Read MoreNicholas’ Finger
Nicholas was working at a demolition site here in town. He was volunteering because it’s a church property getting set for renovation. He was knocking down a brick wall with a hammer, and apparently they weren’t giving their volunteers any protective gear to use. A brick exploded and hit his bare hand. His right index finger has been shredded. It’s impossible to tell how deep it really was until we hear back from the doctor. Thomas and I think it must have been pretty bad because when we talked to Nicholas he was shaking but was...
Read MoreSabotage
All this weariness of doing nothing amongst nothings. I think in motion; so much so that when my mind is silent my arms will move. Palm on neck, elbow near eye, knuckles on lips, and toes curlt out of shoe. The nothings stack endlessly through days until I’ve no room for thought, and consideration cannot be given to anyone.

Another fun tidbit for me is that the Missouri Viewpoints program is affiliated with the Hard Bean Cafe in the Kansas City metropolis — the Bean is a fabulously fun and stylish cafe in southern KC… and if you stop...
Read MoreDemocrats Want to Nationalize U.S. Oil Companies
Absolutely, positively depressing. History has shown that governments are neither more effective nor more fair when in control of a market resource. Logical consideration of economic principles indicate that nationalization is always a bad idea. Cavuto is asking the right questions in the following clip… and the cautious “are you insane?!” tone of his voice rather echoes my thoughts. I think I need to move to Ireland. Link:...
Read MoreAbout Lorien
I vote as a libertarian constitutionalist influenced by Hayek and Burke, and I think as an anarchist guided by the biblical principles of liberty. My government is strictly bound by the U.S. Constitution. I have fenced foil in a diaper-suit and run for political office in a skirt-suit, but my shoes were always fabulous. Both dreadful politics and inspiring design are likely to make me teary. and yes. I’m a tshirt ninja.
