OK, quick rant. I'm sure many will disagree, but that's why it's a rant.
Plaxico Burress (Super Bowl star) accidentally shot himself in the leg with an "unregistered" gun he had in his pants at a New York City nightclub. He's facing the end of his football career, along with 3 1/2 to 15 years in jail for the simple crime of carrying a weapon. Now I'm no fan of many of these overpaid thugs in the NFL, and their blatant disrespect for the rules, but how is it that we have allowed our elected officials to pass so many harsh laws for victimless crimes?
jpa
Here's a snippet from LewRockwell.com (the whole article is here: http://www.lewrockwell.com/kramer/kramer22.html):
Who's the victim?
To summarize, Burress is being prosecuted not for damaging another person's body or property, for which that person has filed a complaint, seeking restitution and/or damages; he's being prosecuted for not having a permission slip from the State to carry his own property. And the people who helped him get medical treatment are being threatened for not turning Burress in to the State for not having a permission slip and because the piece of his property, for which he didn't have a permission slip, involved in the victimless incident happened to be a gun; and for not cooperating with the State, once the non-crime came to its attention, in helping it gather evidence to prosecute Burress for the non-crime, and possibly to prosecute them for their involvement in the non-crime too.
The despicable treatment by the State of Burress, and the equally despicable threatening of those who went out of their way to help him with his accidental injury, is another example of the State's hegemonic relationship with the people it "serves," as Butler Shaffer has quipped, "the way a cannibal 'serves' his neighbor."
In a free society, Burress would be responsible for paying his hospital bill and for any damage to the nightclub, after which he could put the whole unpleasant accident behind him and get on with his life.
Instead, the State is going to ruin Burress' career and life, and cause unspeakable anguish for his loved ones, by locking him in a cage inside a socialist hellhole for a "crime" that hurt no one except for himself – and even that, just barely. The only victim in this "crime" is Burress.

The Chinese or Radical Islam?
I sent the following email to some friends and relatives yesterday (October 29, 2008). None of them even responded, so I guess they think I'm nuts. Anyway, here goes:
My Dear Fellow Comrades,
I'm probably beating a dead horse, but couldn't resist another reminder about our future system of government.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo155.html
So will it be "Heil Hussein" or "Heil McCain" or "Heil ObaMarx" or "Heil McMussolini"? For now, I'll start practicing "Heil, mein Führer" and then adjust as necessary once we figure out how Oprah's Messiah from Chicago prefers to be addressed! (Oh, "The One" is in Raleigh today! I love the road closings. He's not even been elected yet and He's already disrupting my ability to do business.)
So after the political elitists (that we continue to elect) finish shredding the US Constitution and ruin our country, economy and supposed freedom, who kicks our ass first? The Chinese or Radical Islam? I predict China, but since I stopped putting money in the basket a while back, I'll at least acknowledge the god of Mohammed just in case.
Zai Jian (goodbye in Chinese)
Fi Amanillah (may Allah protect you)
OK, I'll step down from my soap box for now. I'm just venting. Sorry if I offended anybody - well not really.

In case the link to the article doesn't work in the future, here's the contents of the article. It's reprinted without permission from www.lewrockwell.com (I suggest you add that site to your favorites and visit often).
Americans will decide next week whether the next president will be a socialist or a national socialist. Lest you think I exaggerate, consider McCain’ campaign theme of "country first" before everything else – your private life, your job, your children, your education, your marriage, everything. Ask yourself how this differs from the philosophy of German fascism, which preached "the common good comes before the private good" (see Paul Lensch, Three Years of World Revolution).
Or consider the fact that McCain supported the Wall Street Plutocrat Bailout Bill. A defining characteristic of fascism was that all profits were private, but losses were socialized. And oh yes, military imperialism (a.k.a., "national greatness conservatism") and a dictatorial executive were also key features of European fascism. Recall that McCain promised that if elected (paraphrasing), "I will order the Secretary of the Treasury to buy up all of the foreclosed mortgages." Is that really a part of the delegated powers in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution?
Then there is Comrade Obama, who has announced that he wants to "change the world" by "spreading the wealth." Didn’t Marx and Engels say the same thing in 1848? As is well known, Obama has long had a close association with ACORN, the far-left political organization that employed him as its legal counsel in Chicago. It is ACORN-style "community organizing" that Obama claims is his political forte and qualification for running for president. He boasts of having worked with ACORN to register tens of thousands of new voters and has defended the organization against all critics. It is safe to assume that there must be a congruence of interests between Obama and ACORN.
