by Darren Weeks. During the 1980s Iran Contra hearings, Lt. Col. Oliver North was questioned by Congressman Jack Brooks concerning North’s role in the development of a continuity-of-government plan called “Rex 84” (“Readiness Exercise 1984”), under which the U.S. Constitution would be suspended, and people moved into FEMA camps in the event ... MOREJacob Sullum: Legal Pot Could Be Contagious

Colorado voted to allow any ... MOREDr. Milton R. Wolf: ObamaCare Taxes Risk 800,000 Jobs
More government means more unemployment. America’s race toward the so-called “fiscal cliff” of automatic, massive tax increases is only part of the problem.

MOREWait A Minute! The Fiscal Cliff Is A Good Thing
by Howard, Raymond and Jesse Richman. The entire discussion of the "fiscal cliff" has things a bit backward.
