- I've been meaning to write an essay for some time now about the idea of government-controlled families. In other words, a perverbial "license to procreate". Brutish as it may seem on the surface, I'd like to examine it rationally. This isn't a concentrated attempt at covering all the...

The Australian competitors in the Olympic games get a lot of government support. I'd say, on a per capita basis, we are doing pretty well. For a country of only ~20 million, we have 16 Gold and 43 medals overall. Social-Democracy! Social-Democracy! Social-Democracy!

Today`s "Guardian" leader says: "Because the United States is losing the will to impose its terms on Iraq, the danger of a client state has receded, which means that politics in Iraq will more and more be a genuine contest. " I think this is the precise opposite of the truth, and I'm not alone...

Two words: Mahar Arar.

In the thread there is a debate that money does not actually belong to the individual. At least not that portion that was made possible due to "societal capital". I flat out reject the notion that my money belongs to everyone. I also reject the notion that my money, in part, belongs to...

Lou Dobbs March 11, 2004 Shanek said the government wasn't the source of the recovery. But this quote makes me think differently on the matter. This one blew me away. What jobs are they exporting? Software engineering jobs. Does any of these free trade types ever keep up with the news...

It seems like every time I turn around, I hear about how Libertarians aren't going to get elected because people don't want smaller government; they're beholden to the government benefits that they receive, or believe that the government is doing good, or whatever, and they just don't want...

Sex. Poor wife. I think she's better off in Thailand.

Got this on the strength of a review in Asimov's...Author is Max Barry. Hilarious send-up of free-market capitalism, taken to it's ultimate conclusion. Well, not ultimate, France is still "socialist". Hehe....People take the last name of the entity they work for, as the title character...

Walter Williams (libertarian economist) has a thoughtful article called "Governed by Rules Not Men". I read the article several times, but the largest thing that rang to me is the difference between a GOP person who is for limited government and a libertarian. To the GOP faithful, limited...

I'm sorry, but I don't care what your political affiliation is, or what you think of the government schools, this is just downright offensive: http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/0104/23teacher.html# So, apparently, a candidate teacher who is too smart, too intellectual, would "serve...

What kind of harm is a government obligated to protect against? Is the government obligated to protect against only physical harm (by the way what constitutes physical harm)? Do they need to protect from fiscal harm? Emotional? Mental? Spiritual? How far is too far when it comes to a...

Hmmm...there's just GOT to be one example of a harmess and effective government safety regulation, right? It's just a matter of looking hard and long enough, right? I've got it—child safety caps! You don't want the little kiddies taking too much medicine, and the only way to make sure that...
