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
about GM foods. GM means "genetically modified," which means scientists
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

jurisdictions. One local Pennsylvania police chief is helping to lead
the way, asking ... MOREThomas Sowell: Liberalism Vs. Blacks
Evidence can be a real inconvenience. There is no question that liberals do an impressive job of expressing
concern for blacks. But do the intentions expressed in their words
match the actual consequences of their deeds? San Francisco is a classic example of a city unexcelled in its
liberalism. But the black population of San Francisco today is less ... MORE

A. Barton Hinkle: Spending Cuts Are Mostly Fiction
Would you like to save $20,000 this year? Of course you would. Here’s how: Plan a month-long vacation to Disneyland, and budget $20,000 for the trip. Then don’t go. Presto! You just “cut” your family budget by 20 grand. This sounds absurd—because it is. Yet that is precisely
how Washington operates. A couple of weeks ago, ... MORE
