https://mises.org/wire/progressivism-future-really-just-socialism-past Socialism in Disguise Guiding mankind to heaven on earth by transforming society is the quintessential message of socialism, beginning with the “utopian socialism” of the nineteenth century and leading up to our time with the demand for a “concrete utopia.” Yet different from the Marxist mythology that socialism would be the unstoppable successor of capitalism, history shows that the “socialist phenomenon” has appeared time and again throughout history. Instead of being the model of the future, socialism is, de facto, a failed idea of the past. Socialism is the attempt to create a new social order at will. Yet one cannot construct “order” to one’s wishes. The volitional realization of a socioeconomic system results in establishing society as a single state-dominated organization and as such, it is necessarily hierarchical and must be based on command and obedience instead of the free association of the people as it happens in a spontaneous order. President Wilson failed in his plan to bring the United States into the League of Nations and establish an organization to promote a new world order in tune with the visions of the progressives. For some time, the Americans resumed the tradition of individualism and isolationism. Yet with the Great Depression and World War II the chance of transforming the society and putting bureaucratic experts at the top came back with a vengeance under the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With the end of the world war returned the chance to establish a network of international organizations with the mission of organizing society and the economy under the auspices of bureaucratic experts. This happened with the founding of the United Nations and its several subgroups and sister organizations to become active in finance, education, development, and health. The International Push With the launch of the United Nations, progressivism as a program of what James Ostrowski calls “destroying America” has attained a global platform. The main seat of this philosophy has moved into the headquarters of the United Nations Organizations. From its start, the United Nations has been the light bearer of global progressivism. The protection of the environment and “global health” proved to be the ideal pretexts to move forward the agenda of progressivism. In June 1994, the UN Agenda 2021 was initiated by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro and called for the imposition of “sustainable development” on a global scale. While Agenda 2021 was still relatively modest in its demands and nonbinding as to its full execution, the later Agenda 2030 let the cat out of the bag. The new agenda was adopted when the heads of state and government and high representatives met at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in September 2015. At this meeting, they approved the adoption of “Global Sustainable Development Goals” about comprehensive and far-reaching universal and transformative goals and targets. The new agenda describes a program of comprehensive government takeover of almost all aspects of personal life. With no nods to human freedom and market coordination, the document lists seventeen goals that should be met through a bureaucratic takeover of society on a worldwide scale. Behind popular promises such as the end of poverty and hunger, healthy lives, equitable education, and gender equality lurks the agenda to impose global socialism. Demands such as the reduction of income inequality within and among countries, sustainable consumption and production patterns, and building inclusive societies for sustainable development, are parts of an overriding plan to do away with the market economy and to impose comprehensive state planning. Claiming the “perpetuation of disparities between and within nations, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill-health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystems on which we depend for our well-being” (chapter 1, preamble), the conference calls of a “global partnership for sustainable development.” Under the heading of “program areas” the agenda stresses “the links between demographic trends and factors and sustainable development.” The growth of the world population combined with “unsustainable consumption patterns” endangers the planet, as they “affect the use of land, water, air, energy and other resources.” Under point 5.17 of its objective, the conference demands: “Full integration of population concerns into national planning, policy and decision-making processes.” Protecting the environment requires the comprehensive regulation of the world population which in turn makes it necessary to control personal behavior. In short, the adoption of this "new world order" would mean the abolition of private property, or what Mises regarded as the liberal program—a world based on private property. If enacted, this project will fail in the end, but it will bring immense suffering in the meantime. Scary stuff. And yes, this sort of project will fail, and in the process bring incredible suffering to the world's population.

From the newest weekend edition of the Frankfort Times: I guess the city of Peru (about 60 miles or so northeast of Frankfort) is building it's new police station just west of Frankfort next to the industrial park. Who knew? So this is how far the Frankfort Times newspaper has fallen. They apparently can't get anyone to proof read the page 1 headline story.

Frankfort Hot Dogs.

https://reason.com/2020/10/16/the-pope-is-wrong-property-rights-are-human-rights/ Agreed. Just more populist claptrap from the Pope.

I would think a mature athlete would ruminate "We may be getting beat every Saturday, but at least I'm getting my education paid for. My playing days won't last forever......."

I guess a free or reduced-price education isn't good enough anymore.

Chasing Amy : https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/10/chasing-amy/ Yep, Ms. Barrett completely owned all those morons.

Yet another reason not to use Twitter or Facebook. Ms. McEnany's and others mistake seems to be that they believe private entities like Twitter and Facebook have to adhere to the First Amendment. Newsflash: They don't.

Did you hear about the man who only collected rare pennies? He didn't have a lot of common cents.

Interesting name for a documentary, I will have to check it out. Although the only high school Kings in Indiana come from Lewis Cass.........................

I also remember the Aristocrat Pub in Indy/Broad Ripple having a tasty breaded tenderloin.

I'm sure payment in gold coins would also be accepted. But not bitcoin.

WHO Joins Top Epidemiologists in Emphasizing Harm Caused by Lockdowns https://reason.com/2020/10/14/who-joins-top-epidemiologists-in-emphasizing-harm-caused-by-lockdowns/ As one of the comment states: https://twitter.com/justin_hart/status/1316381998345146369 Scott Atlas: Prolonged lockdowns a complete disaster: * Working class & low income people destroyed * 46% of cancers not diagnosed * 50% chemo appts missed * 50% missed immunizations * 200K missed cases of abuse * 25% of young people considering suicide

Ahh, forgot about Arties. They do make an excellent tenderloin, but as you said their hours are really limited. Will have to try the other places you mentioned. Thanks for the tips. And the Nickel Plate B&G as far as I know is now closed: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/fishers/2019/04/02/iconic-nickel-plate-bar-grill-fishers-set-close/3339955002/ My go to tenderloin toppings are pickles mustard, and mayo.

lol, I'm sure he can! Would also like to hear other's opinions as well. Lots of tasty tenderloins out there that I have yet to try.

In Ancient Rome, there were 4 types of poison. Poisons I, II, and III would all kill you with varying degrees of pain. However, Poison IV would just make you really itchy.

Let's hear 'em. Mine would have to be the tenderloin from the now closed Nickel Plate Bar and Grill in Fishers. Man, that was an excellent sandwich. Other great breaded tenderloins I have had over the past several years, in no particular order: * Nick's Kitchen in Huntington * Edinburgh Diner (be warned, they are huge!) * Ray's Drive in Kokomo * Stookey's in Thorntown (also excellent onion rings) * Oasis Diner in Plainfield * Grindstone on the Monon in Westfield * Steer-In Diner in Indianapolis * Upland Brewing Company in Bloomington I'll add others as they come to mind................

Just curious if the ABA has every given anything other than a "Well qualified" recommendation to a SCOTUS candidate?

I attended twenty or so years, pre-class basketball, of sectionals at Memorial Gymnasium in Kokomo. I would call that venue, while certainly one of Indiana's basketball palaces, anything but "neutral". From the allocation of tickets to the officiating..................
