It&#8217;s been said — correctly, IMHO — that while there are friendly foreign governments, there are no friendly foreign Intelligence Agencies. The computer systems that run the Grid [...]]]></description>

There were many other factions. One of the more [...]]]></description>

But that wasn&#8217;t simply a case of closing the barn door after the horse had bolted. They also found out the hard way that when commodities go up, commodity ETFs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Harsanyi&#8217;s latest piece, on education reform, is simply dripping with sarcasm: Though I&#8217;ve seen evidence to the contrary, experts assure me that children are the nation&#8217;s most precious natural resource. Logic, then, says that teaching is the most important profession in the country. And by extension, firing teachers who consistently fail to do their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Graham discusses the acceleration of addictiveness: What hard liquor, cigarettes, heroin, and crack have in common is that they&#8217;re all more concentrated forms of less addictive predecessors. Most if not all the things we describe as addictive are. And the scary thing is, the process that created them is accelerating. We wouldn&#8217;t want to stop [...]]]></description>
