Fan on the field

May 12, 2011 by

I recently had the opportunity to visit and see my nephew’s lacrosse game. I set up my chair and pulled out a bottle of cold water and put it in my LvMI Hugger. The fellow next to me said that he was a big fan of the Mises Institute. He said that he recently read a great article that chronicled the history of human progress by how clean our clothes were and that the government is screwing up the washing machine. That was my recent article “The Attack on the Washing Machine.” I have received several great emails on the topic of washing machines and laundry. It turns out that the little things do matter.

wow, great story. And an excellent example of why stuff like huggers and hats really matter.

Yes, many of our members and readers do know anyone else who is a member or reader of Mises.org. It feels real good to actually met fellow Mises members and supporters. Hats, huggers, and shirts can help make that happen.

I have to report sad news- Australia has also gone down the anti-phosphoros path! I thought we were immune, and I was going to arrange a smugglers’ gang to bootleg the precious contraband into America, and we were all going to clean up nicely (talk about laundering dirty money!). I had plans to be the next Al capone, even if I would need to change my name, but such dreams are now dead and buried!

At least we can wash our clothes in flouridated water.

So so true. Let it be sparkly-clean, forget about the toxins!

Yes, but all the toxins have cavity-free teeth!

Looks like your dream is sleeping with the dishes!

I was shocked when an older gentleman at a party spoke up about “all the Keynsian non-sense” that controls the public outlook. I was completely shocked when all ten people around him simultaneously agreed and started discussing Hayek and Mises.

It’s easier to enjoy a party when you realize the folks present aren’t interested in robbing you.
