 What Would the World be like without Cash or with one Currency
A recent CBS World News article quoted Bjoen Ulvaeus, former member of the group ABBA, saying, "I can't see why we should be printing bank notes at all anymore," advocating that the world's economy should run without cash.
Our ancestors did not need money. Early humans were self-sufficient, hunter-gatherers, who relied on their surroundings for shelter and clothing. There are still remote tribes that do not use money as a medium of exchange but barter with other tribes when they have excess food. We are still bartering services today in modern societies.

 Will I Get My Wish on The Second Post-Operative Day?
What do I do when I arrive home after seeing patients all day? I have a pre-dinner drink with my wife. This week I'll wish I could still do it. But on March 22 I'm scheduled for a hip replacement at The Toronto Western Hospital. So today, a column dealing with alcohol is appropriate. And will my surgeon recall Sir William Osler's wise remark?

 IRS may draft cops to catch tax cheats, official tells Senate
While the Obama Administration curtailed its involvement with local police agencies to enforce immigration law and capture criminal aliens, that same administration wishes local cops to help the Internal Revenue Service enforcement tax laws, according to testimony given before a panel of U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday.

 When I was Young I was a Liberal/Socialist/Communist
Let this be a warning that communism is the last refuge of the unambitious and those fearful of a free trade society. When I was a rich kid in Great Neck North High School, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life. I hung out, got high and got into fights.

 The Crisis of Jewish Leftist Islamism
Every now and then the left discovers someone who tells them what they already think, but puts a glossier edge on it, and elevates him to the status of "Serious Thinker". This is the office for which Peter Beinart has been briefly nominated.
The chief prerequisite for becoming a serious thinker on the left is to state what is obvious to the left without actually seriously considering its obviousness. This is what Peter Beinart delivers by providing an indulgence for leftist Israel bashing by telling the bashers that they aren't bad Jews, it's the Israelis who are bad Jews, bad Democrats and bad people all around.

 Is Christian Resistance Ever Right?
Bible Christians (as opposed to churchy "Christians") have always known that they must obey God in all things. The Bible has precedence over all authority! However, most Christians have never considered the possibility of disobeying authorities when those authorities become oppressive. We have been taught that if it is law, it is right and should be obeyed; however, that is simply not true as proved with many Bible examples.

 Sinister Liberal Version of "Natural Law" is a Perverse, Anti-Constitutional Hoax
Everywhere today ring the shrill cries of liberals demanding "justice" for various groups--the poor, women, minorities, for environmental concerns, etc. This call sounds familiar since it resembles America's traditional support for the destitute, widowed and orphaned. It's a constant demand to do the "right" thing, as defined by leftism. Yet, on closer inspection, this appeal is not based upon any coherent theory of justice like "Natural Law." In fact, it's the exact opposite of traditional Western theory. Instead, this clever ploy manipulates the naive, proving a foil against Conservatism. So this sneaky tactic must be exposed as a hoax since following this charade has proved extraordinarily destructive.

 Pesticide Residue Risks Recalculated
For the past 15 years, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has been trying to scare U.S. consumers about pesticide residues on the fruits and vegetables in supermarkets. The EWG annually selects a "dirty dozen" produce items that they say pose the most pesticide residue danger to consumers and their kids.

 MASSACRE! Australian Left records worst election result since Federation
Queensland has decisively rejected Labor, reducing them to a political rump who may not even achieve party status (10 or more seats in the new parliament). While State issues have strong influence in State elections this is a severe repudiation of Labor and its National policies - notably the despised carbon tax and the assault on State revenues through an additional profits tax on mining States' main exports of coal and iron ore (mainly afflicting Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia).

William Faulkner observed, "A mule will labor willingly and patiently for you for ten years for the privilege of kicking you once."

 Agenda 21 treaty on the horizon
While liberal journalists continue to claim that Agenda 21 is just a "conspiracy theory" being advanced by right-wing crackpots, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the International Council for Environmental Law (ICEL) have released their fourth Draft of the International Covenant on Environment and Development. This document was designed from the beginning to convert the "soft-law" non-binding Agenda 21 into firmly binding global law - enforceable through the International Criminal Court and/or the dispute resolution features of the Convention on the Law of the Sea.

 Obama's YouTube Hack-U-Mentary Censors Most Negative Feedback
Apparently it's all sweetness and light, unicorns and fuzzy bunnies in the Youtube comments section of Obama's new hagiographic, hack-u-mentary short directed by Academy Award-winning director David "star-struck" Guggenheim. Barely a cross word is seen there about the Obammessiah since most negative comments seem likely to have been deleted from the Youtube page, leaving only the most sugary, sycophantic sap behind.

 IER President Tom Pyle talks energy with Lou Dobbs
Last night on Fox Business, IER President Tom Pyle explained to Lou Dobbs how America's vast oil supply -- 200 years of supply to be exact -- is currently off limits because President Obama has closed access.

 Back Yard Water - A Reliable Source
If you lose your water supply by any means, you can still have some water. It is not a well and does not require a permit.
We wrote a book, Back Yard Rabbits and a Sustainable Garden, as a means of providing an independent food source. Here is another application that can be situated in your own back yard. It will not produce water in the amounts you are used to having effortlessly from a faucet, but it will give you some water.

 Rubber-stamping Obama's African War Policy
As media-induced frenzy over African warlord Joseph Kony reaches a fever pitch, Democratic Senator Christopher Coons has introduced a resolution that seems to provide legal cover for President Obama's deployment of U.S. combat troops to Africa. Obama ordered the military intervention last October, without the approval of Congress, saying he wanted the "removal" of Kony from "the battlefield," wherever that may be.

 Corruptio Optimi Est Pessima
The title of this commentary is a Latin phrase. It is loaded with meaning for America today. Liberally translated, it means: When the best things become corrupt, it is then that they become the worst things.

 Barack Obama: Portrait of an Etch-A-Sketch President
This past week it was Ronald Reagan. This could be seen coming from a mile away. It really doesn't take a Nostradamus to predict these things in our president's behaviors. This was obvious after watching Obama's preview video of his coming BHO-SOTU address where he posted a 'trailer' on his web site. And even the hardest of hearing heard about Obama reading Reagan on his Christmas vacation flight to Hawai'i. No one should be surprised, despite the juxtaposition.
Everyone from the HuffPo to Breitbart found this topic irresistible. But of all the many Reagan/Obama media mentions, Mark Rudd's warning words, "feint right, turn left," are the most ominous, and to this writer's mind, accurate.

 Dear Conservatives: Romney Isn't One of Us But We Still Hold The Power If...
Romney is not conservative. Anyone that says he's conservative is only trying to convince themselves and is willfully ignoring not only Romney's entire executive record when he was governor of Massachusetts, but ignoring all the tell-tale signs that his current conservative-tinged campaign rhetoric is just a show to get the nomination. Romney doesn't mean a word of what he says. But we still hold the power to force him to stay on a more or less conservative path if he wins the White House.

 Why The 2012 Election Is Already Over
Please don't mistake this as overconfidence, but I firmly believe what I told Michael Coren on Sun News a couple days ago: President Obama will not be reelected, will be beaten badly, and here are five reasons why....
