"This is one of the strangest places on the face of the earth," observed William Burnett, Commandant of the HMS <em>Ascension </em> in 1858. It remains so today. You might ask how an island can be formally designated a ship of the British Royal Navy, which Ascension was from 1816 to 1922. Children born on the island were designated to have been born at sea, with their birth registered at the parish of Wapping, the sailors' district along the Thames' dockyards in London. No one has ever been allowed to legally live here; there has never been an Ascension Islander. People have been residing here for close to 200 years; some 900 people reside on the island today, with many born here as were their parents and grandparents, going to school and growing up here. Yet all were or are here at the whim of the British Government. The people here have fewer rights than any other British citizens in the world. One of the rights they don't have is private property. The British Crown owns the entire island, and no private entity may own a square foot of it. Tourists would flock here to see hundreds of green turtles laying eggs on the beaches and vast numbers of seabirds, for world-class big game fishing and scuba diving - but the government makes it ludicrously hard to get here. A friend of mine once gave me a t-shirt that says, "I love to sail forbidden seas and land on barbarous coasts." I'm wearing it now. For Ascension is a barbarous coast in a forbidden sea - thanks to its government making it that way. It should be an object lesson to us, for Zero is intent on making America a barbarous government-run land, and one day it may be too late to prevent him. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/forbidden-seas-and-barbarous-coasts/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-6086" class="art-post art-article post-6086 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/cleaning-the-augean-stables/" rel="bookmark" title="CLEANING THE AUGEAN STABLES">CLEANING THE AUGEAN STABLES</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="3:37 pm">May 2, 2013</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jkelly/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> A few weeks ago, the odds an immigration reform bill could pass in both the Democrat-controlled Senate and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives were closer to “none” than “slim.” The main interest Democrats have in immigration reform is the prospect of having millions of newly enfranchised voters voting for them. But there were indications President Barack Obama would rather have the issue than a bill that could pass the House. But the president’s humiliating defeat on gun control and the Boston Marathon bombing have changed the dynamic. After the gun control debacle, Mr. Obama badly needs a “win” on a substantive issue, lest he become a lame duck far earlier than any president before him. He can get that “win” only on immigration. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/cleaning-the-augean-stables/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-6085" class="art-post art-article post-6085 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/a-marriage-is-a-team/" rel="bookmark" title="A MARRIAGE IS A TEAM">A MARRIAGE IS A TEAM</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="3:14 pm">May 2, 2013</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/joelwade/" title="View all posts by Dr. Joel Wade">Dr. Joel Wade</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> Is a happy marriage about compromise? On the surface, I’d say yes, compromise is certainly part of two different people sharing a life together. You can’t do everything you want whenever you want it, etc. But looking at this question a little more closely, I’d have to say an emphatic, “no.” Compromise is not really the key. Compromise is when one person wants a room painted yellow, the other wants it painted blue, and so you compromise and get green. Compromise is sometimes win/win, sometimes not. There are certainly times when you have to compromise, but that isn’t the driving force of a great relationship. What is the driving force of a great relationship? A winning premise; a conception of what your relationship is all about that includes a shared vision of the two of you together. A great relationship is founded on the premise that you and your mate are allies; that you are a team together. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/a-marriage-is-a-team/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-6083" class="art-post art-article post-6083 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/obese-government-is-weak-government/" rel="bookmark" title="OBESE GOVERNMENT IS WEAK GOVERNMENT">OBESE GOVERNMENT IS WEAK GOVERNMENT</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="11:57 am">May 1, 2013</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jkelly/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><div> <div> Evidence mounts in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing that the people whose job it is to protect us from acts of terror haven’t been doing as good a job as they should.

This isn’t the first time bureaucratic ineptitude, political correctness run amok, or a combination of both has resulted in needless tragedy. </div> </div> </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/obese-government-is-weak-government/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-6082" class="art-post art-article post-6082 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/should-almost-everything-be-privatized/" rel="bookmark" title="SHOULD ALMOST EVERYTHING BE PRIVATIZED?">SHOULD ALMOST EVERYTHING BE PRIVATIZED?</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="5:54 am">April 30, 2013</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/rrahn/" title="View all posts by Richard Rahn">Richard Rahn</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><strong> With money running low, government functions become inviable</strong> As a mental challenge, try to think of all of the governmental activities — federal, state and local — that could be privatized. Now, go a step further. Suppose you were required to develop a plan to privatize, or make self-supporting through user fees, nearly every activity of government. Could you or a group of your friends do it? Try it. I expect your success will surprise you. The reason this is relevant is because most governments will reach their borrowing limits in the not-too-distant future, which means they will have to operate on current revenue from taxes and fees. Many governments have reached or are reaching their ability to increase taxes, and income-tax systems will begin to fall under their own weight. Governments will be forced to downsize and privatize — or private citizens and groups will just take over as they are increasingly doing because of failing government schools, for example. The U.S. government was created to protect people and property and to ensure liberty; but more and more often, it does just the opposite. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/should-almost-everything-be-privatized/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-6081" class="art-post art-article post-6081 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/half-full-report-042613/" rel="bookmark" title="HALF-FULL REPORT 04/26/13">HALF-FULL REPORT 04/26/13</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:22 pm">April 26, 2013</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jkelly/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> After this week's developments in the Boston Marathon bombing, it's easy to see why a Marxist sociopath would pretend to be a bipartisan moderate: Tamerlan Tsarnaev stayed home <a href="http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/04/tamerlan_tsarnaev_got_mass_welfare_benefits">collecting welfare benefits</a> and plotting terror while his wife worked 80 hours a week Russia warned the FBI <a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/04/23/brothers-suspected-marathon-bombing-may-have-planned-nyc-next/f2d9nPf1TIGmvo6eW5aAnN/story.html?s_campaign=sm_tw">repeatedly</a> about Tsarnaev, but the FBI let Tsarnaev's listing on a terror watch list list <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-fbi-alert-boston-bombing-tamerlin-0130423,0,275671.story">expire</a> while he was in Dagestan, where he may have gotten <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-boston-fbi-bomber-20130425,0,6531764.story">guidance</a> on bomb-making.

The 5½ years of Napoleon’s exile – October 15, 1815 to his death on May 5, 1821 – dominate the island’s 500-year history. For the last 354 years, since 1659, it has been a British possession. Yet such is the grip of Napoleon that the Brits ceded the home and property of where he lived in exile on St. Helena – called Longwood House – to the government of France. It is French territory, as is his original burial place nearby. Moreover, there is a Consul appointed by the French government, who lives in a diplomat’s mansion on the island. Personally, I have no regard for a megalomaniac responsible for the deaths of millions of people. The Brits should have treated him as a war criminal, executed him by firing squad aboard a ship far out to sea, and dumped his body in the ocean. But no.

Life can be seen as deliberately working against entropy. With our minds, we train our own brains to hold the structure of our lives. The habits that we practice daily, weekly, monthly; they are all based on neural pathways that we have established in our brain that make it easy and natural for us to follow these routines. These habits – if they are good ones - help us to resist entropy and have a sense of meaning, purpose and direction. When you have a plan, and you are persistent with that plan, your habits become your allies. They work for you to reach your goals, so that you don’t have to work against your habits.
