How automobiles cleaned up the environment - Even though the internal combustion engine is less polluting than the animals it replaced, it is not pollution free. But the gasoline powered engines are far less polluting today than just a few decades ago. Successful efforts to make it even less polluting will continue to be made, and some day internal combustion will be replaced by an even less polluting technology. But the internal combustion engine has been a major contributor to the steady progress toward a healthier environment over the past century. http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=031307B

Islam’s quiet revolution – Acton Institute Presumably neither bin-Laden nor the Taliban are thrilled by these transformations. Not long ago, such changes would have been considered revolutionary in the Gulf.  But as the nineteenth-century French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville observed long ago, economic freedom has a way of loosening those bonds that unjustly diminish other legitimate expressions of human liberty -- including, it seems, in Muslim cultures. http://www.acton.org/commentary/commentary407.php

Ann Coulter wants Jews to become Christians – So What? – Dennis Prager Why is it laudable for a liberal to hope that conservatives convert to liberalism, but dangerous and hate-filled when a Christian hopes that Jews or anyone else will go to heaven (that is, after all, Ann Coulter's and most other Christians' primary concern) by believing in Jesus? http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2007/10/16/ann_coulter_wants_jews_to_become_christian_--_so_what

Senator Clinton ignores Social Security Crisis – Star Parker Mrs. Clinton's message to folks who need to hear that their ticket to prosperity is exercising personal responsibility in a free country is that without being dependent on government, their future is hopeless.  http://www.townhall.com/columnists/StarParker/2007/10/15/sen_clinton_ignores_social_security_crisis

Academic cesspools – Walter Williams When college admissions officials make their recruitment visits, they don't tell parents that their children will learn "whiteness is a form of racial oppression," or that they sponsor racially segregated orientations, dorms and graduation ceremonies. Parents and prospective students are kept in the dark. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2007/10/17/academic_cesspools

Sabotage in wartime – Thomas Sowell Unwilling to take responsibility for ending the war by cutting off the money to fight it, as many of their supporters want them to, Congressional Democrats have instead tried to sabotage the prospects of victory by seeking to micro-manage the deployment of troops, delaying the passing of appropriations -- and now this genocide resolution that is the latest, and perhaps lowest, of these tactics. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/10/15/sabotage_in_wartime

Clarence Thomas – Thomas Sowell Clarence Thomas' sense of humor is terrific. Whenever I am on the phone with someone and laughing repeatedly, my wife usually asks me afterward, "Was that Clarence?" It usually is. Now, thanks to his book, the public can get to know the man himself, rather than the cardboard image created by the media. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/10/08/clarence_thomas

Until proven innocent – Thomas Sowell How long will we in fact survive as a free nation when our leading universities are annually graduating thousands of students each, steeped in the notion that you can decide issues of right and wrong, guilt or innocence, by the "race, class and gender" of those involved? http://townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2007/10/11/until_proven_innocent

Land of the Free? – Not anymore – Joel Turtel In the Middle Ages, medieval rulers took about 20 percent of their serfs’ produce. Our government now taxes us worse than serfs. If government claims the right to forty percent of your income, it claims the right to forty percent of your labor, and forty percent of your life. In effect, the people we “elect” have put us on a chain gang until May 10th of every year, working for the bureaucrats. http://www.newswithviews.com/Turtel/joel49.htm

The best farm policy is the free market Farm policy distorts production decisions so that farmers plant too much of subsidized crops and not enough of alternatives. … The combined effect of subsidies and import restrictions holds down prices for farmers in developing countries, keeping them in poverty. … The best agricultural policy is to eliminate all government farm programs and let prices be determined by supply and demand in a free market.  http://www.visandvals.org/The_Best_Farm_Policy_is_the_Free_Market.php

Perspective on Jena – Star Parker Black youth today must not submit to the politics of hatred, and not lose perspective that they live in a country that is free. They must not lose perspective that despite the limitations of the human condition -- that the tendency to do evil cannot be eradicated by legislation -- if they work hard, and keep their values intact, their dreams can be achieved. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/StarParker/2007/10/08/perspectives_on_jena
