Ever since Trump announced his intention to run for President of the United States I’ve had this feeling in the back of my mind that he had ulterior motive for running. I didn’t think it was anything nefarious, but I thought this guys doesn’t do anything unless it’s going to make him money. I understand the President gets paid pretty well but that still isn’t enough of an incentive Golfturathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824435208831767319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595249009044060344.post-29555545789979467972015-09-30T03:25:00.000-07:002015-09-30T03:28:27.590-07:00A New Way To VoteWe’ve been electing our leaders the same way off and on for thousands of years with very mixed results.

Let us break down what is actually going on in this picture. There is definitely a lot to unpack here. We'll start with the Libertarian Society half of the image.
We will start with the fundamental ideas behind Libertarianism.
Don't hurt people.
Don't take their stuff.
Coercion is wrong.
Voluntary human interaction.

I'm really tired of hearing people tell my that Jesus was a socialist, so I began rewriting some of his parables. My hope is that by retelling the parables of Jesus from a socialist perspective it will show the absolute absurdity of the notion that my Lord and Savior was a socialist.
I hope you enjoy the Parables of Socialist Jesus. http:\\socialistjesus.golfturat.comGolfturathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14824435208831767319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595249009044060344.post-74709729281906126142015-04-06T22:06:00.002-07:002015-04-06T22:07:10.635-07:00Mark Dodich on the Curmudgeon Cafe Podcast
Before Mark moved to Oregon in 1991, he lived in SE Florida, Houston, Seattle, Colorado Springs, San Francisco, Anchorage, Washington DC, New Jersey, and Santa Fe. Some of these moves were career oriented during his life as an industrial salesperson in industries such as aluminum, mini-blind manufacturing, and industrial supplies. Other moves were for the sake of adventure.

Timothy Herman is a friend of mine from when I worked at the community access station in Tualatin Valley. While he was hosting his show on the cable access station, he always had such passion for what he was discussing, I knew there must be a story behind that passion. Timothy shares his experience in the Navy, working with his father, and moving to the northwest.

Amanda Palmer puts it perfectly. When information and entertainment are essential free and available anywhere, the question isn't how do we make people pay for entertainment but how do we let people pay for entertainment.
This is a completely new paradigm for a new generation.

I never liked cake when I was growing up, and that always made things difficult when my birthday came around. My mom was always a good sport about it.
