In our never ending quest to defund Google by not using it, we continue this week to find alternatives to Google Maps. We usually concentrate on finding alternatives that are “just as good”. Today, we actually found something that is uniquely better. For those who actually like to travel via topo maps, BackCountry Navigator is a great “off the grid” map application!…
Most of us worry about monopolies. The thing we forget is that outside of a government-granted monopoly, a business can’t accomplish it. They might want to, but it can’t be done in a capitalist society. Huge businesses love government intrusion. They know that they can afford the costs and that it will run off small competitors.…
This is troubling. You shouldn’t have to vet your repairman for their connections to law enforcement. The practice of our government train a third party to spy on you without a warrant should be illegal. This begs for an investigation and some public flogging.…
I rarely if ever advocate for Federal Government intrusion into the marketplace. I want less government, not more. This is a unique situation, because there is no marketplace here. You can’t influence them by voting with your wallet. You are not the customer. This summer 143 million Americans had their most sensitive information breached, including…

Our government “Dewey camps” have had over 60 years to indoctrinate our children. Our 487 snowflakes are showing a learned “skill”. No sense waiting until they get to college to finish them off.…
What can you say about this. I guess it’s no longer “safe, legal and rare”, but “fast and profitable”.…
College campuses are the training camps for 487s. Evergreen State was in the spotlight earlier this year for its bizarre behavior. Don’t believe for a minute that it was an isolated campus. And we taxpayers fund this idiocy..…
We were at a gun show when word broke of this terrible shooting. Like everyone else, we were disheartened. Very quickly, the conversation started on what kind of evil people do this. It was Tennessee, after all. My first thought was to check the map. Nashville is a 487 county and as the story unfolded about how folks had to go to their car to get their guns, I understood. 487 is harmful to life.…
While we know this is true, and marketing folks, politicians and the media thrive on the idea, it doesn’t have to be a debilitating concept! Expand your sources of information and transform information into knowledge.
