It’s 2 parts Marx and 1 part Rosseau. It is
the ignorance and disdain of the moneyed for
what the working class has to do to survive,
coupled with a naive certainty that rural
work is sort of like gardening and beautiful.
The Editor’s Notes

Attribute to L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise
For anyone who is skeptical about the claim that many of
the ruling elite want us normal people dead: Schumer wants to make it
illegal for normal people to own body-armor. (I bet he wears some, though.)

I have set-up a subscription ability at SubscribeStar.com, but it has not yet been approved. I set the subsciption price as $3.00/month, the lowest it would let me use. I was going for $1.00/month, but, what can ya do? I am going to split any income from SubscribeStar with our Publisher, Mr. L. Neil Smith, who is at least as broke as I am.
I am trying to work on some premiums for subscribers, but that is not yet in the done stage yet.
I order my wife’s nutrition drinks from Walmart online. I get free shipping, and can pick-up at my local store. Such a deal! You yourself can also do that while supporting us at the same time by clicking on our links to Walmart.com and ordering your stuff and picking it up for free, so why not do just that?
I having yet another birthday this week. When I get too feeble to continue doing the Enterprise I will have to find a replacement editor and webmaster. Not there yet. So far. Fingers crossed. Feebleness is creeping up!
I am currently reading an excellent book The Cave and
the Light: Plato Versus Aristotle, and the Struggle for the Soul of Western
Civilization by Arthur Herman. It is about how what we call Western
Civilization developed out of the works of Plato and Aristotle. I
remember the first day of History of Philosophy class, when the professor
wrote those names on the top of the blackboard and said that all the history
of philosophy grew from out of their thought. And he was right. If you want,
you can read it too:

And I read a very informative history of North America
from colonial times by Colin Woodard called American Nations: A History
of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America. He shows how
keeping those regional cultures in mind helps make much better sense out of
the history of Northern America. He goes into how each region developed its
original culture, and how they continue to influence events today. Much good
stuff to think about here. So, what are those 11 cultures? He lists:
Yankeedom, New Netherland, The Midlands, Tidewater, Greater Appalachia, The
Deep South, New France, El Norte, the Left Coast, the Far West, and First
Nation. And I must say, looking at things this way really does explain a lot
about Americans and their history. Recommended.

Speaking of books, Neil Stephenson has a new … novella?
Long short-story? (Ha!). Whatever it is, it is a fascinating tale of
building a 20-kilometer-tall building. Hard-core science fiction.
