I would recommend them to anyone. If they make a mistake, they will promptly fix it at no charge. Not that they make many mistakes. I'm not joking I have been using them for ten years. They have always taken the best care of my cars. They are the best in St. Louis. They are better than going to the dealership. I have a Ford and I would take it to them before the dealership. They are a five star shop in my opinion. They have outstanding customer service and are always friendly. They have outstanding customer service. I can't say enough good things about them. They keep my car like brand new. So yes, I would recommend them to anyone.

Mitt Romney and President Obama face off in Denver at 9 p.m. Wednesday in the first of three presidential debates. They have the power to reshape the race in its final weeks, if presidential history is any guide. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
The stage is literally being set. It could be this campaign season's most important 90 minutes.
"I do think that the debates could have a substantial impact on the election this time," said Republican Consultant Brett O'Donnell.
Both sides agree that there's a greater burden on Mitt Romney than the president, who's leading in polls. "People have to make the decision to fire Barack Obama and hire Mitt Romney and the challenge for him is that, you know, a lot of people like the president," said Neera Tanden of the Center for American Progress.
Neera Tanden and Brett O'Donnell would know. Tanden prepared Hillary Clinton four years ago. O'Donnell trained the last three Republican nominees, including Romney during the primaries.
"I think both men are highly capable," O'Donnell said. "Gov. Romney went through 20 primary debates and in most of those debates, people thought he was the winner of those."
This time, Romney will likely pound Obama on the sour economy.
Another advantage is that he'll almost be side to side with the president.
He may need to unveil a major new proposal, if only to give a sense he's shaking up a campaign. At the same time, he'll likely face queries about the famous video where he dismisses 47 percent of the population.
Observers also say the Republican has to reveal a charm many say Romney is hiding.
"Even after all this time, this campaign has been going on already 18 months, people don't have a good sense of him or what he stands for," Tanden said.
Republicans are hoping to channel 1980, when a memorable one liner helped humanize Ronald Reagan and topple President Jimmy Carter amid similar polls today.
Democrats see 1996, when President Bill Clinton fended off Bob Dole.
Then there are the things this time Romney and Obama should avoid. It's the same thing for both candidates; looking arrogant and out of touch, a crime analysts say both men have committed.
Chances are both sides will say that they won the debate. That's one bet you can safely make.

With a majestic unicorn and
blonde princess on the pink cover, readers expect the same
old happily ever after story. The book is full of
frollicking; right? WRONG. Hughes manages to weave a
masterful plot that both engages the readers and makes
them think. Additionally, the descriptions take readers
to a far away place of fantasy and beauty. A page-turner
in every sense of the word, "The Princess and the Unicorn"
is a must have for girls that want to be lost in a book
that is both girly and literarily strong.

Take Tom Cruise. His name just sounds cool, unlike Thomas Mapathor IV.
Kirk Douglas sounds like a name a leading man would have. Issur Danielovich Demsky? Not so much.
Actresses change their names too. Natalie Portman and Olivia Wilde roll off the tongue much easier than Natalie Hershlag and Olivia Cockburn.

