  • A Time to Fight

    —Reach Upward

    “Evil rarely comes upon us all at once, and liberty is rarely lost in one stroke.”

    Our federal government is out of control. The sprawling government we have today is markedly different from the one bequeathed to us by our Founders, which “was strictly limited in its scope, guaranteed [...]

  • Little Local Politics: Election Outcomes

    —Reach Upward

    Back in September my city held a primary election to narrow the race for mayor from three candidates to two, and to reduce to four the field of five candidates for two city council seats. The incumbent two-term mayor was ousted in a tight three-way split. The remaining candidates were [...]

  • A Child's View of a Surgery

    —Reach Upward

    I grew up during that golden era when doctors insisted on subjecting nearly all children to a tonsillectomy. At the ripe old age of nine, most of my friends had already been tonsil free for some time.

    Times had changed since my oldest brother had been de-tonsilized in an [...]

  • Methinks They Poll Too Much

    —Reach Upward

    We are a nation driven by polls. Much of the news every day oozes with the results of polls. Some politicians appear to govern according to polling. Anyone promoting anything repeatedly cites polls backing them up. Experts spend time slicing and dicing polling data and our news organizations regurgitate the [...]

  • Super Fed to the Rescue!

    —Reach Upward

    This morning I began quickly reading this WSJ article touting six specific regulations that its authors claim would quickly stabilize our nation’s problematic financial markets.

  • The Laws of the Uncivilized

    —Reach Upward

    Some time ago, my local newspaper published a letter to the editor calling for harsher treatment of people that kept dogs that harmed or threatened others. The writer suggested an escalating scale for repeated offenses. The severity of the suggested punishments, the writer felt, would provide a disincentive to owning [...]

  • The Future of State Government Revenues Is Now

    —Reach Upward

    Back in the dim ages of, oh, three to five years ago, Utah’s politicians reveled in unprecedented ‘surplus revenues’ several years in a row. We had a popular pretty-boy governor with a big government agenda and a legislature that was busy figuring out its own priorities for growing state government. [...]

  • Oh, the Inanity!

    —Reach Upward

    “They will reap the whirlwind,” a middle-age acquaintance prognosticated recently while speaking of the explosion of electronic social networking, particularly among the younger generation.

    “Eventually they won’t know how to interact verbally or how to read body language. They won’t know how dating or courting works and they’ll end [...]
