Brad Edmonds' Columns
"It is no exaggeration to say that what we might already have accomplished is unimaginable. Nor is it an exaggeration to say that the obstacles placed in the way of such innovation are nothing less than criminal on a planetary scale." Column by Brad Edmonds.
"MTV wants its audience to join the mindless minions who make up the majority of the voting public. Casting a vote for a candidate is an undeniable testament that you believe forcible government is legitimate. Your vote will be construed by whoever is elected as your approval of his future actions in office. The more hip MTV can make voting seem to be, the more the insidious assumption that forcible government is morally valid will seep into the unconscious mind of the masses." Column by Brad Edmonds.
"But economic trends are the product of hundreds of millions of consumers making decisions, each in his own best interest, every day. Government can do nothing about this without creating millions of losers for the benefit of a very few. This will always be true, in the grocery business as in every other." Column by Brad Edmonds.
"...a quote...shows the possible dumbheadedness of the thinking behind this movement: 'We are attempting to rescue products that are in danger of dying out because there's no market for them.' If 'no market' means people don't want the items, the movement is doomed." Column by STR's free-market food critic Brad Edmonds.
"It is not wise to pledge your future allegiance to other men who may later behave en masse in ways that offend your conscience or that lead to great harm for many; nor to forms of government that men have created...." Column by Brad Edmonds.
"None of us has the imagination to predict either how the market can suddenly make life better, more interesting and enjoyable, and less expensive at the same time; or how legislators will find a way to take consumer dreams and turn them into bland, inefficient, overpriced realities." Column by new Root Striker Brad Edmonds.