Ideological redefinitions by the left
All my life, racism has been defined as you see it below. It is a "belief" that your race is superior to other races based on nothing other than racial characteristics, such as skin color.
racism [ ˈrāˌsizəm ]
1. the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
2. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Racism, then is displaying the "prejudice, discrimination or antagonism" to others of different races based on that "belief". Makes sense. Simple. Direct to the point. Racists think they're superior to other races because of the color of their skin.
However, as such, the definition is unacceptable to the left. For the left it fails in two particular areas. It means that, based on this definition, anyone can be a racist which means, then, it doesn't allow them to identify and cultivate a victim class (or in this case, race) while excusing what they perceive as an oppressive race. Useless. The solution? Move the goal posts. Redefine the word so it has a more culturally useful meaning for the left. Too many people were pointing out that the definition was something that correctly identified all races as susceptible to racism. No good.
Enter academia. What better place to make this happen than by pitching an ideologically biased new definition to those impressionable students who walked their hallowed halls? Here, for instance, is how the University of Delaware defines racism:
A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality.
Now the left has a useful definition. Now the oppressors are clearly identified as is the victim class. This allows them to "capture" the victim classes into their entitlement schemes. And, of course, when you load in the race baiters such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, a virtual cottage industry is created in which the discontent this sort of nonsense inspires is kept hot and fresh. With this definition, all whites are racists, have been forever and will be forever if the left has anything to do with it. This definition conveniently removes the expiration date from the definition and gives it a forever fresh date. With the first definition, it is obvious that it depended on a "belief" – a belief which could be changed. However with the second definition, that belief is relegated to irrelevancy and now, per the left, racism is only based on the color of one's skin.
Ironic, isn't it?
The science is not settled
Dr. Steven Koonin is the director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress at New York University. Formerly, he was undersecretary for science in the Energy Department during President Barack Obama's first term. So, not a guy you'd think would be a Koch-funded climate denier. Yet, he writes in the Wall Street Journal that the current state of climate science is not settled, despite what others may say.
After spending several paragraphs highlighting both our lack of scientific understanding of basic climate processes, and the unreliability of the different computer models and their predictions, he concludes:
These and many other open questions are in fact described in the IPCC research reports, although a detailed and knowledgeable reading is sometimes required to discern them. They are not "minor" issues to be "cleaned up" by further research. Rather, they are deficiencies that erode confidence in the computer projections. Work to resolve these shortcomings in climate models should be among the top priorities for climate research.
Yet a public official reading only the IPCC's "Summary for Policy Makers" would gain little sense of the extent or implications of these deficiencies. These are fundamental challenges to our understanding of human impacts on the climate, and they should not be dismissed with the mantra that "climate science is settled."
While the past two decades have seen progress in climate science, the field is not yet mature enough to usefully answer the difficult and important questions being asked of it. This decidedly unsettled state highlights what should be obvious: Understanding climate, at the level of detail relevant to human influences, is a very, very difficult problem.
This is not coming from some right-wing whack job. It is the sober assessment of the science from a former Obama Administration official. Claims that the "science is settled" are just that: claims. They are claims made to further a specific political agenda, not a realistic summation of what we actually know.
Yet we are told that massive government action is required—usually leavened with a generous dollop of socialism—to prevent disaster. A disaster, by the way, than cannot be confidently predicted. If that is so, the predictions of success for ameliorative actions cannot be confidently predicted either. Indeed, we cannot truly say that massive ameliorative actions are even needed.
"The science is settled," therefore, is not a factual, scientific statement. It is a political one. It deserves no more respect than any other political assertion.

