Easter Greetings

Happy Easter. Augustine said a Christian should be an "alleluia from head to toe." It's a beautiful idea. I wish I could be an alleluia from just my elbow to my wrist, but I can keep trying and this is a wonderful time of year for it. \* \* \* "If it was good for the hunter-gatherers, it's good for you: short spurts of exercise, like you're running from a bear." That's the theory behind [evolutionary fitness](http://www.arthurdevany.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). The proponent is an economist with a good head on his shoulders. [His podcast interview at Econtalk](http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2010/03/de%5Fvany%5Fon%5Fster.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) is very interesting and highly recommended. I'll let you know how my sprint workouts go. They oughtta be comical, if nothing else. \* \* \* Charles Carroll of Maryland: Catholic in the early American era, rich, learned. The American Cicero? Maybe. A new book has been issued about his life. It is reviewed [here](http://www.firstprinciplesjournal.com/articles.aspx?article=1387&theme=home&loc=b&ref=thedailyeudemon.com) (though the review frustratingly doesn't cut to Carroll until a third into the piece). \* \* \* [Jim Grant contemplates what the world would think of the U.S. Treasury's debt issuances if it didn't have its own printing press](http://www.zerohedge.com/article/jim-grant-presents-prospectus-united-states-discusses-death-penalty-us-coinage-debasers?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). From Zero Hedge:

> 'The first risk factor, via the GAO, "improper payments that should not have been paid by the Treasury totalled $98.7 billion, equivalent to 5% of Treasury outlays.' . . . Grant also discusses the Coinage Act of 1792, whose section 19 stipulates 'that the penalty for anyone who would debase the coinage of the US, is death.' By that logic, a firing squad may soon need to be sequestered to Washington. Grant's concludes that there is a 'great suspension of disbelief in out US monetary system on behalf of the world over. One wonders when people will say no.'
