How the war against police harms black Americans by Thomas Sowell - Heather Mac Donald also goes into facts involving police shootings, especially when the cops are white and the suspect is black. Here again, an education awaits those who are willing to be educated.http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2986

Peers and Pied Pipers  by Thomas Sowell "Many parents wonder why they lose their children to a whole new value system," a parent once said plaintively. It is not accidental. There are not only individual pied pipers in the schools but whole nationwide educational efforts to detach children from their parents, as a way of promoting "social change."… There is no way to quantify just how much we are all paying so that a relative handful of people can feel important as part of some elite peer group. But we are paying, not only economically, but in everything from social disintegration to violent crime. Whole societies have come apart when the things that hold them together have been dissolved.” http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2987

Drug Industry Destruction  by Walter Williams If Congress enacts laws preventing price discrimination, both foreigners and Americans will lose because it will reduce the profitability of drug manufacture and hence drug development incentives. I ask you which is preferable: a life-saving drug at a high cost or no life-saving drug at all? Americans would be much better served by trying to do something about FDA's costly approval process. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2980

Closer to home – Mona Charen Denied his Soviet sponsor, America's nemesis in the region, Fidel Castro, was supposed to dry up and blow away. It hasn't turned out that way. Like Rasputin, he is proving very difficult to kill. To the contrary, in the last five years he has scored more political victories than he enjoyed in the previous 20. …The first was the election of Hugo Chavez as president of Venezuela in 1998….Another coup (almost literally) for Castro was the election of Luis Inacio Lula da Siva as president of Brazil in 2002….Ecuador, too, is now governed by a pro-Castro radical, Lucia Gutierrez, a good friend of Hugo Chavez's and a beneficiary of Chavez's financial support. …In El Salvador, the FMLN, the communist movement successfully thwarted by Ronald Reagan's support for the democratic center, is poised to make a comeback.  http://www.townhall.com/columnists/monacharen/mc20030801.shtml

Help make Americans safer by repealing victimless crime laws - for a typical criminal, there's an 80% chance that he will never be caught for any individual act of violence or theft…Why is the clearance rate so low?...One explanation is that police spend so much time arresting people for victimless crimes.http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0308/libsolutions.html
