnight in Harrisburg.

Henry Sidgwick, the nineteenth-century English philosopher and economist, has been validated by subsequent experience: “I object to socialism not because it would divide the produce of industry badly, but because it would have so much less to divide.”

[E]nvironmental preservation is often used as an excuse for protectionist pressures that will further impoverish poorer developing countries. Similarly, policies to enforce drastic reductions in carbon emissions in order to reduce climate change and to respect the exigencies of the precautionary principle will also hit developing countries particularly heavily. All these policies that are advocated in the name of sustainable development represent, in the end, a new form of imperialism: an attempt to control markets for the benefit of the producers of Western industry and an attempt to impose the preferences of affluent groups in rich countries on other countries whether they like it or not.--Beckerman

But this attitude denies that some of us just understand things better, that some of us are born to persuade and/or lead.


On September 21, 1780, during the American Revolution, American General Benedict Arnold meets with British Major John Andre to discuss handing over West Point to the British, in return for the promise of a large sum of money and a high position in the British army.
