Recently, my son, who is in the first grade at public school was asked what he studied. He lives with his mother for now and I hadn't seen him in three years. His answer was "extinct and endangered animals" which horrified me. This is what they teach first graders these days?

Anyhow, rants aside, it got me to thinking about extinction and what might be going away soon. Did you see today's stock market FRiend? Have you followecd the situation in Cyprus, Greece and most of Europe? How's that 401K working out for you? The value of your house goes down and the taxes go up.

This week I've been playing with some Relative Worth calculators on the Internet and though they vary widely from one commodity to another, the average inflation rate since 1955 (the year I was born) until now is 766.3 percent. That means it now takes between $8.66 up to $36.40 to match the value of a 1955 dollar (and don't even look at the price of gold). The rate is skyrocketing as the Fed prints and pumps more dollars into the system to prop it up and as our debt and deficits rise we are in a downward spiral that seems irreversable. Money may not be going extinct, but the relative worth of that money and what it can buy is plunging and out of control.

Studying the Weimar Republic several stories struck me. Paper money became so worthless that people burned it to stay warm because it was cheeper than wood or fuel. By the end you needed a wheelbarrow to deposit a days wage in the bank. One story sums it up in horrorfying sadness. A man turned his back on his wheelbarrow of cash only to find a thief had dumped his worthless money on the ground and stolen the wheelbarrow.

Will it happen here? Does history repeat itself? Does a bear sit in the woods?

Tonight, Drumbo salutes Money, the want of which is the root of all evil, but can a Free Republic survive without it?

Where was I? In Germany...trying to raise my first (and only) baby! :)

It was a very good year. A few months later man walked on the moon. The Beatles were big...Carnaby Street was the place to be in London...and everyone got the London flu, including all of us. Ugh!

Just watched the 2nd Installment of Atlas Shrugged last night. I liked it even better than Part 1.

I can’t wait for the third one.

April 6, 1969? The Drumbo archives say I was finishing a three night stand at Peobody's Warehouse in Virginia Beach with Headstone Circus, opening for The Whole Damned Family. Was I playing in an adult beverage establishment at the tender age of 14? You bet I was, lol. What a summer 1969 was! My folks shipped me off to Hargrave Military Accademy that June to "straighten me out", where I joined the ancient and accepted "Hargrave Combo" which we renamed "Third Stone From The Sun" and cranked out Hendrix and Cream tunes!

[Publius]

Oh my. Who remembers Franz Lehar today?

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]
