Ban Fur? Then Why Not Leather? - Room for Debate
Is there a meaningful distinction, or are these battles just-
Muddled, but Helpful
Mark Derr, author, "How the Dog Became the Dog"
I wonder what his positions are on war and on judicial killing?

No Moral Distinction
Gary L. Francione, professor of law
He is not as fond of food as I am.
I will cook as you wish.

Animals Do Not Have Rights
Tibor R. Machan, author, "Putting Humans First: Why We Are Nature's Favorite"
I disagree.
Humans have no special place in the universe.
We have the same basic rights as other animals. Like them, we object to being prey.

A Small Step Against Cruelty
Kate Carter, editor, The Guardian
She is welcome to style her life any way she wishes.
Her politics are also her own.
She is another politician with a victory.

He opposes all regulation on principle.

Should the School Day Be Longer? - Room for Debate
While more time in the classroom may benefit children from disadvantaged backgrounds, is it right for everyone?Home schooling is always available.School must be more than public daycare but it should be included. -
Focus on First Grade - Room for Debate
It's far more important to offer developmentally appropriate preschools, where the goal is to prepare all children for first grade.As the executioner said: "Different strokes for different folks."The teacher is responsible for keeping a diverse group learning at an optimal rate. Knowing what the task is and having the skills, time and attention to do it is a heavy demand on the teacher and the school board. A time motion study approach is not going to do it. In a community under financial strain there will be demands to run a warehouse and let the television bring up the children. -

- Every child should grow up physically and mentally.

Help for Parents and Society - Room for Debate
Longer school days can lead to fewer crimes committed by young people and a decline in teen pregnancy.This is a very mechanical view of the problem.If we keep the children in cells until they are twenty there will be no delinquency and no teen pregnancy. -
Should the U.S. Continue Selling Arms to Taiwan? - Room for Debate
The Obama administration approved a $5.8 billion arms sale package to Taiwan over China's strong objections. What are the consequences?It will be $5.8 billion returned to our economy. Taiwan will be encouraged. China will make more noise for a few years. -
Bring Naps, Recess and the Arts Back to School - Room for Debate
In the absence of time to engage in rest, in physical activity and in disciplined creativity, it’s doubtful that more hours of traditional study will do children much good.More drill will be of little benefit. Keep the children growing and learning. The rest of it must follow. They will encounter problems that require disciplined effort and will surmount them. -
Define 'Real Indians' - Room for Debate
The intersection of race and citizenship in Indian Country never fails to create a tragicomedy of tribal politics.Add race to any problem and the result will be very strange. This is an internal tribal power struggle. My opinion does not count. I do not see it as a good action. -

Meg Whitman Is Named Hewlett-Packard Chief
I am not assure I want to bail out as I was yesterday.
I will look for a peak here. -
To Prevent Theft of Content, Adapt - Room for Debate
The pricing model has to be reasonable, and most important it has to fit into a multitasking life that is driven by convenience.Our opportunities to acquire music without a charge are much more restricted than they were. -
Alcohol Isn’t Worth the Trouble for Some Chain Restaurants
That was the whole idea. There are lots of bars with kitchens.

India: Monsoon Causes Deaths and Destruction
It is like this most years.
The East India company used elephants to do the rescue work.If it happens most years it is not an emergency.It is a regulatory failure. -
A Governing Coalition, Increasingly, of the Unwilling
The practice of raising taxes in a down turn is invariably contractionary.
Anyone who has been thinking knows it.None of these three seem to.

Have Consumers Become More Willing to Pay for Content? - Room for Debate
Have consumers changed their expectations about what media will be free or cheap, as the Napster era has yielded to iTunes?Free content is becoming very rare. It is easy but costly to go to Itunes. -
Alabama Inmate Sues to Read Southern History Book
I can't guess how this will resolve. The inmate should probably go out on parole again and make the suit moot.

Opinion
Life can be depressing. Best to just deal with it.The economy is probably dropping into depression.There is no chemical relief.There is another year of disaster before work can begin here.
Preparation is almost impossible. There is always an immediate need for resources.What we can do is ease the cleanup. Flood insurance that would relocate rather than rebuild would be a good start. If that is too draconian there can be private insurance that rebuilds. Only the public insurance relocates. If we don't get them this time we will get them next time. There will be a next time. Private insurance will not bet twice.
