Reynolds’ Law
Reynolds’ Law « The View from Alexandria
"The government decides to try to increase the middle class by subsidizing things that middle class people have:
If middle-class people go to college and own homes, then surely if more people go to college and own homes, we’ll have more middle-class people.
But homeownership and college aren’t causes of middle-class status, they’re markers for possessing the kinds of traits — self-discipline, the ability to defer gratification, etc. — that let you enter, and stay, in the middle class.
Subsidizing the markers doesn’t produce the traits; if anything, it undermines them."

"The laptops arrived in two shipments, on Feb. 20 and Feb. 23.
The original shipping documents mistakenly listed the computers’ destination as Umm Qasr, not Babil, which caused confusion.
By April, though, the American military had tracked them down and repeatedly tried to clear them through customs and truck them to Babil.
Then, in August, Iraqis auctioned off 4,200 of the computers — for $45,700.
The whereabouts of the rest are unknown."

Can a bigger booze tax reduce disease, crime? - CNN.com
"Doubling the current state taxes on alcohol -- which would tack on as much as 50 cents to the price of the average six-pack or bottle of wine -- could be expected to reduce alcohol-related deaths by 35 percent, fatal car crashes by 11 percent, and the rates of sexually transmitted disease by 6 percent, according to the study."

These violations are just the tip of a very large and ugly iceberg.

"It's class warfare!
Fed-up parents and teachers who saw the explosive education documentary 'Waiting for 'Superman' ' yesterday were left either seething or in tears -- and calling for revolutionary change after the film's Big Apple debut.
'The passing along of children through the system is just disgusting,' said Barbara Levinson, 63, who was crying by the film's end. 'Every child should be treated as an individual.'
Viewers were also rocked by the work's portrayal of the teachers unions' protection of subpar educators.
'The laws as they stand can protect ineffective teachers who are bad -- I'm disappointed in what the union's become,' said Patricia Jordan, who won state teacher of the year in 1993.
'Effective and wonderful teachers are stifled by the ones who are problematic and hard to get rid of,' she fumed."
