Preserving The American Political Philosophy

The stat's for number of pages read and time spent are pretty good. The top line in larger fonts represents the national numbers- also good for number of pages read and length spent reading- considering this is the internet. I don't know who you are but thanks for taking the time to read what I write.

Andersen Studio is a great resource for revitalizing an east Coast Ceramic slip casting business but we need to connect with entrepreneurial influencers who can help us to launch a successful crowdfunding project. http://andersenstudiokisckstarterdiaries.blogspot.com/

TWEET THIS ! http://goo.gl/f0GPqy Quietly, the Small Enterprise Growth Fund has changed its name to The Maine Venture Fund , leaving the world to wonder why. Freshening up their image? Having numerology concerns? Or perhaps for a legal reason that one can only fictionalize upon- but there it is - The Small Enterprise Growth Fund is now being called the Maine Venture Fund- just another episode in the ongoing linguistic re-configuration of reality. Website (for more information):  http://www.segfmaine.com/index.php Overview:  The SEGF is a professionally-managed venture capital fund that invests exclusively in Maine companies who demonstrate a potential for high growth and public benefit . The Fund has been actively investing in Maine companies since 1997, after its creation by an act of the Maine Legislature in 1995 to provide Maine companies and entrepreneurs access to patient sources of venture capital. The fund has received $13 million in capital contributions from the Sta

John Baldacci, the state was paid $125 million plus a small percentage of the annual profits between $7 million and $9 million per year over the contract’s 10-year span. The company doing the work, however, made about $36 million each year in profit. Now how unfair is that- the company DOING THE WORK is making a bigger share of the profits that the corporation of Maine?  Gotta change that ! And I am sure companies will be rushing to compete for the contract especially after the University of Maine business consortium (a kinder, gentler way of saying public- private oligarchy), arranged to have the PUC terms of agreement changed in the Wind Baron Wars *  in order to chase Norwegian company Statoil out of Maine so that Maine State Inc could cre

Under state capitalism cloaked in the language of quasi's and public-private relationships. the Maine State legislature accommodates the interests of state capitalism and/or it's chosen private beneficiaries by routinely rewriting the laws. When the state liquor contract laws were re-written to accommodate one company while making the incentives system of another bidder illegal, why was Governor Lepage so disappointed that there was only one bidder- the one for which the law was tailor made? http://americanpoliticalphilosophy.blogspot.com/2014/09/oops-maybe-maine-state-inc-owned-liquor.html

TWEET THIS USING THIS SHORT  http://goo.gl/aFQQ4q This is an interesting new development coming out of New Hampshire. When I first saw these words "Governor Hassan Ceremonially Signs NH Benefit Corporation Act at Badger Balm"- I thought Uh Oh New Hampshire is now going the way of Maine- but upon further reading I found this was not the case. This is a bill about Benefit Company certification . I think I mostly like it. Over the years of operating as a private enterprise, which has donated to umpteen hundred non-profit causes, I was often offended by non-profits as well - especially when I found them operating in the free market while conducting practices that go against the conventional standards of the free market - and when asked why would  answer such as "because we serve the public good" always with the undertone of "if you are not non-profit then you do not serve the public good" and I know this is not the case. There are plenty of private en

The Prelude to Andersen Studio's Crowd funding Series is my own creative project for having a mold produced by an outside American ceramic slip casting company of my Tufted Titmouse Sculpture- which is also the beginning of the new Andersen Studio Design and Limited Editions division- ready to launch at the end of the crowd-funding series http://andersenstudiokisckstarterdiaries.blogspot.com/2014/09/mackenzie-andersens-tufted-titmouse.html
