Privacy and security are not a zero sum game. It seems to me that the more privacy you have, the more security you have. Having government monitor people's every move is counterproductive to security. Government should focus its limited resources on monitoring terrorists, not citizens.

Fed cuts interest rates 3/4 of a point to 3.5%. It may be too late to prevent a recession. Investors expect a 500 point drop in the Dow. Another bad prediction. It only fell 128. Cato says the rate cut is not too late by historical standards. But that isn't how we judge if it's too late. We judge it based on whether or not it keeps out of a recession.

Who should black women vote for? Ron Paul, because he's the best candidate. But CNN never considers that black women should use their brains and vote for the best candidate like everybody. No, CNN thinks that black women have to either vote for Clinton or Obama because Obama is black, and Clinton is a woman. Leave it to the mainstream media to promote such a shallow and condescending idea.
