The 51st State
by William Stone, III
In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson entered into a treaty with France that included the Louisiana Purchase: the acquisition by the United States of over 800 million square acres of land. The cost to the US at the time was $15 million dollars; even adjusted for inflation at approximately $3.75 billion 2004 dollars, it was quite possibly the cheapest land deal in human history.

Hopes and Fears for the New Year
by Ron Beatty
I am sitting here on New Year's Day, with Georgia-Purdue on in the background, and wondering what the New Year, and all the following New Years will bring. Unfortunately, my crystal ball is cloudy and dark, with few flashes of light to lighten up the gloom.

I Have a Dream
by Lady Liberty
The final chapter of the Lord of the Rings trilogy of movies opened on December 17, and was expected from Day One to break box office records (and it did). I decided to see the movie at an 11:30 a.m. matine�, partly because I wanted to have as much of the day left as possible (the movie runs a very long three and a half hours), but also because Saturday morning isn't exactly prime time for movie goers and I'm not fond of crowded theatres. I congratulated myself for arriving at the theatre by 11:15 a.m., but I'm sorry to say that my self-satisfaction was dashed almost immediately. Imagine my surprise to discover that—in a small town, on a Saturday morning of the last shopping weekend before Christmas, and on a day when the mercury barely reached 20 degrees—there was a line for tickets. A long line.

by Joel Simon

Promises
by Dennis Kabaczy
Traditionally, the New Year is a time for resolutions, promises, and good intentions. People promise to quit smoking, loose weight, be kinder, and all the other meaningless, emotional trivia that tends to plague American society today.

Christmas in a war zone
by Wendy McElroy
What does Christmas look like in a war zone? Not in Iraq, but in North America—where a cultural war is being waged between the right and the left over issues ranging from grade-school curricula to the definition of marriage. I want to be a conscientious objector and allow people to make their own choices about their own lives, even if I disagree. But too often those choices get translated into laws or policies that govern my life and my family. This makes political pacifism impossible.
