Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine endorses Rick Santorum
by mindseye indon't know if this bit of pop culture made it's way around jw.net yet, but dave mustaine of megadeth has been in the news.
mustaine was brought up as a witness, but seems to have left pretty young.
he's now a born-again christian, and has made all kinds of off-color comments throughout the years about everything from mexican immigrants to homosexuality.

In a strange sort of way, I hope this helps Santorum get the nomination.

Only in America?
by cedars inabout 10 years ago i visited the three new york bethels - patterson, brooklyn and wallkill.
at the time, i was still very much mentally infatuated with the organization, so the trip was filled with wonder and nostalgia.
i can remember being told by a tour guide at wallkill that they were now so familiar with things constantly changing and being improved that the information they give on tours can quickly become out-of-date.

Interesting article on the LA Times front page this morning about a doctor in Fresno, CA who treats JWs without blood. He only promises to repect their wishes, not that they won't die. JW patients flock to him from all over the world. Heartbreaking because many still die needlessly, especially those with leukemia for which blood transfusions are a standard part of their care.

But Newt is so amusing! Moon colonies, child janitors, Mrs. Newt's hair-do
three wives, affairs, his righteous indignation, open marriage, his Stay-Puf image
Tiffany's revolving account,
Mrs. Newt, etc.
The American people love entertainment. Willard is boring.

Thomas Paine has some very interesting thoughts on the subject, published in his last pamphlet, Agrarian Justice":
http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/paine_agrarianjustice_01.html
A brief description:
In this work, his last great pamphlet published in the winter of 1795-1796, Paine continued the discussion he began in Part II of the Rights of Man of the problem of the elimination of poverty and developed further his proposals for limiting the accumulation of property. The crux of the entire question of eliminating poverty, he points out, lay in the institution of private property, for this principle was the source of the evils of society. Landed property and private property, he argued, were made possible only by the operation of society since whatever property men accumulated beyond their own labor came from the fact that they lived in society. "... The accumulation of personal property," he wrote, "is, in many instances, the effect of paying too little for the labor that produced it; the consequence of which is, that the working hand perishes in old age, and the employer abounds in affluence." God had never opened a land office, he held, from which perpetual deeds to the earth should be issued. He spoke, he boldly declared, for "all those who have been thrown out of their natural inheritance by the introduction of the system of landed property." It is of some interest to note that Thomas Jefferson observed, in a letter to Rev. James Madison in February, 1787: "Whenever there are in a country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate the natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. If for the encouragement of industry we allow it to be appropriated, we must take care that other employment be provided for those excluded from the appropriation. If we do not, the fundamental right to labor the earth returns to the unemployed...," [Philip S. Foner, ed., Thomas Jefferson: Selections from His Writings, pp. 56-57.]

Framing this discussion as communism vs. capitalism is disengenuous, but it is effective is a Rovian sort of way.
the proponents of income redistribution want to take it from people over the median and give it to people under the median.
.....as opposed to the way it actually works - take it from people under the median and give it to people over the median. Why do you think we have such a growing income gap?
