Last week, two competing crypto currency conferences took place in Miami Beach, Florida. Bitcoin is the more well known crypto currency, while Monero is considered by many experts to be the most anonymous crypto. Allan Tépper of TecnoTur and radio CapicúaFM was official media at the first ever MoneroTopia conference, […]
To those concerned about the freedom of the Cuban people, Cubans have courageously taken to the streets of the Marxist-controlled island, demanding their long-overdue freedom on a scale not witnessed in decades. These protests spread so rapidly that the Communist Party’s censors struggled to grasp the magnitude of the uprising. […]
Part of how the two parties maintain the illusion of opposition to each other is by publicly taking positions on opposite sides of oft discussed issues, even though there is very little difference in what they do when in office. One of the simplest such issues is fiscal responsibility. While our government is constantly running up the debt, most well reasoned individuals innately understand the folly of it because we are constantly working to pay off our own debts and avoid new ones. We know and understand the basic math that says you cannot endlessly spend more than you make without facing some very negative consequences...
The term license has several meanings; all are related to the control, or self-control, of individuals in society.
Liberty of the individual is not without certain limitations imposed by Natural Law, i.e., relationships consonant with human nature. When human behavior becomes licentious and uncontrolled, it destroys the subtle working relationships that define liberty within a Commonwealth of human beings. Unlimited freedom to act, i.e., the state of social or political anarchy, if tolerated, would reduce humankind to the law, or rather the apparent lawlessness, of the jungle. Humans have the potential to become inhuman, i.e., “red in tooth and claw.”
The Trump administration drops Obama-era easing of marijuana prosecutions. This will result in the Federal Government actively going after states where marijuana is legal. "The action by Attorney General Jeff Sessions could have damaging consequences for the burgeoning marijuana industry in the six states including California and Colorado that have legalized the drug for recreational use, plus dozens of others that permit medicinal use." 1 The Republican Party runs on the platform of small government and state's rights, yet this goes against both of those issues. On one hand, big brother is telling law abiding citizens what they can and cannot ingest. On the other, it is penalizing states over decisions its citizens made for themselves. Government overreach on both fronts...

The recent release of files related to the JFK assassination has brought to the forefront more troubling reminders of the lack of transparency in our government. This issue pervades at many levels, but in state and local governments the obstructions to becoming informed are usually limited to the procedural. Given an understanding of the law, patience, and sufficient resources, you can usually get whatever information from government records you're looking for, even if they'd rather you not see it...
Most folks who claim to advocate for smaller government tend to extol the virtues of the free market, but then often contradict themselves with support for protectionist policies. Protectionism's goal is to avoid a free market where all parties can operate as efficiently and unrestricted as possible, and instead to stack the deck in favor of our domestic businesses. Since our government has no way legal way to directly do harm to foreign businesses and make them less competitive, protectionist laws only serve to harm the American consumer who otherwise enjoys the foreign product at its intended price...
