An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy. --Benjamin Franklin, Emblematical Representations, circa 1774 You have received this email because you are subscribed to Founder's Quote Daily, a service of The Patriot Post, the conservative journal of record.

Fw: What Not to Blame (Paul Jacob on what to blame for the current economic debacle)
March 27, 2009 What Not to Blame You've heard the calumny: The current economic debacle is the result of free markets. This charge -- often made with lip-smacking glee -- makes no sense. I've discussed some specifics, before. Here are three more points: 1. We haven't had a free market. We live in a heavily regulated, subsidized, coddled-and-attacked, over-taxed society. If the current debacle proves any system unfeasible, then the one proven wrong is the one we have. It's the mixed economy that has proven to have worse than mixed results. 2. Many on the left as well as on the right like to pretend that Republican talk of free markets has been effective. Both sides lie. The alleged party of small government and free markets pigged out at the government trough, increasing the size and scope of government. To not see growth of regulation and spending and government debt under Republican governance is to not see the corpulent elephant in the room. 3. Blaming free markets is especially galling to actual proponents of free markets for a historical reason, too: Our idea grew up in reaction not to socialism, but to a system of government interference much like what we have today. Adam Smith called it mercantilism. Thomas Jefferson called it Parasite Institutions. And it's the parasite institutions that caused the current mess. This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob. Paul Jacob is President of Citizens in Charge and the Citizens in Charge Foundation, which sponsors both Common Sense and Paul's weekly Townhall Column. The opinions expressed in Common Sense are Paul Jacob's and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Citizens in Charge or the Citizens in Charge Foundation. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ This is a Free Speech forum.

Fwd: City of Springfield News Release - South District Station Reduces Hours of Operation
Do we need this position staffed from 7 AM to 11 PM seven days a week ?? I guess I would require an audit of this department to see what are the busy time vs what times are incredibly slow. Does this position do anything else during the periods of slow request?? -- Forwarded message -- From: c...@springfieldmo.gov Date: Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 2:53 PM Subject: City of Springfield News Release - South District Station Reduces Hours of Operation To: t.ma...@gmail.com Beginning April 1, 2009, the Springfield Police Department South District Station front counter (Records) hours of operation will be reduced to Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The current hours of operation are from 7 A.M. to 11 P.M., seven days a week. Three records clerk positions are currently frozen because of the City’s budgetary shortfalls so this change will allow us to move some of the current clerks at the South District Station to the main Headquarters building to insure that maximum service is available at the main headquarters building. Police Department headquarters; located at 321 E. Chestnut Expressway will continue to be open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. There is a telephone outside the front door of the South District Station so that a citizen needing immediate assistance can call for help from the Communications Center.

Re: Fwd: City of Springfield News Release - South District Station Reduces Hours of Operation
I don't believe the 911 call center is in the south building, but I do know the guy who heads up that department so I'll give JR. a call an ask On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 4:08 PM, James Hornaday Jr. rail...@sbcglobal.netwrote: Tom: Good questions. I have two more that might be pertinent. If the South District station is shut down (for any reason including budget cuts), are all 911 calls and records associated with those calls AUTOMATICALLY switched over to the main police HQ? God help us if every call doesn't get switched over and there is no recording of calls just because there is no one at the South District Station. If everything is indeed kosher, do they really permanently NEED all the clerks at the South Station on a 7/24 basis? Hey, I'm asking from ignorance. Let's just be thorough in our questioning and directions for auditing.

He really hit a home run here, but in asking a few people about him or the Hannity remarks, I find no one who really has paid any attention to people like Daniel Hannan, the answer, most people want to watch American Idol and they have their heads stuck where no sun shines.
