There is a famous phrase in American politics: “the consent of the governed.” It is an important phrase. It is the essence of political legitimacy. Throughout most of history, the consent of the governed has been grudging. People put up with the political system they live in. They think it is not worth their time to fool around with politics. The overwhelming number of people throughout history have ignored politics except its special election times. This has been a wise attitude. Salvation is not by politics. The only society in history that has enjoyed nearly full-time interest in politics by … Continue reading →

And you probably won’t hear it from the New York Times, but the largest shareholder of the Times is the sixth wealthiest guy … worth $54.5 billion.   He used to be THE richest person, but he’s slipped a little in the rankings. It’s not just the Post and the Times … Forbes reported last year: Buy Silver at Discounted Prices Billionaires have long exerted influence on the news simply by owning U.S. media outlets.

We’ve spent a fair amount of time over the past several years writing about the ‘participation trophy generation’ (a.k.a. “millennials) and, more specifically, how their inflated sense of entitlement and self-worth, irrespective of work effort and/or innate talent, would not serve them well in the real world. You see Millennials, despite what your enabling handlers (a.k.a. “educators”) have told you your whole life, people here in the real world couldn’t care any less about your feelings, think your ‘Gender Studies’ degree was a complete waste of your parents’ money, will not promote you just because anything less would be a … Continue reading →