Meanwhile in Africa
Ebola continues to ravage the western part of the continent:
Yet another set of ominous projections about the Ebola epidemic in West Africa was released Tuesday, in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that gave worst- and best-case estimates for Liberia and Sierra Leone based on computer modeling.
In the worst-case scenario, Liberia and Sierra Leone could have 21,000 cases of Ebola by Sept. 30 and 1.4 million cases by Jan. 20 if the disease keeps spreading without effective methods to contain it. These figures take into account the fact that many cases go undetected, and estimate that there are actually 2.5 times as many as reported.
If that's the case, then containment would seem all but impossible.
However, if it is able to be contained and everything goes to plan, there is a "best case" scenario:
In the best-case model — which assumes that the dead are buried safely and that 70 percent of patients are treated in settings that reduce the risk of transmission — the epidemic in both countries would be "almost ended" by Jan. 20, the report said. It showed the proportion of patients now in such settings as about 18 percent in Liberia and 40 percent in Sierra Leone.
Unfortunately, best case scenarios rarely if ever come to pass. They assume too much goes well with "the plan", communication, cooperation, behavior and many other human activities, and rule out people acting on misinformation and self-interest contrary to the "best case" scenario's plan. That's not to say epidemic can't eventually be contained … or burn itself out. It's to say betting on the "best case" scenario puts you at odds with human nature.
There's another reason not to expect the "best case" scenario. The agencies who are spouting all the stats really don't know the actual extent of the outbreak:
The World Health Organization acknowledged weeks ago that despite its efforts to tally the thousands of cases in the region, the official statistics probably "vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak."
The report does not include figures for Guinea because case counts there have gone up and down in ways that cannot be reliably modeled.
The point? We're going to hear a lot of happy talk about how the world's effort is going to contain this outbreak and, at least for a while, they're going to point toward the best case scenario as their goal. And it is a worthy goal. But you have to remember that as with many government or quasi-government bureaucracies, their worth is measured in how successful they are – or report they are. It's how they receive funds. So the propensity is to "happy talk" and favorable stats. And, as we've all learned with "climate change", models can be monkeyed with.
As an example of why the best case scenario is unlikely, the plan for containment relies on "effective methods" to contain it – such as treatment centers where patients go and allow the problem to be isolated. But in reality, there aren't enough beds to do that:
At least one aid group working in Liberia is already shifting its focus to teaching people about home care and providing materials to help. Ken Isaacs, a vice president of the aid group Samaritan's Purse, said, "I believe inevitably this is going to move into people's houses, and the notion of home-based care has to play a more prominent role." He said there could be 100,000 or more cases by the end of 2014.
"Where are they going to go?" Mr. Isaacs asked. "It's too late. Nobody's going to build 100,000 beds."
He's right. And so isolation, a key portion of "the plan", is put in severe jeopardy.
Key take away? Beware of all the happy talk. This isn't a time for propaganda and misleading stats. But we are dealing with bureaucracies, spokespersons and the like. This is a time for honest, above-board information so the public can stay informed about something that could threaten their lives.
Let's see what we actually get.
Political Correctness and the "War on Women": NHL Edition
If you know anything about hockey, you're aware that for the spectators it's a testosterone filled affair that satisfies our base urges for battle. Much like football. What better to accompany a manly-men game than pretty girls in skimpy outfits? So, sometime in the early 2000's, NHL teams starting employing Ice Girls to skate around the rink during TV timeouts, etc, in order to clear the playing surface of built up snow. Predictably, it was a big hit. At least, until Mother Jones decided to stick its buzz-killing nose into things: "The Freezing, Hungry Lives of NHL "Ice Girls":
I co-wrote an article last month about the working conditions of NFL cheerleaders: Five cheer squads had recently sued their football teams alleging sub-minimum-wage pay and mandatory "jiggle tests," among other indignities. Not long after the story ran, I received an email from a woman who had worked as one of the Philadelphia Flyers' "ice girls." "Speaking from personal experience," she wrote, "ice girls are treated very similarly."
When a player walks in, it's time to go: Both the Kings and the Flyers, like a number of other NHL teams, have adopted policies that strongly discourage relationships between ice girls and hockey players: There was to be no fraternization of any kind, the women told me. To prevent rumors from starting, the ice girls were instructed to make sure they weren't in the same place as the players outside of work. But the burden of responsibility was placed on the women: If a Kings ice girl was at a restaurant or bar and a player walked in, she was expected to get up and leave, even in the middle of a meal.
Short shorts in frigid weather: Some teams, including the Flyers, have co-ed ice crews, but the men aren't wearing booty-shorts and crop tops. And while most games are held indoors, teams and their cheer squads sometimes participate in outdoor games and events. In early 2012, the Flyers took part in a three-day outdoor festival and game called the Winter Classic. "It was 20 degrees and we were in shorts, with two pairs of stockings," a former ice girl told me. Depending on the day, they spent six to nine hours outdoors: "It really felt like we were in some kind of torture camp." Said another: "I've never been so cold in my life."
Blah, blah, blah. There's more, but you get the picture.
For the most part, political correctness nonsense results in silly annoyances. In this case, however, it cost a bunch of women their jobs. That's right, in the aftermath of this article, the Flyers decided to get rid of the Ice Girls … and only the Ice Girls. If you know anything about Philly fans, you know that didn't go over well:
Flyers fans booed the guys on the ice Monday night … because they weren't women.
We're not talking hockey. We're talking the crew scraping the ice during breaks in the action.
Apparently, the team and other NHL clubs succumbed to complaints about sexism and working conditions, including duties like manning doors in frigid temperatures. A June article in Mother Jones article may have played a key role.
Actually, by Philly standards, the reaction was pretty positive.
But the really strange thing here is that, while some of these women had complaints (and, seriously, how unusual is that?), for the most part, they loved the job. But because of the disdain invited by the MJ article, they now have none. But the guys all kept theirs. It's almost like another confirmed kill in the left's War on Women (I say almost because, as far as I know, Ted Kennedy still has the only confirmed kill (h/t: Dave Burge)).
