I am watching the Winter Olympics (and I love the Olympics) but weren't we just calling Torino, Turin? I am pretty sure that every time I had ever heard of this town before the Olympics we always called it Turin. The shroud of Turin which was in the town of Turin, Italy? While I am at it...why does Starbucks insist on calling small/medium/large -- tall/grande/venti? Before starbucks did anyone know what venti meant? And doesn't calling the small size tall count as false advertising? The first time I ordered a "tall" I was fairly ticked off that I had apparently just spent 5 bucks on a small coffee. Calling small, tall is like calling figure skating a sport. Which brings me to this...does this Johnny Weir (ice skater) freak not bother anyone else? The guy drives me crazy...he rambles worse than me. I don't even think he believes half the stuff he says. It sounds like he says stuff just for shock value, to tick people off. Guys like that should not be allowed to talk, they should just compete in their "sport" and not get a platform to speak about anything...other than what they are "competing" in.
So this is my first post ever...and I guess I'll write something more introductory the next time I post. Go USA!! Love those Olympics, man...

My aimless blather written down. Politics, religion, education, entertainment, and life.
"The distinctive principle of Western social philosophy is individualism. It aims at the creation of a sphere in which the individual is free to think, to choose, and to act without being restrained by the interference of the social apparatus of coercion and oppression, the State."
--- Ludwig von Mises

How satisfied are you with President Obama's agenda?
"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others."

Mises
"The usual terminology of political language is stupid. What is 'left' and what is 'right'? Why should Hitler be 'right' and Stalin, his temporary friend, be 'left'? Who is 'reactionary' and who is 'progressive'? Reaction against an unwise policy is not to be condemned. And progress towards chaos is not to be commended. Nothing should find acceptance just because it is new, radical, and fashionable. 'Orthodoxy' is not an evil if the doctrine on which the 'orthodox' stand is sound. Who is anti-labor, those who want to lower labor to the Russian level, or those who want for labor the capitalistic standard of the United States? Who is 'nationalist,' those who want to bring their nation under the heel of the Nazis, or those who want to preserve its independence?"

Quotable Quotes
"The rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich ... ditto for the poor."
- Neal Boortz
"Throughout history, the attachment of even the humblest people to their freedom…has come as an unpleasant shock to condescending ideologues."
-Paul Johnson
"Keynes was wrong when he said 'in the long run, we are all dead.' In the long run, Keynes is dead and the rest of us suffer in a world based on his false philosophy."
- Bill Butler
"In times like these, it's important to remember that there have always been times like these."-- Paul Harvey
"The urge to distribute wealth equally, and still more the belief that it can be brought about by political action, is the most dangerous of all popular emotions. It is the legitimation of envy, of all the deadly sins the one which a stable society based on consensus should fear the most. The monster state is a source of many evils; but it is, above all, an engine of envy. "

Yeah, I'm watching the winter Olympics, but I don't listen to those "athletes" comments afterwards. Really, I could listen to just about everything on NBC with the volume turned down.
Glad to hear you have a blog now. Maybe I'll post something when I get the time.
As far as Starbucks goes. Brew your own or just stop drinking that crap. Starbucks is almost as bad as that cafe those cubans drink. Just kidding brother.
