I guess my critics are right.  There are some things that I do not understand.  I mean, I just read that Australia has raised its birth rate to 1.77 by paying a $3,000 baby bonus to mothers upon the successful birth of their child.  While Australia’s birth rate is lower than the US, their population is probably increasing at a greater rate due to our higher rate of infant mortality.  If I had to guess, I wo ...

Almost two months after the spill President Obama addressed the nation (June 15). He said he would “fight this spill with everything we’ve got for as long as it takes.” Not in my lifetime, I thought. Maybe not even in his. “We will make BP pay for the damages their company has caused,” he swore. $20 billion? How much will BP pay for dead pelicans, turtles and sea otters? Compensate their relatives?  Can BP ...

Graduating ignorance: law school, grade inflation and the currency of ‘toxic derivative diplomas’ I remember my enthusiasm when I first hit law school in 1980.  I had been practicing without a license for years in Sonoma County, California.  Tenant organizing had led me and a friend to author the first Rent Control ordinance in 1975 that was constitutionally upheld in the state of California for tiny little ...

CENSORED IN 1993: “WE ARE WINNING THE WAR ON DRUGS” WAS A LIE When President George Bush went before the nation on September 6, 1989, to give a special address about the seriousness of the drug problem in the United States, the media and the public responded with alarm. By the end of that month, 64 percent of the public believed that drugs posed a greater threat than nuclear war, environmental degradation, ...

Teachers pensions next:  Sorry, we can’t pay you!  Deficits too high! A recent study by the conservative Manhattan Institute and the right wing Foundation for Educational Choice (the right wing Milton and Rose Friedman foundation), was released by the Manhattan Institute on April 30, 2010.  It has claims that teacher pension liabilities for all 50 states now total almost $1 trillion; almost triple the cost ...

Following the latest news in Australia about internet filters and spying on its citizens, Australia has now gone one step further in their attempts at restricting the internet to the general population. A new government plan would make the internet inaccessible to anyone that did not have anti-virus and firewall programs installed on their computers. Under the plan, if an individual's computer were not viru ...

When we dip our foot in the water, we take responsibility for how clean the water is.   This is an analogy for involving ourselves in the affairs of the Iraqis and Afghans.  We are now held responsible for their quality of life, as well we should, and it isn’t pretty. The military strategy we are pursuing at this time in Afghanistan is to take military control of an area, kick out the Taliban, and finally, ...
