The new urbanism – can it survive the company it keeps?  (Smart growth) http://www.acton.org/ppolicy/comment/article.php?id=147  also see http://www.acton.org/publicat/m_and_m/2003_spring/bohl1.html  “The difference between the New Urbanism and Smart Growth,” Duany maintains, “is that while both desire the same outcome, the New Urbanism is conceived as private-sector and market-driven while Smart Growth is based on government policy and proscriptions.”

United Nations International Criminal Court is an Evil Institution  - Americans must understand that the UN's International Criminal Court is not a tool to fight terrorists or murderous dictators. Rather it is a sledgehammer in the hands of the very people the rest of the world thinks are "the bad guys." This gang of brutes, in the guise of international diplomats, fully intends to use the ICC as an equalizer to bring down the moral, productive nations they jealously covet and despise. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2943

Earth worshipers cause death in space - These accidents are not primarily the fault of careless engineers, nor are they merely the unintended consequences of bureaucrats blindly following federal rules. They are the result of a philosophy that hold human needs--such as the need for a safe shuttle launch or re-entry--as less important than a concern to preserve the purity of nature from the products of industrial civilization, such as CFCs and asbestos insulation.

NY Times 9-11 scam - You won't see it reported on the Times' front page, so here's the scoop: The Gray Lady is a greedy leech, siphoning off millions of dollars in state taxpayer subsidies for private real estate development disguised as a public good. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2958

Review of the prime movers:  traits of the great wealth creators - Want to make a bundle in business? Locke says you must develop an independent vision, an active mind, competence and confidence. You must be an activist (not a mere "idea man") and be passionate about your work. You must practice the virtues of rationality, honesty, integrity, independence, justice and self-interest (self-preservation). You must buck conventional opinion, which holds that rational greed is practical, but morally suspect. Locke shows us that rational greed is practical precisely because it's moral. Immoral approaches to business tend, in contrast, to dissipate wealth. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2360
