"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever. But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with." --Ronald Reagan

Subsidies Grants and Abatements By D. Eric Schansberg A recent front-page article in the Courier-Journal illustrates the continuing interest in government offering subsidies to businesses at the state and local levels. Governor Daniels wants to tweak the award process of Indiana’s “21st Century Research and Technology Fund”. Instead, he should end the program. Although the Fund is named for the 21st century, the thinking behind it is more in line with 18th century mercantilism and 20th century central planning. ...

Magical kingdom not so enchanting after allBy Joel Peyton Too often, politicians offer grandiose visions of government-subsidized convention centers to taxpayers. “It’s magic!” they proclaim. “Build one of these magical palaces and your town will reap lucrative events and new businesses!” To hear Gov. Ernie Fletcher talk about Pikeville’s new Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center, for example, one would think that such facilities have magical powers. ...
Will the Vehicle Emissions Testing Centers in Northern Kentucky Close? In response to the Natural Resources Council filing to the Atlanta EPA office, a request to delay shutting down the testing centers, Larry Brown, Co-Founder of VETO the VET, says "it is an obvious attempt at delay tactics, because there are no facts or basis for a federal judge to issue a restraining order. ...

Ten Things I Hate About Halloween Tuesday, October 25, 2005 I decided to call this article “Ten Things I Hate About Halloween.” I’m not going to belabor the point with a long, drawn-out opening paragraph. On with the reasons: ...
A Strange Land By Andrea CamorianoChapter 01The Time Teens were in big trouble. Andwan Wingsweep looked around worriedly. She, her draconic brother Sanosuke, human sister Nina, and Time Teens were stranded in a strange forest that none of them recognized. Granted, there were plenty of forests worldwide none of them knew – especially in the past, where Andwan’s Differential lay, but still . . .
"What if I told you that there was a magic bullet---something that would improve the quality of your daily life, your children's chances of success in the world, your family's health, our values as a society? Something that is inexpensive, simple to produce and within the reach of pretty much anyone? Miriam Weinstein begins her book 'The Surprising Power of Family Meals' with those two questions and then suggests that the 'magic bullet' missed by so many families is as simple as a shared meal. A 2003 survey indicated that children and teens who share dinner with their families five or more nights a week were far less likely to have tried alcohol, cigarettes or marijuana. 'Those who eat lots of family dinners are almost twice as likely to get A's in school as their classmates who rarely eat as a family.' Now that's something to chew on. Launch a revolution. Have dinner as a family." ---Albert Mohler

"Protecting privacy only seems to matter to liberals when it comes to 14-year-old girls seeking abortions behind their parents' backs, illegal aliens seeking sanctuary from the police, and registered sex offenders objecting to community registration requirements." ---Michelle Malkin
"[T]he simple truth---born of experience---is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people. The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed---where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once." ---Federal Appeals Judge Alex Kozinski
"Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of mankind." ---Henry Grady Weaver
