I am not on facebook-twitter addict!


 
I recently learned an interesting fact as my family was up visiting. Apparently people a few of my friends and family have been wondering..

Is Brad on facebook all the time? It seems every 20 minutes he updates his facebook status!

So I figured I'd write this entry to help clear up a few misconceptions.

Most of what I do is automated and this article and the related audio file will explain how it all works.

No Good Deed goes unpunished



 
You're familar with the old adage, are you not?

We try to help others, we try to do the "right thing", and sometimes, even though we have the best of intentions, and the most unselfish of thoughts, things don't always go as planned.

In this podlet, I talk about how that experiance happened to me, when a nice man volenteered to use his truck to shovel my driveway

On Socialism and Dave Ramsey - Pt 1


 

On of my all time favorite podcasts regarding finance, saving money, and just "good - smart" ideas is by far the Dave Ramsey Show (http://www.daveramsey.comm).

Dave Ramsey continues to impress me with his "common sense" advice for getting out of debt and bulding wealth, his free podcast you can listen to his ideas from his radio program, as well as go to his site and find many tips, guides, books, and lessons (including the Total Money Make Over) that will help you get ahead in life.

The only smal critism, I would have - Dave likes to somestimes get up on his soapbox (it is his show afterall) and talk about the 'evils' of socialism, in particular he is talking about government control over our lives. In this podlet, I dicuss some basic ideas / misconceptions and the "philosophy of socialism" as an economic model. I'm not talking about so-called failed implementations of socialism and cases where governments hold power and don't give it up.

Back to concepts, Do individuals have a "right" to the things they need. To each according to his own need. Basic needs and necessessities should be available to all. As a socieity we can help support one another to make this possible.