I suppose the Flyers organization could have just dressed the girls up in warmer, less skimpy clothing (that's basically how they are in Carolina and DC, for example), but that wouldn't address all of the complaints. The team would have to give the girls (but apparently not the guys) raises, and alter team rules re fraternization, among other things. But what would be the unintended consequences of that? I guess they just figured it wasn't worth the hassle because, it probably isn't.
It really is comical, though, how the left can so consistently promote policies and behaviors that hurt the very people they purport to protect. It's as if they are completely incapable of learning from, well, anything. They simply try to wish a world into existence and then are completely flummoxed when things don't turn out the way they planned.
Oh well, at least these poor girls won't be so exploited anymore working in a position that they had to beat out 100's of other girls just to get. Way to go, lefties!
The march of the mimes
Walter Russell Meade does a great job of summing up the impact of yesterday's "March of the Usual Lefty Organizations" in the name of taxing us into poverty with a carbon tax:
Street marches today are to real politics what street mime is to Shakespeare. This was an ersatz event: no laws will change, no political balance will tip, no UN delegate will have a change of heart. The world will roll on as if this march had never happened. And the marchers would have emitted less carbon and done more good for the world if they had all stayed home and studied books on economics, politics, science, religion and law. Marches like this create an illusion of politics and an illusion of meaningful activity to fill the void of postmodern life; the tribal ritual matters more than the political result.
And he's precisely right. Besides being the usual collection of leftist professional protesters sprinkled with clueless pols and celebrities, nothing of note is going to change at the UN Climate Summit. Nothing. The outcome of that is, as they say, "already written in the books".
The world's largest emitters are declining to show up, even for appearances. The Chinese economy has been the No. 1 global producer of carbon dioxide since 2008, but President Xi Jinping won't be gracing the U.N. with his presence. India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi (No. 3) will be in New York but is skipping the climate parley. Russian President Vladimir Putin (No. 4) has other priorities, while Japan (No. 5) is uncooperative after the Fukushima disaster that has damaged support for nuclear power. Saudi Arabia is dispatching its petroleum minister.
China, however, has found a wonderful new way to forever avoid any responsibility for reducing its output. It has become the "champion" for the poor and underdeveloped countries of the world and is helping put forward their demands:
China led calls by emerging economies on Friday for the rich to raise financial aid to the poor as a precondition for a United Nations deal to combat global warming. "When the financing is resolved, this will set a very good foundation to negotiate a good agreement," China's chief negotiator Xie Zhenhua told delegates from about 170 nations. Xie said developed nations, which have promised to raise aid to $100 billion a year by 2020, should have legally binding obligations to provide finance and technology to emerging economies, along with legally binding cuts in emissions.
Well of course the "rich nations" should … because that would have them pay China and India – two of the biggest carbon producers around. So China has, in effect, made an offer they must refuse, because leaving out the two largest carbon producers is sort of self-defeating, isn't it? And anyway, we should pay for our "rich nation privilege", shouldn't we?
Meanwhile, Dr. Steven Koonin makes the point of saying what is clearly the truth in an op-ed in the WSJ – the science of climate change is not settled science. In fact, it's not even close. Dr. Koonin, by the way, was the undersecretary for science in the Energy Department during Obama's first term. So this isn't some right-wing ideologue spouting off, but a serious scientist. Interestingly, he makes hash of the reliability of the climate models:
The models differ in their descriptions of the past century's global average surface temperature by more than three times the entire warming recorded during that time. Such mismatches are also present in many other basic climate factors, including rainfall, which is fundamental to the atmosphere's energy balance. As a result, the models give widely varying descriptions of the climate's inner workings. Since they disagree so markedly, no more than one of them can be right.
And we're still looking for that one model that is right … but remember, it is on the basis of those models that this entire "scare" or alarmism finds its roots. Make it a point to read the entire Koonin piece.
But never fear as our fearless leader will be in NY to address the UN summit (most likely a rushed speech between fund raisers and golf). Not that it will have any effect or make any difference. But in his mind, it will be "action". In reality, it'll be another example of him again being outplayed on the world stage.
Economic Statistics for 22 Sep 14
The Chicago Fed National Activity Index fell to -0.21 in August versus 0.39 in July.
Existing home sales fell a disappointing -1.8% in August to a lower-than-expected annual rate of 5.05 million. On a year-over-year basis, existing home sales are down -5.3%. Nearly all of the recent housing data has been negative, showing a lot of weakness in the housing sector.
You can be a guinea pig!
So, I got this email from a researcher who's looking for libertarians to respond to a study:
I am conducting research on ideology and public opinion. Most studies on public opinion ask subjects whether they are liberals or conservatives. Options to identify as "libertarian" (or anything else) are almost always left out. To say that libertarians are underrepresented in academic research wouldn't be enough; they aren't even given a chance to identify themselves as such. Therefore, I would like to include libertarians in one of my studies regarding opinions of candidates and their policies. To do this, I need to seek them out through blogs and websites. I was wondering if you would be interested in posting a link to my online survey on your site or in an email distribution.
Some important things to know about this survey:
-All responses are 100% anonymous. There is no way for me to link any identifying information to the survey responses.
-The survey has been cleared by an Institutional Review Board at Stony Brook University. It satisfies all the requirements for a study that uses human subjects.
-It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete
-It does not seek to promote any kind of ideological agenda
The survey can be found here: https://stonybrooksurveys.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_87ChNJu5zdzMgDP
If it's something you feel like you want to participate in, please feel free. I took it. Seems harmless.

