"I can't believe I got dispended," says 7-year-old. Fictitious friends and games of make-believe may be allowed on the
playground at one Colorado elementary school, but imaginary weapons
certainly are not. The family of Alex Evans, a second-grade student at Mary Blair Elementary School in Loveland, learned that rule the hard way ... MORESara Gates: Imaginary Grenade Causes Alarm For Officials

Jacob Sullum: The Perils Of Pushing Pot Prohibition
Will administration oppose hope and change? Three months ago, voters in Colorado and Washington
approved ballot initiatives aimed at legalizing the possession,
production, and distribution of marijuana. A month later, Attorney
General Eric Holder
said the Justice Department would settle on a response to this
historic development ... MOREThomas Sowell - Prophets And Losses II
Federally-issued blue smoke and mirrors. People on both sides of tax issues often speak of such things as a "$300
billion tax increase" or a "$500 billion tax decrease." That is fine if
they are looking back at something that has already happened. But it
can be sheer nonsense if they are talking about a proposed increase or
decrease in the tax rate. ... MOREThomas Sowell: Prophets And Losses
Somebody could use a new crystal ball. Now that the federal government is playing an ever larger role in the economy, a look at Washington's track record seems to be long overdue. The recent release of the Federal Reserve Board's transcripts of its deliberations back in 2007 shows that their economic prophecies were way off. How much ... MOREWalter E Williams: Women In Combat
Inequality in the name of equality. A senior Defense Department official said the ban on women in combat should be lifted because the military's goal is "to provide a level, gender-neutral playing field." I'd like to think the goal of the military should be to have the toughest, meanest fighting force possible. But let's look at "gender-neutral playing ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Everything Fun Is Illegal In Virginia
Warning: no fornication allowed. Only one or two centuries late, Virginia lawmakers have decided it is none of their business if unmarried couples share a roof. So the legislators are now working diligently to repeal the state’s law against “lewd and lascivious cohabitation.” Huzzahs all ’round for that. But do not unclutch thy bodice yet. Virginia law ... MOREThe Relentless March Of The U.S. Police State
by Robert Higgs. Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University, wrote recently: An authoritarian nation is defined not just by the use of authoritarian powers, but by the ability to use them. If a president can take away your freedom or your life on his own authority, all rights become little more than a discretionary grant subject ... MOREVIDEO: Milwaukee Cop Bullies A Citizen For Sport

Katie Kieffer: How Gays And Women Get Their Own Way
Should strive toward equality, not social acceptance. Gays can be leaders. Women can be leaders. Without realizing it, I
think gays and women inadvertently work against their own objective of
equality when they force private organizations to support gay and female
leaders. As I wrote here,
gays and women are already equal ... MORECorey Rangel: Student Suspended Over Picture Of Gun
Political correctness run amok. A high school student in Florence said he has been suspended because of a picture of a gun. Daniel McClaine Jr., a freshman at Poston Butte High School, said he saved the picture as his desktop background on his school-issued computer. A teacher noticed it and turned him in. The picture shows an AK-47 ... MORE
