Danger: Food Supply Vulnerable to Terrorism
Imported food makes up a substantial and growing portion of the U.S. food supply and, considering the health and safety concerns of keeping American’s safe, Washington insiders seem oblivious to that part of protecting American citizens. To ensure imported food safety, federal agencies must focus their resources on high risk foods and coordinate efforts, according... »

Humans and Their CO2 Save the Planet!
As the Senate considers the fate of the cap-and-trade bill, we should consider what it means for more carbon dioxide to be added to the atmosphere, something the bill intends to prevent. Carbon dioxide is first and foremost a plant food. In fact, plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use the energy from... »
What The Caine Mutiny Can Teach Us about Global Warming Scientists
Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is justified via argument from authority: a consensus of “experts” holds that humans are responsible for the increase in the Earth’s average temperature during the twentieth century. I was once a leader in forming a scientific consensus. In the late 1970s, most cosmologists believed the universe could not accelerate.... »
Climate Data: Top Secret!
The chief British Climate Research Unit (CRU) at Hadley has begun to eliminate the daily temperature records from its public websites. Yes — the daily high in London is now a state secret! Actually, this disappearance of temperature records has been going on for some time — not only in Britain, but also in the United... »
Case of Jailed Deadbeat non-dad Shows Need for Overhaul of Child Support Laws
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently ran articles on a case that should outrage any fair-minded person. Georgia man Frank Hatley was in a Cook County jail for over a year for failure to pay child support. However, DNA tests proved that the child in question was not biologically his. He had never been married to or... »
Nuclear Energy: The Only Solution
Biofuels are all the rage these days, as illustrated by a particularly silly article that appeared in the New York Times recently. It claimed that homebrew biodiesel could significantly reduce the U.S. demand for imported oil. There is no way that ethanol from sugar, corn, or biomass is going to make a significant reduction in... »
Obama Continues Global Warming Hoax
The American people are more than just a little sick of being lied to and cheated by their politicians. Barack Obama remains defiant, trivializing historic protests taking place throughout the nation. In his most recent PR thrust, this past Friday, he brushed the national fury aside by characterizing it as typical right-left drivel, and likened... »

Risk Aversion Strongly Correlated to Testosterone Levels
The evidence for substantial innate sex differences is mounting. I've long been a strong advocate for acknowledging this research, instead of trying to ignore it for ideological reasons, such as the postmodern feminist stance that all gender differences are culturally constructed. On the other hand, I usually take a very conservative approach, and write... »

Monogamy is not natural — but is ideal
The following letter to the editor that I wrote was recently published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We may disapprove of politicians getting into sex scandals, but we should not be shocked, regardless of the person’s moral beliefs. The simple truth is that monogamy is not a natural state for humans of either gender. Millions of... »

Liberal-Progressive Scientism vs. Religious Faith
Believing themselves to be guided solely by science, liberal-progressives swallow whole banquets of contradictory and unprovable hypotheses. Liberal-progressivism’s mantra is that only logical positivism has a place in public discussion. Logical positivism is defined, in part, to exclude any proposition outside the realm of mathematics or outside of assertions that can be validated by... »
