The spend we're in...
Due to the increase in the number and size of our grandchildren, it became apparent recently that we were going to need a larger vehicle, regardless of gas prices. My wife is the shopper in the family, so most of the decision making fell to her. It was an exhaustive process to decide on the best vehicle, best gas mileage, best trade-in deal, best price and best warranty before she was able to tell me which one I wanted, and where we would spend our money.
Guilty as charged...
In a recent Courier Times article, my honorable Republican opponent for this fall's District 54 race, Tom Saunders,

In 1999, Andrew Horning, the Libertarian candidate for Mayor of Indianapolis, introduced this issue into the public debate. In 2001 the LPIN proposed a simple plan that would have taken the first steps towards eliminating property taxes in Indiana while making existing taxes more fair.
A Libertarian Perspective on...Rights vs. abilities
By Rex Bell
Stinky Wilmont was the biggest kid in the 5th grade at Millville Grade school. I suppose his size could have been attributed to genetics. As I remember, his mother was a woman of rather large proportions, and his father, though not as rotund, was still a mountain of a man. At least they seemed pretty big to me at the time.
