Overnight Open Thread (1-6-2013)Probably - since it all depends on who's measuring your net worth and which yardstick they're using. The WSJ looks at the various government cutoff levels for determining when people are considered 'rich': It isn't as easy as you might think to determine who is rich. There are many different yardsticks devised by Uncle Sam, banks, brokerage firms and other institutions. The thresholds-as low as $44,000 for people receiving Social Security benefits-matter because they determine the taxes you owe, the college aid you receive, the investments you have access to and the fees you pay. But the American people decided in November that the 'rich' need to Welcome to Your New 2013 Paycheck You 'Rich' Americans
Bob Owens: Of Alarms, Militias, and Destiny What made "Revere's ride" special was that he wasn't just a man. He was many men and women in a deeply interconnected network linked by the a common cause of Liberty. New Hampshire Legislator: We Need to 'Restrict Freedoms' of Conservatives Here's what NH 3rd District State Representative Democrat Cynthia Chase wrote on a blog: "In the opinion of this Democrat, Free Staters are the single biggest threat the state is facing today. There is, legally, nothing we can do to prevent them from moving here to take over the state, which is their openly stated goal. In this country you can move anywhere you choose and they have that same right. What we can do is to make the environment here so unwelcoming that some will choose not to come, and some may actually leave. One way is to pass measures that will restrict the 'freedoms' that they think they will find here. Another is to shine the bright light of publicity on who they are and why they are coming." Yes let's shine the light on those who would restrict people's freedom for having the wrong political beliefs. Here is the face of tyranny: A Great Stagnation in Action Movies Is the great age of action movies over now? Still, there has been major progress in action movies, at least if we are willing to accept a particular semantic switch. I much prefer Goldfinger to the newer Bond movies, but I also don't think of it as an action movie. It doesn't have much action, although I don't think people at the time felt that way. By my possibly distorted standards, the Bond movies start being action movies only with Diamonds are Forever. There are a zillion "prepper" books each one with more elaborate schemes and crazier than the one before it. Underground bunkers are only the tip. Selling doomsday (vs wilderness) survivalist advice is big cottage industry. I refuse to pay for this nonsense. The Survival Library is an open online archive of self-sufficiency, self-reliance instructions, PDFs, and videos that appear on other sites for free. It is easy to weed through. Some of the information, like welding instruction, or raising rabbits, or how to start a fire with no matches is useful whether or not you believe that the UN is sending black helicopters to take away your machine gun in the basement. The free downloadable PDF of the 500-page LDS (Mormon) Prep Manual is particularly interesting and for most normal people, all the prep literature you'll ever need. 8 years ago Misao, now 88 years old, found a kitten in an abandoned shed. Since then they've been inseparable. Porn, protectionism, and the black-market origins of the American condom industry In March 1873, Congress passed the Act for the Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use. The new law came to be known as the Comstock Act, named after anti-vice crusader Anthony Comstock. Weekly AoSHQ Commenter Standings Top 10 commenters: Top 20 sockpuppeteers: The group. Yeah.
