Privatization: Bechtel I

In a post on one of my groups, I asked about the Fair Tax model of
economics. The privatization of essential services to corporate
entities was a tangential topic that drew some interest. I would like
to reintroduce this topic here.

I
live 50 miles north of Boston and there has been much ado about the Big
Dig and the poor job done by private contractors during the project for
many years now. It seemed to indicate a definite drawback to
privatization. So, I decided to look at one of the… Continue

Privatization: Bechtel II

Meanwhile, back home, FEMA awarded a no-bid trailer contract to the
Bechtel Corporation and made them responsible and the hauling and
installing of more than 35,000 trailers and mobile homes for Hurricane
Katrina victims in Mississippi.

Seven
months after the storm, 2/3 of the requested FEMA trailers (designed
for short term emergency housing immediately after a disaster) had been
delivered. Many of these trailers, however, could still not be occupied
or, if occupied, were not properly… Continue

Thumber's Vision Quest

I went on a Thumber's Vision Quest looking for answers to questions not asked.

It
was an experiment in cognitive random experience: I intentionally took
off without a destination in mind. It was my hope that a Greater Spirit
would "guide my ride" and provide appropriate insight at whatever
climax ensued. Where ever that might be.

It was in that frame of mind that I embarked, allowing the rides to determine my destination.

Imagine the conversation: "Where are you going,… Continue

Monolingualism

November 11, 2007
Manchester, NH

If we are to
promote the use of English as the "Official American Language" then, I
would have to insist that a line declaring grammatically correct
English (in conjunction with proper spelling and punctuation) be
required of all patriotic Americans. Spelling and punctuation tests
would determine social status (rather than, for example, material
possessions, beauty and physical strength), and the degree of
Americanism a citizen possesses. Our politic… Continue
