Foreign trade angst – Walter Williams The next time I see Pat, I might ask him what he would do if we both were at sea in a rowboat and I shot a hole in my end of the boat. Would he retaliate by shooting a hole in his end? http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2006/10/18/foreign_trade_angst

Private Property or the Third Way? Eventually, as has been the case in Santa Cruz, communitarianism leads to an economic system operated by the favored cronies of government bureaucracy. … In this downward spiral of centralized authority, at least three precious things are swept away: the consumer’s happiness (yours and mine), the improvement that comes with rising prosperity, and peaceful trade based on mutual consent. http://www.newswithviews.com/Shaw/michael6.htm

Class size not important The only way to give our kids a decent education is to scrap the public-school system, permanently. When parents can choose which school, teachers, or teaching methods they think best from a supermarket of education choices in an education free market, then class size won't matter much anymore. Only competence and results will matter.  http://www.newswithviews.com/Turtel/joel27.htm

Can we talk? (Free speech) – Thomas Sowell Free speech rights exist for the whole society, not for writers and speakers. When you say that we can hear only what a growing number of censors want us to hear, you are condemning us to grope in the dark when making all sorts of decisions -- about ourselves, our families and the future of our society. Whether Pete Wilson's opinion was right or wrong is a very small issue compared to blinding us all for the sake of political correctness. Can we talk? Apparently, for some people, the answer is "No." http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=can_we_talk&ns=ThomasSowell&dt=10/17/2006&page=2

Some sobering lessons from Muslim taxi drivers – Dennis Prager The appropriate analogy to Muslim taxi drivers refusing to take passengers accompanied by a dog or carrying a bottle of wine would be religious Jewish taxi drivers refusing to take passengers eating a ham sandwich or Mormon drivers refusing to take passengers drinking alcoholic or caffeinated drinks. … religious non-Muslims, especially in America, believe that liberty, too, is a religious value; that is why Christians put a quote about liberty from the Torah on the Liberty Bell. And second, they have no doctrine that holds outsiders bound to their religious practices. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=some_sobering_lessons_from_muslim_taxi_drivers&ns=DennisPrager&dt=10/17/2006&page=1

OJ Trials for Terrorists – Ann Coulter It would be frightening enough to treat terrorism as a criminal law problem if it were Republicans saying it. But these are Democrats. Their idea of a major criminal case is Tom DeLay's campaign treasurer accidentally depositing a campaign contribution into a checking account rather than a savings account.  By contrast, terrorists imprisoned in Guantanamo for trying to kill Americans must be treated as innocent little lambs. Oh, to be there when Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman is exonerated due to previously unavailable "DNA evidence"! http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=17608

Tempting faith – baiting Bush – Marvin Olasky Christians clearly need to be discerning and to accentuate biblical ways of helping widows and orphans. But the irony of Kuo's call for Christians to "fast" from politics is that it would increase the power of anti-Christian politicians. If the saints go marching out, others will march in unimpeded. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MarvinOlasky/2006/10/19/tempting_faith,_baiting_bush