So the question becomes, what does ACORN (and by implication, Obama) stand for politically and philosophically? It so happens that I researched and wrote about ACORN over twenty years ago when I co-authored a book and numerous articles on the subject of "tax-funded politics," i.e., the (illegal) granting of tax dollars to "nonprofit" organizations to fund political activities. ACORN was receiving single grants from the federal government in the half million dollar range as far back as the 1970s.
And what was ACORN doing with your hard-earned tax dollars? According to the 1983 ACORN Members Handbook, "We will continue our fight until the American way is just one way, until we have shared the wealth . . . our freedom shall be based on the equality of the many . . ." Socialism, in other words.
The Handbook published a very communistic-sounding "Peoples’ Platform." With regard to the energy industry, nationalization was recommended in order to "put people before profits," one of the oldest of Marxist slogans. The Marxists never understood that in the free market the only way a business could earn profits was to serve its customers.
All of the public utilities should also be nationalized according to ACORN, so that the prices of electricity, natural gas, etc. could be determined politically according to "social considerations." Nor would there be any discontinuation of service for nonpayment, said the ACORN Handbook, which begs the question, "why would anyone pay their bills under such a standard?"
Price controls would be the order of the day for industries that were not nationalized, and the "health care plank" of the "People’s Platform" called for socialized health care. All hospitals would be managed by "democratically elected community-based committees." "Throw doctors and hospital administrators off the boards of directors, and replace them with a low and moderate income majority," demands the People’s Platform. Can you think of a better way to totally destroy health care in America?
The housing industry would also be subjected to the ruinous policies of price controls and prohibitions of evictions of tenants who failed to pay their rent. Welfare indexed for inflation would be part of "the rights of workers" when out of work, as would a "guaranteed minimum family income." Corporations would be required to have low-income rabble on their boards of directors to give "the people" a "voice."
In short, ACORN has always advocated nothing short of the destruction of American capitalism and its replacement by the dumbest and most destructive forms of socialism. For years, it made millions for itself by "challenging" bank mergers and branch expansions, as allowed for by the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act. In return for millions in donations and promises to make millions more in sub-prime loans to unqualified borrowers (i.e., "the people" referred to in "The Peoples’ Platform"), ACORN would withdraw its protests (usually administered by the Fed) and the banks would be permitted by the Fed to carry out their plans. ACORN worked diligently for three decades to force mortgage lenders, though this policy of legalized extortion, to make bad loans to unqualified borrowers. And their defenders, like Obama, claim that the Community Reinvestment Act and all of the "community organizations" that it empowered had nothing to do with the sub-prime crisis. It was all caused by "greed," they tell us. Have we really become a nation of morons?
So here’s your choice on election day: McMussolini (as Ilana Mercer calls him) or ObaMarx. Take your pick. Or do the patriotic thing and stay home. Don’t vote. It only gives them a reason to claim that "the people have spoken" and that they have a "mandate" to ruin our country.

Sober for six months
OK, I've been telling my friends and family that it's time for me to take a break from drinking alcohol. I do NOT drink and drive, and I'm not going to say I'm an alcoholic or anything like that. But I am saying that I want to make sure I'm in control. A lot of my relatives believe that people in my extended family need to drink in order to be sociable because we're all so serious. I can't argue that. In fact, that's among my biggest fears about this.
I have some things that I really need to accomplish in order to stay out of trouble financially, and that needs to happen after business hours. However, given the choice between a few cold beers or focusing to accomplish those things, I will always opt for the beer(s) if that's one of my choices. So I just need to remove it from the list for a while and see what happens.
Right now, I'm thinking that I'll quit for six months starting on my 52nd birthday, which is June 30, 2008. So that gives me until New Years Eve to remain sober and see if that helps me with my priorities. I quit drinking beer (but nothing else) on my 42nd birthday and survived on liquor and wine for that entire year. It really wasn't that bad because liquor and/or wine are much harder to prepare.
With beer, you just reach in the fridge, pop the lid and drink it.
With wine you have to remove the cork (unless you drink the cheap stuff, which I'm OK with!), find a glass, pour it, re-cork it and put the bottle away.
With liquor, you have to get a glass, get some ice, get a shot glass (I really like to know how much I'm drinking!), get some soda or mixer, put it all together in the glass, find something to stir it with and stir it up. I don't put fruit in my drinks - that would be way too much work.