Fresh Guacamole by PES
After his famed "Western Spaghetti", British director PES is back with another stop-motion short entitled "Fresh Guacamole". The same recipe is applied with the use of non-food items to cook, such as grenades as avocados, baseballs as a onions that literally get diced, or poker chips as nacho chips. The result is fantastic. Enjoy!

HBO CEO Bill Nelson Announces Retirement
Bill Nelson, CEO of Home Box Office, Inc., announced today he will step down as CEO of HBO at the end of the year. Under Nelson's tenure, HBO has enjoyed record revenues and profits; experienced a resurgence in its original programming, most recently earning 81 Emmy nominations, including the most "outstanding series" nominations in the network's history; launched its acclaimed and popular authenticated streaming service HBO GO; and expanded its international businesses, resulting in more than 100 million subscribers worldwide. Under the new management structure, Eric Kessler will serve as President and COO and Michael Lombardo will serve as President, Programming, and both will report to Richard Plepler, who will become CEO.
"Bill and I have worked together for many, many years and though I'm sad to see him leave, I respect his decision to enjoy retirement. He is a world-class CEO and leaves the company well-positioned for the future," said Jeff Bewkes, Chairman and CEO of Time Warner Inc. "The company will not miss a step with the new team, which has the combination of talent and experience to drive HBO to new heights of creative excellence, innovation, and financial performance. Richard and Eric are twenty-plus year veterans of the company who, as Co-Presidents, helped HBO re-establish its pre-eminence over the past five years, and Mike Lombardo has done an exceptional job in developing the best slate in HBO's history."
"HBO has been my home for almost 30 years so this decision was an emotional one," said Nelson. "With my elevation to CEO more than five years ago, we set an ambitious agenda for HBO, and I'm proud to say that I feel the company has never been in better shape financially or creatively. I feel very comfortable in taking this step now because I know HBO will continue in its tradition of innovation and acclaimed programming and retain its superior position in our industry in the hands of Richard, Eric, Mike and the entire team."

The price of this Craftsman tool set was very reasonable. I believe that I paid around $20.00. The tools seem to do an alright job UNTIL a significant amount of pressure is applied to the contact points. It is my observation that the Craftsman tools of today are not the same as the Craftsman tools of yesteryear. The good and bad news is that I can return for a free replacement, but I have the expense of time and gasoline to return the items.

All higher education employees are now required to complete online training along with a signed form that states they will report any witnessed child abuse or neglect.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services began enfocing the requirement in July after a public act passed in the Illinois General Assembly. Recently, online training became a requirement of the public act as well.
Chancellor Rita Cheng said the form has also become a nation-wide employee requirement.
"We immediately included the form in the employment paperwork, but the training portion took a little longer to implement," Cheng said.
The training is a 10-page PowerPoint presentation that was emailed to all university employees Oct. 9. It details what situations are considered abuse and/or neglect, and it offers information on what employees should do if they suspect either offense.
Cheng said employees who work in colleges with on education and health care concentrations have always been required to complete the form and training, but it has now expanded to the entire university.
Toni Vagner, student employment manager, said neither the form nor the training has effected the university's employment rate thus far.
DCFS tried to pass the bill before the Jerry Sandusky case, said Bruce Dubre, policy writer for DCFS. The department increased its efforts After the case went to trial, Dupre said.
He said the form was originally only mandated in Illinois, but it is now a nation-wide requirement.
"Every employee of an institution of higher education must sign the form before they can begin working," Dubre said.
He said the form — approved June 27 by the Illinois Senate — is a result of Sandusky's conviction.
Sandusky was the assistant football coach at Penn State in University Park, Penn., who coached for more than 32 years. Sandusky has been under investigation since 1998, but he was not arrested and charged with sexually abusing more than 10 boys over a 15-year period until December 2011.
Sandusky was found guilty June 22 on 45 out of 48 child sex abuse charges and sentenced Oct. 9 to 30-60 years in prison.

