Individual rights

Attacks on individuals are nothing more than efforts to wrest power from people so that only a few select individuals can legally enforce their will on the rest of us--those with whom they disagree. Individualism is true. Collectivism is false. And even the collectivists know this perfectly well.

TAKING THE RED PILL...THE REAL MATRIX by Steven Bates

The Matrix, easily the most thought-provoking film in a generation, tells the story of a computer hacker going by the alias Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) who discovers that the world he has taken for granted his entire life, is an illusion. The "Matrix" is a virtual-reality simulation created by a powerful artificial intelligence. ... U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter said in 1952, "The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes." ... You may take the red pill, and find out how deep the rabbit-hole goes. It might not be easy. But as Morpheus tells Neo in another of those pivotal moments in The Matrix: "I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth." www.newswithviews.com/Yates/steven6.htm  050201-stevenyates-the Real Matrix

ISAIAH'S JOB: We all have a job to do: To keep on changing our own lives for the better and to influence lives we touch by Claire Wolfe, BackWoodsHome magazine

"Isaiah's Job" is about how to go on when "the masses" and their leaders (and their media, and their intellectuals) are all going a different way than you. It's about being outnumbered — but how maybe that's not as painful as it feels... www.backwoodshome.com  1007-claire Wolfe-albert Nock-our Job

INDIVIDUALISM AND ACCEPTANCE by Dr. Joel Wade

The great strength of heart of the conservative is that, as an individual, caring for other individuals, he or she is caring for actual human beings. People are not an abstraction, they are real flesh and blood; as different as can be, but with qualities that we can recognize in ourselves. The individualist is more accepting, more compassionate, more forgiving, because humanity is not a concept; it is the living, breathing person right there. And that person has a unique value all his own. 080523-joel Wade-individualism And Acceptance

CULTURE AND INDIVIDUALISM

Individualism is a force for moral good because a strong individual operates within a culture and affects that culture. He or she does not normally operate in isolation. In other words, the culture within which one lives is affected by the strong individuals within it, not by those who go along with the flow. www.tothepointnews.com/content/view/3015/80/  071221-culture And Individualism

Economic Literacy: Fear the Boom and the Bust

"Fear the Boom and Bust," a Hayek vs. Keynes Rap Anthem. In Fear the Boom and Bust, John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek, two of the great economists of the 20th century, come back to life to attend an economics conference on the economic crisis. Before the conference begins, and at the insistence of Lord Keynes, they go out for a night on the town and sing about why there's a "boom and bust" cycle in modern economies and good reason to fear it. youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-Sk Econstories.tv is a place to learn about the economic way of thinking through the eyes of creative director John Papola and creative economist Russ Roberts.

Individualism, the Collectivists’ Nemesis by Tibor R. Machan

For those who agree with the numbering of everyone in the name of finding the ILLEGALS - read this and you will find where you really sit in the plan of things to come. I have heard from several who have asked how else we can find the ILLEGALS. I can't understand how that question can be asked by those who believe in FREEDOM - maybe they don't REALLY believe in FREEDOM if they are so willing to give up their FREEDOM in order to find the ILLEGALS. They have fallen hook, line and sinker for the game plan: The Hegelian Principle Step One: Thesis--create a problem. Step Two: Anti-Thesis--generate opposition to the problem (fear, panic, hysteria). Step Three: Synthesis--offer the solution to the problem created in step one. Goal: Change that would have been impossible to impose on the people without proper psychological conditioning achieved in stages one and two. What we lack in America is enough people with the guts to remove the traitors in our midst. They will still vote for the lesser of how many evils and then complain about what they get. They will say they have to vote for the WINNER - or they can't vote for a good candidate because *that person can't WIN*. Do they ever sit back and listen to themselves when they utter such stupid things? They are the type who will stick their finger in their nose to stop their leg from bleeding out. Stupidity is not curable and America is filled with those infected and spread by the carriers. Jackie Juntti, WGEN www.fff.org/comment/com0802h.asp  080225-individualism-collectivist Nemesis

Television viewing by children younger than 3 can damage their reading comprehension and short-term memory

"Television is not inherently good or bad — it's how you use it," said Frederick Zimmerman, co-author of the study and an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Washington. "Our study looked at the overall net effect of television to see if the ill effects outweigh the positive effects," Zimmerman said. "We found that to be the case, especially for children under 3." He is planning further studies to try to determine how TV watching affects cognitive development. Is it the content itself, or the fact that TV pulls children away from other activities that contribute to cognitive development? 050705-tv Viewing Good And Bad For Kids

SAVE A CHILD, SHOOT A TELEVISION by K-House News

During these years when a child's brain is still rapidly developing, television's fast-paced stimulation - even educational programming - wires children's brains to expect life to happen faster than it does. Parents are wise to limit the amount of television their youngest youngsters watch. The answer to a lot of these problems may simply be to spend more time together as families. Turn off the television and read books together or put together puzzles. Go outside and build that tree fort or get down to the skate park. Kids know there is a lot more to life than television, and while they might gripe and complain at first, they'll appreciate it later. We'll all appreciate it. www.khouse.org/  080722-save A Child Shoot A Television

Background TV disruptive for very young children

Pediatricians recommend no TV for children under age 2, yet studies show that three quarters of very young children in America live in homes where the TV is on most of the time. Even though the effects of background television on play behavior found in this study are small, they may have a cumulative impact through large amounts of exposure at home," the investigators wrote. "These may include poorer cognitive and language development and attention deficit symptoms. uk.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUKCOL56247220080715  080715-background Tv Disruptive To Very Young Kids

Too much TV in early childhood associated with attention deficits later, study finds (4/5/2004) by Lindsey Tanner

Very young children who watch television face an increased risk of attention deficit problems by school age, a study has found, suggesting that TV might overstimulate and permanently "rewire" the developing brain. For every hour of television watched daily, two groups of children - aged 1 and 3 - faced a 10 percent increased risk of having attention problems at age 7. The findings bolster research showing that television can shorten attention spans and support American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations that youngsters under age 2 not watch television. www.tribnet.com/news/story/4927431p-4860966c.html  040405-too Much Tv In Early Childhood