Anyway, the point is that I'm quite lazy and going through all that work for a drink isn't always worth it.
Here are some random thoughts on what I hope to accomplish:
1. I want to feel better physically
2. Hopefully my memory will improve (or at least not continue to get worse!)
3. Read more
4. Educate myself (this is the main reason - I have so much to learn in order to stay in business and get myself into a comfortable financial position - and all that takes a lot of time that I am now spending with a very nice enjoyable beer buzz)
Here are some random fears:
1. I don't socialize too well without a beer buzz
2. I have a tendency to think way too much in general (family trait?) and a few cold ones can keep that to a minimum, so I'll have to fight that.
3. Beer seems to be the glue that holds together my relationships with a lot of people. I need to stay connected anyway.
4. I truly ENJOY drinking beer! I need to find something else to distract my brain (like reading and educating myself)
That's it for now. I'll spend the next month or so preparing (checking out NA Beer, going without alcohol for multiple days in a row, going to a party or dinner or the bar without drinking, etc. - just to get a "taste" of it). I'll try to post updates as we go along.

Deleted E-Mail Recovery
My First "Technical" Post! I just spent a lot of time recovering some deleted messages for an Outlook user who uses MS Exchange Server. Since I also documented my efforts, I thought I would post the steps here in case they help somebody that picks it up with a search engine. Here goes:
The following steps were used to restore deleted messages from a user’s mailbox when the number of days specified under the Limits tab in the Mailbox Store Properties was exceeded. You can also use this as a general guideline for setting up a Recovery Storage Group. Luckily we had a good backup from about 7 days after the e-mail had been hard deleted by the user (that means the message was deleted from the Deleted Items folder in Outlook). FYI, a hard delete can also be accomplished by holding the shift key while deleting the message from any other folder. Those files will end up in the same folder they were deleted FROM. This was done on a system called “BROOKSERV” running Windows Small Business Server 2003.
Jim Adams, BTSi 5/23/08
**Restore the Exchange Store
Run ntbackup – restore c:\program files\exchsrvr\MDBDATA directory to new directory called c:\Exchange Restore Master Copy (use Advanced button in Restore Wizard to Restore Files to Alternate Location)
**Make a working copy
Copy C:\Exchange Restore Master Copy\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA folder to C:\MDBDATA (this gives us a copy we can mess with – if there is a problem, we still have the Master Copy to copy again)
**Repair the database From Command Prompt:
>CD \MDBDATA
>Path C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin
>ESEUTIL /MH priv1.edb – this verifies the state of the database - when it finishes, scroll up near the top and note that it says “Dirty Shutdown” – this is normal for a file that was backed up while the store is mounted
>ESEUTIL /P priv1.edb – this repairs the database. It takes quite a while!
You can run another ESEUTIL /MH priv1.edb to verify that the state of the database is now “Clean Shutdown”.
**Create an Exchange Recovery Group and put the fixed Store in place
Exchange Manager – Servers – right click on server name (BROOKSERV in this case) – New – Recovery Storage Group…
Right click Recovery Storage Group – Add Database to Recover – there is only one choice – highlight it and click OK.
A Mailbox Store Properties window comes up. Click on Database and note where it expects to find the database (C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Store (BROOKSERV).edb). Click OK.
A new level called Mailbox Store will appear under Recovery Storage Group (if not, click the refresh button on the toolbar). Right click Mailbox Store and click Mount Store. You will get a warning about restored databases – Just click Yes and the store should mount (actually it is creating a Blank store at this point). Click OK when it tells you the store was successfully mounted.
Right Click Mailbox Store under Recovery Storage Group again and click Properties. Database tab. Put a checkmark next to This database can be overwritten by a restore and click OK
Right Click Mailbox Store under Recovery Storage Group again and Dismount Store. Click Yes at the warning about making it inaccessible to any user.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\exchsrvr\Recovery Storage Group and delete all files in that folder.
Copy all files from c:\MDBDATA into C:\Program Files\exchsrvr\Recovery Storage Group. Rename “priv1.edb” to “Mailbox Store (BROOKSERV).edb”. Rename “priv1.stm” to “Mailbox Store (BROOKSERV).stm”. This is based on the observation from step 4c.
Right Click Mailbox Store under Recovery Storage Group again and Mount Store. Click Yes at the warning, then OK after it is mounted.
You will probably have to refresh the page (click the refresh button on your toolbar) in Server Management in order to see the Mailboxes that have been recovered.
