Apparently, Henry Waxman (D-CA) has been sniffing around the Bush Administration again–this time about an Environmental Protection Agency decision to reject California’s efforts to reduce Greenhouse Emissions within its borders and override scientific recommendations pertaining to ozone standards. The involved officials suddenly forgot everything they ever did in their job… and the House promptly issued [...]
Why I’m not Watching the Olympics
Unless your head has been under a rock for the last few months, you know that the Olympics are being held in China this year, and you probably know the controversy surrounding that. Personally, I am no fan of the Chinese Government (being the secretive, authoritarian regime that it is), though I do like [...]
The Need for Objectivity
Well, I am sitting here in the Quito Airport, waiting to board my flight, so I thought that I would write a response to some of the comments that were made on my previous post on my experiences in Ecuador. For all of you TLDR (too long, didn’t read) people, a brief synopsis…

Perhaps because they are stupid, or even that they are just lazy. The terms that are confused are “free market” [...]
What is Enviroeconomic Reconciliation?
Apparently, I’m the first person to come up with something named Enviroeconomic Reconciliation… I didn’t think that I was that original (the only thing that came up on a google search was my myspace page)… but whatever.
Basically, a large portion of my political beliefs hinge on the assumption that whenever an individual or corporation [...]
