• Fiasco!: West Bets Climate Change Will Hurt Poor the Most – Le Quotidien d’Oran of Algeria

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 675
  It’s a lowdown dirty allegation, but is it true? Have the large multinationals concluded that a little global warming wouldn’t be bad for their bottom lines? Furthermore, are their actions based on the belief that people in the developing world would be hurt the most? That is precisely what K. Selim of ...

• A Constitutionality Argument With Teeth?

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 642
  Richard Epstein, a far greater legal mind than I, takes a dramatically different approach to the issue of whether the proposed Senate health care reform bill is constitutional.  Rather than focusing on the interstate commerce clause, Congress’ power to tax, and the individual mandate (which I think is a weak ...

• Dean in 2012?

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 642
  Take this for the completely unfounded speculation that it is, but listening to Howard Dean on the health care war path makes me wonder whether if he’s laying the foundation for a run at Obama from his left flank. I’ve no doubt that Howard Dean was speaking his mind on health care when he told liberals to kill ...

  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 642
  So says John Bolton over at Human Events , How is it, therefore, that someone who has no political ambitions can cause so much angst at the White House and in the mainstream news media? The irrefutable answer is that what Cheney is saying, primarily on foreign policy, defense and anti-terrorism, makes sense to more ...

• Blame the (Senatorial) System Man

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 642
  I don’t always (often?) agree with Paul Krugman, but his column today is hammer hitting nail on head .  Instead of progressives railing against Obama and his failure to get the public option in the Health Care Bill, the outrage should be focused on the institutional failure of the Senate.  As LOG often reminds ...

• Community as safety-net

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 642
  One of the most common arguments against my call for better, more effective state-provided safety nets is that these safety nets somehow replace those provided by families and close-knit communities.  Apparently if people are provided with health insurance by the state they will no longer have any need for ...

  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 675
  The narrative on the Copenhagen climate summit coming out of the developing world might be summarized this way: on the one hand you have the destiny of the planet as a whole, and on the other, the capitalist financial system. Which is more important to save? The vast majority of comment in the third world finds the ...

Private contractual agreements between individuals are ...
