His main point &#8211; that new technologies tend to undermine the systems that preceded them and the nations that built upon them &#8211; is well taken, if a bit overdrawn. While [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The strange thing about so-called &#8220;green energy&#8221; proposals is that they&#8217;re seldom economically viable. Few &#8211; if any &#8211; such projects can survive without a government &#8211; read, taxpayer &#8211; subsidy. This is certainly the case with wind power. But for every government intervention, there&#8217;s an accompanying scam. It&#8217;s like a law of nature &#8211; [...]

But it appears that Google at least has had enough. Google has attracted criticism for censoring search queries related to minor things like political liberty and such. Apparently Google was [...]

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the title of a posting by Jeffrey Tucker at the Mises Economic Blog. Tucker eloquently discusses the government&#8217;s assault on civilization as symbolized by the 1.6 gallon toilet, foisted upon Americans by federal regulation in 1992. I&#8217;ve long maintained &#8211; and Tucker apparently concurs &#8211; that sewer workers are the true heroes of civilization. [...]

In recent years, we&#8217;ve seen the rise of &#8216;supernotes&#8217;, the quality of which are so damned good that even the Secret Service has trouble sorting them out.

It seems that one of the UK&#8217;s leading geneticists has concluded that a purely genetic explanation for human traits and disease is &#8216;plain wrong&#8217;.

The enviro-cultists have figured out that to get solar power (&#8216;solar&#8217; means &#8216;sun&#8217;, after all), it means putting solar arrays in places that have lots of sunshine. Like the desert. But we can&#8217;t have [...]
