Getting the drug war you paid for
----------
by Vin Suprynowicz
"Unless you're in favor of legalizing all drugs, right now, then
watching [the missionaries killed by Peruvian drug
warriors] choke and scream and bleed and drown in some distant muddy
jungle river is exactly what you asked for, what you pay your taxes for,
and what you ought to have to watch on videotape every night before you go
to sleep."

A free market would avoid blackouts
-- now
by George Reisman
An economist explains the obvious: "All that needs be done to avoid
blackouts [in California] is to raise the price to the extent necessary to
reduce the quantity of electric power demanded to the point that it will
be within the limit of the ability to supply electric power. Then there
will
be no blackouts."
