Benson Goes to Supreme Court for all of Us
Over the years, I have written about many court battles. Bill Benson's has been going on for many years and now is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. For those not familiar with his case, it is about the First Amendment. It is about YOUR First Amendment rights. This is one of the most important First Amendment cases to go to the U.S. Supreme Court in the last 100 years. The government's arguments in this case have been so frivolous as to border on absurd. The lower courts have deliberately ignored the........

$20 Per Gallon: Incremental Adaptations to Basics
Chris Steiner’s book, $20 PER GALLON, methodically illustrates how American society, in fact, world societies will change as the price of gasoline inevitably rises to $20 a gallon. Many may scream, “What about the 100 years of reserves in the Bakken Fields, or the ocean floor off of Alaska and more fields in the Gulf of Mexico?” Again, emotions and sheer hearsay drive such hopeful myths.
