 White Boxer Short with Knowledge is realizing that the street is one-way, wisdom is looking both directions anyway. $12.99 The Classic Boxer. Heavyweight, soft 100% cotton material, false fly and longer out-seam make these boxers ideal for party favors or promotional give aways. Available in Adult S-XXL.  Realizing the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle: Choose format-CD ($69.95) $68.99 Eckhart Tolle takes a simple concept that we have all heard... live in the "now", not the past or future... but presents it in Audio in a compelling, life-changing way... somehow precisely defining and explaining every aspect but doing so in a zen-like, simple yet deeply complex way. I was introduced to this by a psychologist friend of mine and it has blessed my life. I have been able to access pure feelings I have not had since childhood. Tolle has a unique and thorough way of explaining things in English that is remarkable for a non-native speaker. A truly brilliant man who has considered every aspect. The only negative for me is that later parts of the presentation get into somewhat personal global philosophies that are not for everyone. The gist and true gems are presented in the first half and can be of value to anyone. V. Granquist  Realizing Freedom: Libertarian Theory, History, and Practice $29.95 In our time, the open society around the world has come under severe attack including in the United States, going back to at least Franklin Roosevelt's administration and continuing more recently with the administration of George W. Bush (who relied on state intervention "to save the free market" sic) and that of Barack Obama. Individual rights are being replaced by affirmative action; private property is undermined by socialist ecology; the war on drugs is destroying individual liberties; state education (as opposed to "public education" because private education is also for the public) has turned into indoctrination; public expenditure, federal debt and fiscal deficits are increasing at an exponential rate; compulsory bailouts with other peoples' resources are paving the way for another crisis; legislation is on its way to intensify socialized medicine; the so-called Social Security program will soon go bankrupt; the monetization of debt and the manipulation of interest rates by the Federal Reserve are destroying the dollar; and there are always new wars to fight in the name of security. In this climate of affairs nothing could be more timely than the collection of brilliant and provocative papers by Dr. Tom G. Palmer, Realizing Freedom: Libertarian Theory, History and Practice, published by the Cato Institute. Civilization means understanding and endorsing certain values and principles, which in turn depends on an open debate of ideas. This collection of essays provides a unique and insightful perspective on classical liberalism. Palmer's arguments are powerful and combine the abstract with the tangible in unusually well written and thoroughly researched essays. They are a philosophical feast, touching on a board range of topics. It is an honest and outspoken voice. It is entertaining and enlightening. The essays are a sweeping blow to those who advocate collectivism and they reinforce the stand of those of us who believe that a free society is a much better place to live for all persons of good will.