At this point, you could just right click a specific mailbox in the Recovery Storage Group and merge it with that user’s mailbox in the main store, but I don’t know if that will recover “hard deleted” messages. I chose to use ExMerge because all I needed was some hard deleted messages.
**Download ExMerge
Just do a Google search for “ExMerge Download” and get the executable from Microsoft. (You might need to hold down the Control key when you click Download since you’re probably on a server!) Save it to a new folder called C:\ExMerge
Run the ExMerge executable, which will prompt you for a location for the files. I suggest you put them in the C:\ExMerge directory.
Navigate to C:\ExMerge\ExMerge. There should be four files in this directory. Copy them all to C:\Program Files\exchsrvr\bin
**Set Permissions so you can use ExMerge as Administrator
Right Click the Mailbox Store under Recovery Storage Group and click Properties. Security Tab. Click Advanced.
Uncheck Allow inheritable permissions from the parent… Click Copy when prompted.
Scroll through the list of Permission entries until you find “Deny” – “Administrator (BROOKSERV)” – “Receive As” and click Remove
Scroll through the list of Permission entries until you find “Deny” – “Administrator (BROOKSERV)” – “Send As” and click Remove
Click OK, Yes, then Yes again at the Warning.
Click OK to close the Mailbox Store Properties.
Log off then back on to update your access token
**Run ExMerge to save user’s mailbox to a PST file.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\exchsrvr\bin and double click ExMerge.exe
Click Next at the Welcome Screen
Leave the Radio Button on “Extract or Import (Two Step Procedure)”, click Next
Leave the Radio Button on “Step 1: Extract data from an Exchange Server Mailbox”, click Next
In the Field called “Microsoft Exchange Server Name”, just type in the name of the server (BROOKSERV)
Click the Options button. Under the Data tab, if you checkmark Items from Dumpster, this will recover “hard deleted” items from the user’s mailbox that were there at the time of the backup. There are numerous other options and tabs that I did not utilize, but could have.
Click OK
Click Next
There should be two choices here – checkmark Recovery Storage Group and Next
Select the user’s mailbox(es) that you want to recover.
Click Next
Leave the Default locale as English (US) and click Next
Click Change Folder and navigate to C:\ExMerge, click Next
No need to change the File Names or to Save Settings – just click Next
The process will take a while depending on the size of the user’s mailbox. Click Finish when the operation completes.
The User’s PST files are not in the C:\ExMerge folder. You can copy them to a shared location or to your local computer.
From Outlook, click File, Open, Outlook Data File and navigate to the location of the PST file. The entire mailbox, along with all hard deleted items is now available.
**Dismount the store and delete files (make sure you at least dismount the store or your SBS Backups will start failing with some strange errors! Also, if you’re going to keep the restored files for a while, you might want to exclude them from backups to keep the backup images a manageable size.)
Right Click the Mailbox Store under Recovery Storage Group and click Dismount Store. Click Yes at the warning.
Right Click the Mailbox Store under Recovery Storage Group and click Delete. Click Yes, then OK.
Remove the entire folder called Recovery Storage Group under C:\Program Files\exchsrvr\
When you are comfortable, make sure you delete all three copies of your restored Stores (C:\Exchange Restore Master Copy\, C:\MDBDATA\ and C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Recovery Storage Group\

Fox News Again
Fox News decided to exclude Dr. Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter from last night's (Jan 6, 2008) Republican Forum. There's a lot of discussion on the Internet about this, so I won't go into more detail. I just wanted to post my most recent e-mail to Fox (yourcomments@foxnews.com). Here it is:
I sent you an e-mail in October 2007 to let you know that I would no longer be watching Fox News or visiting foxnews.com due to your obvious bias during the presidential debates. The withdrawal from my Fox News addiction was difficult, but my eyes have really been opened since then.
Now that you uninvited two of the legitimate Republican candidates from last night's forum (one of them probably being the most successful fundraiser for the 4th quarter), I have decided to start contacting your advertisers to let them know I will no longer purchase their products and services as long as they continue advertising with you. I realize that I am only one person and will have no impact on your business. I can only hope that there are many more like me and that as a group we cause your business as much financial pain as possible.
I would fight to the death for your First Amendment rights regarding freedom of the press. I would even defend your legal (but not moral) right to include or exclude anybody you want from your forum, even under your supposed Fair and Balanced banner. However, as long as we have (the illusion of) a free market system, I will do everything in my power to use that free market to demand fairness from the likes of Fox News.
You should be ashamed.