Indiana GOP seems to think health care act is now OK
Voters who re-elected President Barack Obama are aware that many provisions of the "Obamacare" health insurance legislation will make their lives better.
Please note: Obama cared and cares about access to health care for the 99 percent who do not have the insurance benefits so many legislators — including Gov.-elect Mike Pence — already have and that are paid for by taxpayers.
Among those benefits: Those who have a pre-existing condition cannot be disqualified from health insurance, children under the age of 26 can remain on their parents' health insurance, and women have access to affordable contraception, which is proven to reduce abortions.
I was mildly amused, but frankly disgusted, therefore, to read in the Nov. 20 Post Tribune ("Indiana's Legislature Ponders Health Costs") that "even though his rhetoric against President Barack Obama's signature legislation remains sharp, Pence may not be ruling out a state-run (health insurance) exchange long term. Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma said Pence has told him the state could retake control of the exchange after a year if it works well."
So, let's review — Pence and Bosma are opposed to the part of the Affordable Care Act (a name the Republicans dare not utter since it combines "affordable" and "care") that would make sure Hoosiers have a way to shop for reasonably priced insurance from their own state, but if it works well, they will take it over.
I guess that's better than complete intransigence on their part, but wouldn't it be more mature and healthier for Hoosiers if they just followed the law in the first place?

GOP keeps using McCain
to take one for the team
In 2008, Republicans unearthed John McCain to run against Barack Obama.
After eight horrendous years of George Bush, the Republicans knew they would lose to Obama, Pluto or even me. This was a noncontest, and they knew it from day one.
The thinking was, bring in McCain. He is old and going nowhere; he is done.
Then, in 2012, the same Republicans shoved McCain out front and center to begin the GOP dance of obstruction. Let Ol' John make a total fool of himself over the tragic Benghazi attack.
Armed with anger and zero facts, he went on and on about Susan Rice, calling her everything but a Muslim. As the facts began to emerge, it was apparent Ol' John was taking another one for the team.
Rice repeated the early assessments of the National Security Agency. That's all, John. You picked the wrong fight again, and the GOP let you. Just like Mitt Romney, you "shot first and aimed later."
You are a good man, John McCain; retire now.
Keep your enemies close and your "friends" even closer.

Recycling Rubbish
Le tri des déchets peut être fait de façon efficace grâce à des machines en usine. Mais le mouvement vert insiste toujours pour que nous le fassions à la maison comme s'il s'agissait d'une pénitence pour notre consommation. Ce refus de reconnaître la division du travail fait de nous des pauvres et demeure symptomatique au sein du mouvement vert.
(Google translated - The waste sorting can be done effectively through machines at the factory. But the green movement still insists that we do at home as if it were a penance for our consumption. This refusal to recognize the division of labor makes us poor and remains symptomatic within the green movement.)
Compare to: An Englishman's Castle: Worstall Rubbish and The Divison of Labour
Sorting of rubbish can be done very well by large machines at centralised factories (or even outsourced to foreign lands). But the green movement insist we do it at home as a penance for our consumerism, almost as if when we needed pins we were forced to make them at home. It is this forbidding of the division of labour that makes us poorer and is symptomatic of the green movement.
Hmmm - not even a name check and they even spell Worstall's name wrong

