Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
by Bob Wallace
When I first began to study economics about 15 years ago I wondered how many people were capable of understanding the concepts. Not that many, I decided rapidly. I don't think it's because of a lack of intelligence. Most people, I believe, are twice as smart as they think they are. Mostly it was because of a lack of interest; they weren't willing to put in the time and effort. You could call it Intellectual Sloth.

Abortion: A Mmoral Quagmire
by Wendy McElroy
Abortion. The word alone causes civil conversation to flee the room. This is largely because the pro-choice and pro-life positions are being defined by their extremes, by those who scream accusations in lieu of arguments.

Fear-mongering Bureau of Incompetence
by Carl Bussjaeger
I should stop picking on the FBI; they're just such easy targets, after all.
But on the other hand, the dipsticks deserve it. After demonstrating its true skills in a months-long blaze of mediocrity ranging to criminal incompetence, the Feebs have done it again. They've captured Public Enemy Number One: Jose Padilla, super-terrorist. Mastermind behind the forthcoming semi-nuclear "dirty bomb" attack on the United States.

'If You Don't Show Up, You Get A Letter, Believe Me'
by Vin Suprynowicz
It may not pay any better than schoolteaching, but there are a few advantages to having your picture in the paper every week, one of which is that the afternoon before I was supposed to report for jury duty I got a call from one of our local district court judges, telling me I probably wouldn't have to worry about it.
