What's wrong with the world? Women trying to get to the World Series

Oh boy, I'm sure glad the cops are keeping us all safe from this predator. With the American economy crashing down around our knees, a collapse unwittingly engineered by the "genuises" on Wall St. (while the Marie Antoinettes in Washington extend the Bush spending frenzy into the Obama era like there's no tomorrow, crying "let them eat cake!"), with a prison population of 1% of the entire US population, with growing social ills and tensions, with cops that are deploying paramilitary weapons and tactics against civilian protesters (Pittsburgh G20)... Susan Finkelstein's desperation to get to the World Series and how she intended to go about getting there is what is wrong with the world.

Let's not lose sight of what's really important, what's really wrong with the world and that is Susan Finkelstein. May she rot in prison and never be let out!

For example, lenders must have confidence that they can repossess the collateral for a loan if the loan is defaulted on. Otherwise, they will not take the risk of giving the loan in the first place. When lenders are too scared to lend, everyone is worse off. In the case of Leona Hel...

What Law Is

Law What is law? Frederic Bastiat, in his treatise The Law, defines law as the collective use of force. As much as I love Bastiat’s treatise, I think his definition is not sufficiently analytical. It is certainly the case that the law plays a role in the collective use of force but the law is something more basic than this. We can begin by looking at law as it is today. The website for the Oregon courts has an excellent summary [1] of modern law and courts. I will quote it at length: Throughout history, people have had disputes and have needed some means to settle their disputes. As civil societies develop, they need an orderly system of conflict resolution. One system that developed in "western" cultures is the "law court" or court of law. In England, those early law courts developed a "body of law" called the common law, which defined both the rights of the people and the government and the duties people owe each other and their government.
