In the article, Orrin Woodward discusses how absurd government intervention would be in professional sports.&quot; </strong> <br /> <br /> Democracy has spoken. Sources in our all powerful government have leaked to the press that HOPE NBA is rolling out. HOPE - Helplessly Out-skilled People Entering - NBA is an important government policy designed to give the less fortunate an opportunity to participate and share every boy's dream of playing in the NBA. For years selfish, greedy athletes with skills given to them through little effort of their own have taken most of the headlines and playing time in the NBA. Our government and many American voters became concerned about this blatant inequality. What about all the overweight, out of shape weekend warrior guys like Fred Snodgrass? Fred has never been given his fair playing chance to show the NBA what he can do. Fred played basketball in the 8th grade and he even collected NBA cards before Magic Johnson and Larry Bird made the NBA cool again. <br /> <br /> <p align="center"> <a href="http://orrinwoodward.com/ArticleDetail/tabid/143/Default.aspx?Article=4" style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">Complete &quot;American Government Righting Sports Wrongs - NBA Stimulus Package&quot; Article</a><br /> <br /> by Orrin Woodward </p> <hr /> <!-- Article --> <span class="subtitle">Orrin Woodward - <br /> Cycle of Democracy - Alexander Fraser Tyler</span> <br /> <br /> <strong>The following article, &quot;Cycle of Democracy - Alexander Fraser Tyler&quot; was written by Orrin Woodward, founder of the Team. In the article, Orrin Woodward discusses how the state of our union is declining.&quot; </strong> <br /> <br /> The following quote whose origin is believed to be traced back to Alexander Fraser Tyler (Tytler in original Scottish). Regardless of who said it, I believe it is worthy of repeating and expounding in relation to present day America. I have been thinking about this quote and the state of our union for many months. I do not write this article in an attacking spirit, but in a spirit of searching for the right path in a world wandering down blind alleys.<br /><br /> "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over a louse fiscal responsibility, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world's great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence:" <br /> <br /> <p align="center"> <a href="http://orrinwoodward.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2008/11/6/3965183.html" style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">Complete &quot;Cycle of Democracy - Alexander Fraser Tyler&quot; Article</a><br /> <br /> by Orrin Woodward </p> <!-- Article --> <hr /> <span class="subtitle">Orrin Woodward - <br /> Presidential Candidates - Economic Freedom </span> <br /> <br /> <strong>The following article, &quot;Presidential Candidates - Economic Freedom&quot; was written by Orrin Woodward, founder of the Team. In the article, Orrin Woodward discusses the role of government in the market place.&quot; </strong> <br /> <br /> A major plank for any presidential candidate is how they view government s role in the economy. Some candidates view the government as the insurer of the people s welfare; while others, view government s role more like an umpire to ensure all citizens play by the rules of free enterprise. This discussion could develop into many separate books so I give an overview with a couple of specifics cases that will validate the principles. I feel strongly that no government can insure the welfare of its citizens. By the very nature of government, it only receives money from the citizens. How can a government take from its own citizens, pay for all the bureaucrats and still provide more than it has taken? It is economically impossible, which means the plan is to take from those who have money to give to those who don t. There is not one example in the long history of mankind where a reward for laziness has produced more wealth. Not one, ever! <br /> <br /> <p align="center"> <a href="http://orrinwoodward.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2008/1/14/3464700.html" style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">Complete &quot;Presidential Candidates - Economic Freedom&quot; Article</a><br /> <br /> by Orrin Woodward </p> <!-- Article --> <hr /> <span class="subtitle">Orrin Woodward - <br /> Where Have All the Heroes Gone? </span> <br /> <br /> <strong>The following article, &quot;Where Have All the Heroes Gone?&quot; was written by Orrin Woodward, founder of the Team. In the article, </strong>Orrin Woodward discusses the differences between a heroic vs. anti-heroic way of life. Orrin is concerned about the importance of our free enterprise system being taken for granted today. Without the entrepreneur who is the catalyst of growth, the free enterprise system will not work. Orrin does not expect the reader to agree with every point he makes, but he does ask that we seek the truth so that we may all grow in our understanding of what has made America such a blessed country. <br /> <br /> <p align="center"> <a href="http://www.orrin-woodward-articles.com/heroes.htm" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">Complete &quot;Where Have All the Heroes Gone?&quot; Article</a><br /> <br /> by Orrin Woodward</p> <!-- Fifth --> <hr /> </td></tr></table> <!-- CONTENT TABLE --> </td></tr></table> <!-- OUTER TABLE--> <!-- PAGE TABLE--> </TD></TR><TR><TD VALIGN="BOTTOM"> <img src="picts/stretchbar.jpg" width="100%" height="15"><br> <img src="picts/stretchbar-bottom.jpg" width="100%" height="38"><br> <img src="picts/stretchbar.jpg" width="100%" height="15"><br> </td></tr></table> <!-- PAGE TABLE--> <!-- COPYRIGHT --> <TABLE cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tr><td WIDTH="10"> <IMG SRC="picts/spacer.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="10" border="0" alt="image"><br> </td><td ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <span class="copytext"> &copy;Copyright 2004 Orrin Woodward All Rights Reserved<br></span><br> </td><td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="TOP"> </TD><td WIDTH="10"> <IMG SRC="picts/spacer.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="10" border="0" alt="image"><br> </td></tr></table> <!-- COPYRIGHT --> </BODY> </HTML>
