To The Eagle: Politicians are classes of individuals we can’t have arrive soon enough, but then we are perhaps more than happy when they leave; the feeling is like the day of buying and day of selling a boat. But it is with great disappointment that the Cathlamet mayor George Wehrfritz will not run for reelection in November. While a few of you might feel relief that he is leaving, it is too hot in the kitchen, I think there is an overwhelming feeling for many of us to compliment his vision and accomplishments to help Cathlamet grow and i...
To The Eagle: Even if Obama and his minions got every gun control and background check law they wanted, the next school shooting will go off as planned or conceived or whatever serves as creative fermentation in the minds of the deranged souls who do these things. Lifting the punch line from an old joke: They are crazy, not stupid. No matter what the law reads, they will equip themselves with whatever armament, artillery or explosive device suits their feverish fantasies. Here’s a thought experiment: The population of the United States is aroun...

To The Eagle: Where was I? “Money is an agreed upon medium of exchange. It is also an idea backed by confidence.” Recent reading indicates it may well have been goldsmiths who issued receipts to people who brought them gold who actually started the current system of money. Makes sense when you think back to the now defunct gold standard, silver certificates, and the fact that pre-federal reserve, the money in the USA was backed by something of value. Unfortunately today it is nothing more than key strokes on a computer that create money. In...
