		<title>Harry Reid is anti-Nevadan, pro-authoritarian.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday it was reported that Harry Reid got some sound-bite press coverage while grandstanding about three power plants scheduled to be built in Nevada.  My initial reaction was, “why would Uncle Harry be against more power supply in our state?”
But we should never underestimate the thrill of power among US Senators, and their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tyranny in our midst</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may remember a few years back that during the “Axe the Tax” ballot initiative signature gatherers were harassed by the police and employees of “public” places like the post office and UNLV.  The pinheads at UNLV, 85% of whose salaries are paid by taxpayers, had the audacity to say that there was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Property Taxes are Evil – Part III</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forward this posting to your friends.  It should get them fired up!
The property tax bill post card mailer has two parts.  The lower portion, which we’ve been examining in the previous two posts, itemizes the distribution of the tax assessment.  The upper portion is a bit less clear.  It gives you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Property Taxes are Evil – Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been itemizing the wonderful services paid through your property tax bill.  We’ve already covered education and police/fire “services,” so what’s next?
My particular tax bill reads, “Medical Asst To Indigent Persons” for $128.20.  Lovely.  So we pay for the medical care of bums, vagrants, druggies, drunks, and other ne’re-do-wells lacking the self [...]]]></description>

		<title>Property Taxes are Evil – Part I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I knew I shouldn’t have done it.  But I did anyway.  I opened up the property tax bill that arrived in yesterday’s mail.  
My doctor warned me to avoid stressful situations like this.  I knew it was going to be ugly, and blood pressure-raising, but I just HAD to see it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who wants war?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Why, of course, the people don’t want war&#8230;. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor [...]]]></description>

		<title>Political corruption runs deep.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Political scandals in Nevada, and particularly in Clark County, grace the headlines much more often than should be in a civil society.  Probably most notorious has been the long-shameful Clark County Board of Commissioners with its admitted felons Lance Malone, Erin Kenny, Mary Kincaid-Chauncey, and Dario Herrera.  But you can also add to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real ID unconstitutional, unfunded mandate to states</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ask your legislators to support a Nevada resistance to the REAL ID Act, a pernicious intrusion of government into your life and another sure-footed step towards totalitarianism.
Several states have already thumbed their noses at the feds; we should do the same.  Here&#8217;s a quote from New Hampshire&#8217;s exercise of its sovereignty.
&#8220;NO REAL ID in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Has Independence Day’s meaning been lost?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In honor of July 4th, I’m going to take a holiday from writing an original blog, and cheat by copying a GREAT OPINION piece that came out in the R-J this past weekend.  Steven Greenhut, columnist for the Orange County (California) Register, wrote an article about our eroding freedoms that you guys are going [...]]]></description>
