The two major economic dislocations from 1928 to 2008

In the 1920 Census, Congressmen were shocked. They suddenly discovered that many of the rural residents in their districts had vanished. Many Congressmen voted into office in 1920 should not have been re-elected because their districts had lost so many people. “How ya’ gonna keep ’em down on the farm after they’ve seen Paree?” was […]

Government’s Perennial Job

Catholic Fundamentalists understand that one of the first functions of any government is to build streets. As soon as streets are needed, someone will emerge to “take charge”. Taxes, or labor, will be confiscated to build them. After people have streets, their government’s second, and more enduring, function emerges. It must keep people off the […]

Government’s perennial job.

Catholic Fundamentalists understand that every government’s prime function is to keep people off the streets. Babylonians had huge irrigation works to keep people busy. Egyptians built pyramids. Greeks erected temples. Romans, roads. The Chinese built walls. America put a man on the moon. These activities kept a lot of people off the street. When we […]

Why no leftist ever wants problems to be solved.

Many on the left make a living from unsolved problems. Energy problems were solved decades ago, with nuclear reactors. The left will not allow them to be built. Private housing kept Americans in better living conditions than any people in history. The left is taking over housing, reducing us to ever lower living standards. America’s […]

Underground, on the ground, above the ground.

We see holes in the ground made by animals that live beneath the surface. After a snow, tracks made by animals that live on the surface are visible. Birds, bats, and insects fly through the air. All these animals are replicating programs living in and on other programs that He programmed for our benefit as […]

Herding the “herd in the bulge” .

The huge bulge in the center two thirds of the bell curve does not contain those who should be mocked by those who, by some tests, are determined to be “smarter” than most others. There are some areas in which each of us is comparatively average, and on some abilities, absolutely retarded. Those who are […]

Is it always bad to have printing presses cranking out money?

Classic economists think “fiat money”, which is produced by government decree, is a danger. Catholic Fundamentalists aren’t so sure. We wonder if the centralizing of production and the subsequent loss of jobs mandates printing presses. We can see one extreme: the government of Zimbabwe printing billion dollar bills that are worth, maybe, a nickel. Obviously, […]

Is the Mark of the Beast closer than we think?

The Book of Revelations makes it clear that no one who is “marked with the Sign of the Beast” is allowed into Heaven. The “mark” either appears on the forehead or on the hand. The difficulty is that no recent governments seem to have actually branded, tattooed, or put RFID chips in or on their […]

The vanities.

Things of the world are important to the worldly, which is why they’re called “worldly”. Vast support structures exist to get people interested in various things of the world. Such concerns include clothing, real estate, transportation devices, wine, food, antiquities and collectibles. Since these sort of things take money, the love of it is at […]

Anchoring a soul.

There is a force that feeds on the precious energy that is in each human soul. It can only ingest a soul that allows itself to be consumed. Sin weakens the soul, and makes it “edible” to that evil force. Many souls allow themselves to be consumed by the desire for physical pleasure. That leads […]
