I just set up a hosting account at www.nathosting.com . Although they are for sure not the cheapest,hosting just about anywhere is still relatively cheap and I'll tell you why I went ahead and went with NatHosting.

Here's a very informative article written by Ron Paul, Congressman from Texas (down near Friendswood) on his current activities, and their progress on ending the Federal Reserve. This was re-printed on the newsletter I get from Glen Beck. It's a short read and you may know some of this stuff but it's written in such a way as to make some of seem new to me.

Some of you salsa teachers out there who really are pretty good but all you've got in your revenue stream is teaching person-to-person......you're missing the boat. You won't gonna be able to keep that up forever and youre 'brand' might not someday fade from.
If you're really a good teacher, why don't you have any DVDs for sale?
Don't say it's too much of a hassle because it's not. Not with www.kunaki.com .
You just make the video content, send it to them and they'll produce it, package it, deliver it, take the money, and send you the difference between their wholesale cost (about $1.76) and whatever you sell it for.
Check out their site at www.kunaki.com and look at this video I made.
I was just reading that Sarah Palin's quitting didn't really change most people's opinion very much if any. There's a certain group that already didn't like her and there's another group who's opinion of her had little or nothing to do with the governorship of Alaska.
Me? It didn't bother me. I was surprised but it didn't bother me. But I had another thought just now.
Haven't a lot of the liberals been criticizing her for lack of experience and/or supposed lack of finesse or knowledge in some situations?
Well, my thought on that is, "So what? Who's worse in office? Somebody with bad policies and/or morals or somebody who at least has the right principles from which to base decisions and evaluate advice from advisors?"
I'd much rather have somebody like Palin who believes in pretty much the same things that I do. I'm not worried about her making a 'decision' because, for crying out loud, as President she wouldn't be just casually making critical decisions without talking to other people who (supposedly) are 'experienced' in these things.
I'd much rather have a Mac that does what I want it to do than a Windows machine that's totally screwed up.
According to this article, Obama and his administration still think terrorists have Constitutional rights. Or more accurately.....'some Constitutional rights'.
Incredible! What a bunch of idiots.
I just finsished reading a very good book called "Empire" by Orson Scott Card, the same guy who wrote the classic sci-fi story "Ender's Game". This story, "Empire", concerned a hypothetical near future civil war in the US. It was a very good story and I'm going to be posting more about it soon, but I digress......
The book had me thinking more about such things as this Obama news and that puts it (re: Constitutional rights for terrorists) in an interesting perspective.
My point is that if 'we' give Constitutional rights to every Tom, Dick and Harry, especially those that wish us harm, what's the point of even being an American? What was the point our our struggle to become 'one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"?
That would be like a guy working hard to have nice things for his family and then his neighbor coming over all the time thinking he's entitled to borrow stuff. Sure, charity is one thing. But entitlement? I don't think so. Especially when that neighbor (or in this case, the terrorists) are actively seeking to make you like.....dead.
This is more evidence that Obama is anything but 'an American'. An American would always put our interests first and foremost and our safety would be his or her first concern. This Obama clown lives in a utopian dream world. I have no doubt that the Russian are laughing their asses off at him behind his back.
This is not the way that truly great leaders would act...people like Patton, Eisenhower, Golda M........(the former Israeli leader), Teddy Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Nixon, Regan, et. al. would act.
This is a song writer's tool I saw as an ad on something else I was looking at. It's a little rich for my blood right now and not actually something I'm in dire need of but, still, the demo is very interesting and it just goes to illustrate there's more to the songwriters craft (or I guess it could also be used by regular writers too) than you knew.
Of course, if you are in the music business it might be something you're interested in. Don Baarns?
Do you know Don Baarns? I don't know him personally but I do know that he has a very nice blog. It had been a while since I'd seen it and, in fact I don't recall that I ever examined it in detail, but I just looked at it again it's very nice.
I'd recommend it. Don Baarns and www.theunlikelysalsero.com
One thing that I think is very unique and interesting about Don is that he's a musician. A real one who used to (and maybe still does) make money at it. As you probably know, it's not common for musicians to be dancers. Still, Don is a musician and I'm sure that gives him some unique perspectives in his teaching.
That's probably why he posts some very worthwhile posts about music. And not just salsa music either..but music in general. And he posts some good videos too.
This articles implies there's a trend toward parties with less salsa and more of other dances. Is that right?
I don't know, but I definatley am all for more bachata, rueda and kizomba.
In a world where all governments are run by the same king of assholes, what's the eventual end result?
I know, and I'll tell you....but first:
Here's an article I just saw about tha national debt, how it's growing, and how 'experts think...' it'll be a problem (AKA: an understatement). It points out that right now, each and every American ows $37,000.
That's a lot of moolah even in inflated dollars. So what conclusions do I draw from this?
Well, first of all I note that it says:
"......And it's expanding by over $1 trillion a year.
The mountain of debt easily could become the next full-fledged economic crisis without firm action from Washington, economists of all stripes warn.
Unless we demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal sustainability in the longer term, we will have neither financial stability nor healthy economic growth," Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently told Congress.
Higher taxes, or reduced federal benefits and services - or a combination of both - may be the inevitable consequences."
I'm thinking, "No shit, Sherlock!"
Anyway.........do I think it's going to happen?
Yeah, I do. People don't change. As long as we've got the same people or the same kind of people in government, ain't nothing changing. The continency I think is worth looking at is 'what happens when this situation starts to upset the ruling oligarchy's applcart?'
What's going to happen when the situation gets so bad that everybody owes everybody else money that nobody could nobody could ever hope to repay anybody else within the context of tradional, common sense and economic morals.
They will change the in such a way that it supposedly solves the problem but also in a way whereby 'we(i.e. "We The People") have to make some sacrifices'.
More specifically, we'll wind up with a 'big brother' government that supposedly gives us the protection we 'need'.... but ....in return for some liberties that 'they' feel we're no longer mature enough to exercise on our own.
In other words...socialism to the extreme. We're screwed. We get less. They get more. Nothing changes. The assholes are still in charge.
We'll be 'safe' alright. As long as we don't want anything more than everybody else. They......can't solve the problem. They are the problem. We need to simply send them home. Let'm go back to wherever they came from and get a job at Walmart.
Here's an interesting quote from a big time economist that pretty much validates what me and the rest of the Libertarians said all along would happen regard the Imposter-In-Chief's 'stumulus plan':
“We may get positive economic growth driven largely by federal spending, but people on the street will say, ‘Where are the jobs?’”
Yeah, a jobless recovery......if that! I told you, didn't I?
I especially liked the observation in the article that those geographical areas heavily impacted by government spending might fare better than other areas (that function based of 'real world' economics). Here's more indication that government is becoming the 'dog' rather than the tail.....i.e. too fucking big.
My feeling is that it's too late for any easy solution. We're all gonna pay for being suckered into 'real change'.
