| The waves of degeneration and rampant insanity that pass through American culture are
perhaps best demonstrated in the names we inflict on our children. The
Social Security Administration has thoughtfully provided
us with a list of
the top ten male and female names in the United States since 1880, as well as other useless
but potentially humor-worthy information, such as informing idiotic family members that
"Taylor" isn't quite as original as they thought it was, or that when little Michael gets to

on their foreheads to tell them apart. to Reference by jacquez |
| How
I Found Freedom in an Unfree World is back

teaching people how to get rich off the Federal
Reserve's demolition of the US dollar in the
1970s, this book stands head and shoulders above
its cohorts in the self-help genre.
