We all know how to mitigate risks. We do it everyday in our everyday life.
We drive a car to work, or to school or to a bus stop. Or we walk. Across a street or next to one.
We swim.
Or buy a gun.
We know, as rational people, what our risks are. And we are remarkable at acting in such a way, as a group, that our risks are minimized while our rewards are maximized.
We all do this. All. Of. Us.
So don’t think for a second that business owners don’t do this as well.

Yup.
It’s true.
Man made cancer is here! And we have to stop it!
Already, Democrat Senators in Washington are crafting legislation that would tax abusive profits that these large corporations are extorting from the public. All the while, their products are killing us.
A high ranking official in Northern Virginia is quoted as saying, “Unless we get back to 1980 levels, we’re gonna see more and more human death and suffering. We need legislation to protect the people from this alarming rate of damage!”
New calls for alternative technologies are being sounded. Taxes are going to have to be raised in order to fund emerging technologies. Whole new industries are going to have to be created, along with the jobs they drive, in order to fight this global pandemic.
Scientists now all agree, we are going to die!
An international panel of experts says cellphones are possibly carcinogenic to humans after reviewing details from dozens of published studies.
The statement was issued in Lyon, France, on Tuesday by the International Agency for Research on Cancer after a weeklong meeting of experts. They reviewed possible links between cancer and the type of electromagnetic radiation found in cellphones, microwaves and radar.
The agency is the cancer arm of the World Health Organization and the assessment now goes to WHO and national health agencies for possible guidance on cellphone use.
It’s over.
WHO and France, scientists and studies.
It’s over.
Throw your cell phones away or we will ALL die!
Or…..not.

I’ll admit, I didn’t find this site so much as it found me. However, in my defense, I really REALLY like this place.
They’ve got it all. Style, content, creativity and compelling product.
I may not agree with their overarching views, but there are some fantastic folks pumping out fantastic articles on fantastic topics.
We are seeing tornadoes across America.
And by the looks of things, it would seem the year is bad. Really REALLY bad.
But is it?
Well, the guys over at Poison Your Mind seem to think so:
We can’t link any individual event to global warming, but it’s a large-scale pattern that may be increasing the frequency or severity of types of events.
Nickgb creates some very compelling points in his post, I highly recommend reading all of it. And when you’re done, stop on back and see my critique.

Did you know that if you wanna be a Free Mason all you have to do is ask to join?
Government has no place in the market. In so much that the government needs to spend money on things that constitute the proper role of government, there is nothing that the State does that is expressly efficient.
The State is unable to address the needs and/or wants of the populace well enough to signal an efficient use of scare resources; resources that have alternative uses. The government can, by force of gun or sword, dictate where money is spent, to be sure. But that government has neither the ability or will to intuit that “will of the people who is the mark of a dynamic market.
What does this mean?
It means the government is incapable of spending your money better than you are.
