Wilson: Einstein And the Power of Imagination
“WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF …?”by Don WilsonWhen Time Magazine decided to name a “Person of the Century,” the list of finalists was staggering: Franklin Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, Hitler, Churchill, and more. But the nod was given to Albert Einstein, and the decision is indisputable. More than anything, the 20th Century was the age of physics. It was an era that saw the birth of a radically different way of viewing the universe – a new vision that altered everything from the way we negotiate international politics to the way our children entertain themselves after school. And behind every aspect of that new vision stands one shaggy-haired, absent-minded, avuncular figure.

December 23, 2004 8:00amWhen I was growing up, I often heard the words, “Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose.” Therefore, I always thought those were my only two options - winning or losing. And who wants to lose?
If you think your only two options are winning or losing, you may simply give up and not even try… especially if you think you may not be able to win.

Just call him “Sir”. Tim Berners-Lee, dubbed the “Father of the Web”, has been awarded a knighthood for his pioneering work. Over10 years ago he came up to organize, link, and browse net pages. In 2004 it is still the basis of the net as we know it. Berners-Lee commented that this honor is an acknowledgement that the net was not just a “passing trend”.

UNCLE SAM: OUR SILENT PARTNER
The typical family in the 1950's consisted of a husband who went off to work every day and supported the family, and a wife who filled the vital role of homemaker.
In the 2000's, the typical family consists of two working spouses who, combined, earn barely enough to make ends meet. The woman tends to make less than the man. She generally contributes 40% to the household, while he contributes 60%.
Coincidentally, the tax rate in the U.S. is roughly 40%. As a result, a woman will work an entire year and at the end of the year, what will she have to show for her dedication and effort? In effect, she will place every penny she earns into Uncle Sam’s coffers. She will work an entire year to fund the many government programs which, in their inception sound wonderful, but in their implementation require more taxes to make them work.

by Bob McEwenSince people do not walk around with signs that say “Free Enterpriser” or “Socialist” on them, it is important that we learn to recognize a person’s belief system through his words. Now that you know what the characteristics of each system are, you will for the rest of your life be able to recognize that, “This person thinks like me,” or “This person thinks in a way that I believe is destructive to our system.”When you hear a politician promoting free housing and universal medical care, you will immediately know that he is inclined towards government control. When you hear a politician speak of lower taxes and warn against “bit government,” you will immediately know that this person favors Free Enterprise.Thus, the left side will always want more taxes; the right side will always want less. The left side believes government should have its hand in health care, utilities, and the operations of private industry. Fundamentally, theleft believes that the government is more capable of making the best decisions for people than are the people themselves.The right believes the opposite. They believe that government should only do that which we cannot do for ourselves. The right looks to the Declaration of Independence for the government’s authority: “For this cause governments are instituted up men...for the preservation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The right, therefore, only supports taxation for activities that meet this standard, such as the development of a strong national defense to preserve our liberty.We could continue with example after example, but here is the point: once you understand the two radically different ways of thinking, you can assess whether the politics that a particular candidate advocates will lead our country towards Socialism, or towards Free Enterprise. As was mentioned just a few short minutes ago, you must determine which system you prefer.© Politics As Easy As Pie. Bob McEwen. This column is for exclusive use of E-quad News.

Abraham Lincoln has always been an inspiration to me because of his humble beginning. He had a life of great adversity from beginning to end. He acted miraculously in his ability to learn, grow and become better with each adversity. President Lincoln failed forward his entire life. He had great courage which was a result of great faith and perseverance.
Most people who face but a few of the great struggles which President Lincoln faced would give up, wish for the best and live a life of quiet desperation. Lincoln did expect to learn from each experience and to become better, not bitter. The Civil War was very difficult for him with incompetent Generals, and such a great struggle for this young nation. God smiles when he would see Lincoln constantly pray and seek his counsel on great decisions. Thank God for such a great leader for the great country.
