The Market Fundamentalist

"Libertarian" Chuck Muth is upset because the Republicans will probably not push the English as Official Language Bill former Republican Congressional candidate Sharon Angle wants.

I won a minor victory by resigning from the Teamster’s Union at the airline where I work. I received official notification, after some correspondance resulting from the fact that their dues form indicates this right but has no way to follow through on it, that they will only collect dues for “collective bargaining” purposes, not for political lobbying purposes.

Thankfully, I did not have to contact the National Right to Work folks as my situation did not escalate.

Libertarian judge Richard Sanders on the Washington State Supreme Court wrote the dissent in the case that the NRTW folks are taking to the Supreme Court over this issue.

Chad was on the ground, but got up OK. Jets win, beat Houston.
Giants collapse in fourth quarter, lose to Titans and rookie qb Vince Young…Jacksonville loses, Jets still trail KC, Denver for wild card…

All in all, not a bad football Sunday.

Ok, I don’t mind gloating. As far as an election can ever demonstrate correctness, I was right, and the Republicans were wrong. They hitched their wagon to the wrong law and order pony this time, and it turned into a donkey and bit them on the ass…

I was on another email list –washoeantiwar–access it at www.renopeace.org/mailman/listinfo…and I was arguing against some
aspect of the global warming myth…when I got a very good, thoughtfull (but erroneous) reply and in it he called me a “market fundamentalist”… of course, he would be open to being named a “statist fundamentalist”, which I did…

But upon reflection, I kind of liked the term. Liberty is about property, and about markets, and I am a devotee of Austrian economics, which is about value …and value is found in prices which are finalized in markets…so, I adopted the term, and renamed the blog…Hope you like it!
