A system where the consumer is king. Humans have been using tires since the dawn of the automotive age. But today’s tires aren’t much like their predecessors. Instead of being made with natural rubber, for example, they’re fashioned from layers of materials, including textiles and steel. This is a perfect example of what economist Joseph ...

MORESusan Duclos: Online Ammunition Suppliers
Time to stock up. With conflicting accounts as to whether Wal-Mart is putting off the restocking of ammunition after their meetings with the Obama administration and many local gun and ammo suppliers simply running out of ammunition after a massive surge in sales, it seemed prudent to gather a few sources for ammunition from online. ...

In Britain, defending your property can get you life. Celebrity news from the United Kingdom: In April, Germaine Greer, the Australian feminist and author of The Female Eunuch, was leaving her house in East Anglia, when a young woman accosted her, forced her back inside, tied her up, smashed her glasses, and then set about demolishing her ...

John Stossel: First, The Bad News
We in the media rarely lie to you. But that leaves plenty of room to take things wildly out of context. That's where most big scare stories come from, like recent headlines

add genes, altering the plant's DNA, in this case to make the crop
resistant to pests. Last week, ... MOREWalter E Williams: Are Guns The Problem?
Moral values, not laws, make a civilized society. When I attended primary and secondary school — during the 1940s and '50s — one didn't hear of the kind of shooting mayhem that's become routine today. Why? It surely wasn't because of strict firearm laws. My replica of the 1902 Sears mail-order catalog shows 35 pages of firearm ... MOREJeff Stier: Obesity Police Launch A Needless War

If there’s agreement about anything in our hotly-politicized environment today it is that while we work to find sensible and principled solutions to real-world problems, we also need to do a better job coming to consensuses.

jurisdictions. One local Pennsylvania police chief is helping to lead
