		<description><![CDATA[As reported in the NY Times, a key government panel has ruled that routine P.S.A. (prostate-specific antigen) screening tests for most men is unnecessary. Apparently, this finding is backed by some careful clinical trials but as Glenn Reynolds observes, in the age of ObamaCare, there&#8217;s always the suspicion that our health is a matter of [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Obviously, oil spills are messy and unpleasant &#8211; and to be avoided. But are they &#8220;catastrophes&#8221; in the perfervid language of contemporary environmentalism &#8211; events causing irreparable or even persistent damage? Clearly not. First, consider some facts. During World War II, thousands of ships were sunk and millions of gallons of oil spilled. In merchant [...]

Many others have done the same, including Michael Crichton in his now-famous Commonwealth Club speech in 2003. While Crichton analogized environmentalism to the Genesis creation story of perfection, fall and redemption, I think he was [...]
