"How long ago was it that Allan Greenspan was an economic genius?" That statement, economic genius, is a contradiction in terms. The entire Greenspan era was a giant ponzi scheme, where prosperity depended on ever increasing debt. He was Knighted for his economic genius. Madoff too will be going somewhere big. But not London. Madoff won't be sharing a bunk with Sir Greenspan, because one's scheme was legal, the other was not.

Raid on Family's Home and Organic Food Co-Op Challenged posted December 17, 2008 Columbus - The Buckeye Institute's 1851 Center for Constitutional Law today took legal action against the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) and the Lorain County Health Department for violating the constitutional rights of John and Jacqueline Stowers of LaGrange, Ohio. The Stowers operate an organic food cooperative called Manna Storehouse. ODA and Lorain County Health Department agents forcefully raided their home and unlawfully seized the family's personal food supply, cell phones and personal computers. The legal center seeks to halt future similar raids. The complaint was filed in Lorain County Court of Common Pleas. "The use of these police state tactics on a peaceful family is simply unacceptable," Buckeye Institute President David Hansen said. "Officers rushed into the Stowers' home with guns drawn and held the family - including ten young children - captive for six hours. This outrageous case of bureaucratic overreach must be addressed." buckeyeinstitute.org
