Everything is Number
Mathematicians are useful in their place, but that place ought not to be as planners of the future for all the rest of the population of the world. The totally mathematical mind is a limited and boring mind. There are mathematicians, for example, who are so inept and dim-witted about other things that they can hardly tie their own shoes or know when to go to the bathroom. This is literally........

Whither the Middle Class?
Prior to World War II the United States was the manufacturing powerhouse of the world. At the beginning of the war Churchill referred to us as the arsenal of democracy and we were able to decisively win that war because of our overwhelming manufacturing capacity. At that time, our big manufacturers, GM, Remington, Dupont, Boeing, Douglas, Northrup, U.S. Steel, were able to retool for war production that sustained the free world. Since then, we have dismantled that capacity.......

(Great job stimulus, isn’t it?) The “healthcare” plan advocated by our president by its very nature will necessitate rationed services and guarantee mind-boggling bureaucracy along with.....

The Faustian Face of Modern Science, Part 1
Scientific totalitarianism is certainly not a new topic in the halls of political science and history. Given its bloody legacy of democide (i.e., state-sanctioned genocide, mass murder, and politicide) and its prolific spread throughout the world, scientific totalitarianism remains a preoccupying sociopolitical phenomenon of the 20th century. Yet, few researchers have examined the epistemological foundations of.......

Obama's "Health-care" Death Lists Coming Your Way
This is socialist Obama-talk, and let me translate. Under Obama's plan, some impersonal bureaucrat, based solely on cost to the government health-care system, will now decide whether you or your sick father or mother, die. Do you need a heart operation or expensive cancer therapy to give you a chance for life? Under Obama's plan, a bureaucrat will "calculate" how much this care would cost the government......
