Government-Enhanced Disaster Earthquakes, tropical cyclones, tsunamis, and flooding strike the wealthiest as well as the poorest nations, but the loss of life can be much higher where income is low. http://www.mises.org/fullstory.aspx?Id=1713

I am a conservative Christian and the religious right scares me too – Chuck Baldwin The Religious Right offered virtually no resistance to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the passage of the Patriot Act, or the recently created position of National Intelligence Director. Neither did the Religious Right offer even a whimper of protest as President Bush and Republicans in Congress created a first-ever national ID card in the new intelligence bill, which eerily has more in common with early Twentieth Century German and Russian intelligence institutions than anything envisioned by America's Founding Fathers…. Of course, the sad truth is, neither George W. Bush nor the Republican Party in Washington, D.C. represents genuine Christian or even conservative principles. If they did, they would take their oaths to the Constitution seriously and then neither liberals nor conservatives would have anything to fear, for the U.S. Constitution protects the rights and freedoms of all men.  http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/speech_religiousright.html

Property Rites – Thomas Sowell The biggest losers are those families who are deprived of housing and those families who are deprived of the standard of living they could have if they did not have to pay for sky-high rents or home prices due to an artificial scarcity of housing.  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4076 and Part 1 http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4077

Free lunch “safety” – Thomas Sowell If a drug is not "safe," they say it should not be allowed on the market. But nothing is categorically safe…Some people can die from eating ordinary wholesome foods like salmon or peanut butter. If the government banned every food that was fatal to someone, we might all die of malnutrition. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4075  and part 2  The government will allow you to risk your life for the sake of recreation by sky-diving, mountain climbing or any number of other dangerous activities. But it will not allow you to risk your life for the sake of avoiding arthritis pain by taking Vioxx.  … The best that the rest of us can do is to stop calling their ego trips idealism. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4074

The Joseph Goebbels journalism award – Thomas Sowell Events of this past year have shown the need for a special award in journalism for those who think that the purpose of reporting news is to cause the public to adopt the political views of those who do the reporting. Therefore this column announces the first annual Joseph Goebbels award for that journalist who best exemplifies the spirit and the practice that Dr. Goebbels pioneered. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4070

U.S. Should not help tsunami victims The question no one asks about our politicians' "generosity" towards the world's needy is: By what right? By what right do they take our hard-earned money and give it away? http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4072 

Public education brainwashing - John Dewey lived from 1859-1952, overlapping the adult life of Roger Nash Baldwin (1884-1981) by 40 years. Both were educators, both shared in the 1920 founding of the ACLU, and both were communists, albeit that Dewey was an anti-Stalin Marxist while the younger Baldwin was a CPUSA (Communist Party of the USA) Stalinist. … Dewey and Baldwin's goals of destroying America's democratic republic from within will be completed unless we who understand this pattern sound a very loud and urgent wake-up call for the United States of America. http://www.newswithviews.com/public_comm/public_commentary18.htm
