Is Spanking a Black and White Issue? - Room for Debate
Traditionally, corporal punishment has been more common among black parents. Is that changing?How in the world would I know?Feral children are definitely a bad idea."Spare the rod and spoil the child." was once a rule.Corporal punishment is cultural but I have no idea if it is a good thing.I didn't like it. I don't like it. -

Jobs That American Workers Don't Want - Room for Debate
The reality is that our food production system depends on the exploitation of its labor force.-
Jobs That Americans Don't Want
Lisa García Bedolla, Center for Latino Policy Research
Ms Bedolla has the back end of the problem.There is a large protected group who benefit from the present system.As a result of government policy the poor simply cannot afford fair trade food. Conservative politicians have decided that support for the poor will be as minimal as possible.If government were to simply require "Fair trade food", food produced without direct subsidy to the producers either by payment or coerced labour the game would change for the better.. -

Unpredictable Outcomes
Michael J. Roberts, economist, North Carolina State University
If we require that subsidised food be "Fair Trade" food a great many problems will disappear. Among them would be most of the advantages of employing new immigrants. -

A Chance to Reshape the Economy - Room for Debate
Is this dragged-out downturn an opportunity to make the U.S. economy stronger, or to rethink American work life?These proposed actions are either economic negatives or neutrals.There will be no action on this front while the Republicans can block it. -

A Culture of 'Perform Yourself' - Room for Debate
The ubiquity of digital spectacles and curiosities today is one reason performance art has had its thunder stolen.
I don't understand what James Westcott expects. Net space is where performance art happens. He is just going to have to think originally.
Admittedly hard but the thunder can't be stolen. -