famous yet not sufficiently rewarded economist – leader of
the Austrian School to which Nobel Laureate F. A. Hayek belonged
– Ludwig von Mises once noted that "Every advance first
comes into being as the luxury of a few rich people, only to become,
after a time, the indispensable necessity taken for granted by everyone.
Luxury consumption provides industry with the stimulus to discover
and introduce new things."
noticed, when I recently watched the original Sabrina
– with Humphrey Bogart, William Holden and, of course, the
incomparable Audrey Hepburn – that the rich and nice guy played
by Bogart had a car phone in his chauffeur driven limo. That was
back in the mid-50s. Today what Mises noted is nearly absolutely
true: Car phones have become an indispensable necessity for everyone.
The same with warm water, the automobile itself, nice vacations,
computers, television sets – you name it and at first the rich
alone would have it but in time nearly all of us do, at least in
the relatively free market economy such as that of the USA.
but I will be told with righteous indignation, that this is just
what is wrong with free market capitalism – it requires that
there be some kind of incentive for people to create neat stuff.
How sad, even degrading that is: "What should in fact happen,
and would in a really good society, is that all these ambitions
would come from everyone's love for everyone else. Shame on anyone
who is willing to settle for the idea that obtaining what one wants
is a strong motivation for doing something others want."
critic is a silly and dangerous dreamer, actually. Adam Smith had
the answer to this good and hard:
In civilized
society [a human being] stands at all times in need of the cooperation
and assistance of great multitudes, while his whole life is scarce
sufficient to gain the friendship of a few persons….Man has
almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it
is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He
will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love
in his favour, and show them that it is for their own advantage
to do for him what he requires of them….
so called ideal – for me a nightmare, actually – of us
all loving everyone equally assumes that we could in fact have everyone
in the world as our friend and relative. Can you imagine? Everyone
who dies would deserve our deepest sorrow and extended mourning,
while everyone who is born would deserve our most sublime delight
and celebration, all at once. Given the multitudes in each group,
how on earth could this happen?
for human beings must of necessity remain selective and small in
numbers. Otherwise shallowness sets in. With a communist society
one aims for the impossible and that is why such societies must
degenerate into something perverse, unnatural, anti-human.
we hear endless complaints from intellectuals and their followers
about how evil it is to love oneself and those close to one –
it's selfish, greedy, mean. Unlike some economists, I do not deny
that people can try to be and even succeed at being selfless, in
certain regions of their lives, although even here generosity, different
from altruism, is better, even more helpful. But acting so as to
further one's well being, to thrive in life, is a good thing and
capitalism rests largely on that idea.
what about all that damage that capitalism has caused all over the
world, including in the history of the USA, damage from which countries
recovered with the aid of extensive government intervention, especially
Franklin Delaware Roosevelt's New Deal in America? That is exactly
what erudite University of Chicago legal scholar Cass R. Sunstein
maintains in this The
Second Bill of Rights, FDR's Unfinished Revolution and why We Need
it More than Ever (New York: Basic Books, 2004).
I am not going to attempt to refute such works – my only reply
here is that freedom is generally much better for people than regimentation.
For the details, though, one should consult a very fine book by
Professor Thomas J. DiLorenzo, How
Capitalism Saved America: The Untold History of Our Country, from
the Pilgrims to the Present (New York: Crown Forum, 2004).
then, please heed the notion that the "perfect" is the
enemy of the good – the pursuit of the dream of a society wherein
everyone loves everyone else defeats the real possibility for a
just, free, and prosperous community.

Oprah Winfrey and her dear sister-friend Gayle King have one of the most iconic friendships in the entertainment business. Thirty-five years ago, they met at a news station in Baltimore. Winfrey was a news anchor and King a production assistant. Normally they would never have had the chance to get to know each other well, but one night a snowstorm brought them together. While snowed in at Ms. Winfrey's place, the ladies stayed up all night talking, and by morning they were the best of friends.

'Just Desserts' is a colorful cluster of glass lights made from recycled dessert bowls. UK-based designer Jay Watson created this intriguing lighting array by stringing up traditional glass bowls sourced from flea markets and second-hand shops. The lamps are set to make their official debut at Interiors LDN this May in London.
"There is something charmingly nostalgic about dessert dishes," says Jay. "They were the culmination of every dinner ritual of the recent past, but they no longer feature in our dining habits. There is something at once enchanting and moving [about] the sight of an 'orphaned' dessert bowl that has been misplaced from its original set. Now, rather than being filled with dubious concoctions of tinned fruit and custard, they have been reincarnated and filled with light."
Not only are Jay Watson's 'Just Desserts' lights made from recycled materials, but they also are fitted with energy-efficient LEDs. The bright bulbs (2700K, 95CRI) are rated to 75,000 hours, and they're set in turned wooden and aluminum fixtures that are bonded to the bases of the pressed glass dishes. We love how the glass from the dessert bowls diffuses and refracts the light, creating beautiful patterns.
