Welcome to Third World, U.S.A.
By Arthur Donner & Doug Peters
The United Nations publishes a Human Development Index
that ranks countries in terms of life expectancy, literacy,
education and standard of living. The latest published
data were based on 2005 statistics. The U.S., despite its
vast wealth and power, placed only in the 12th position
among industrial countries. The top four countries were
Iceland, Norway, Australia and Canada. Continue

Now We Are Human Commodities
By Chris Maser
We are today so ensnared in the process of selling and
buying things in the market place, that we cannot imagine
human life being otherwise. Even our notion of well-being
and of despair are wedded to the flow and ebb of the
markets. Why is this so much a part of our lives? Continue

the frontal attack on our Constitutional rights is met
with such “calm, superior indifference.” Continue

What Does Freedom Really Mean?
By Ron Paul
Few Americans understand that all government action
is inherently coercive. If nothing else, government action
requires taxes. If taxes were freely paid, they wouldn’t
be called taxes, they’d be called donations. If we intend
to use the word freedom in an honest way, we should have
the simple integrity to give it real meaning: Freedom is
living without government coercion. So when a politician
talks about freedom for this group or that, ask yourself
whether he is advocating more government action or
less. Continue

The US Dollar: The Long Farewell?
By Gwynne Dyer
As the U.S. dollar fell in value, the price of oil (which
is usually calculated in dollars) rose to compensate
for it, but there was no comparable adjustment for
foreign central banks that had huge amounts of
U.S. dollars in their reserves. China, which was
sitting on about a trillion U.S. dollars, simply lost
several hundred billion as the currency's value fell.
o various central banks started wondering if they
should diversify their reserves, and some acted
on it. Continue
