Free kibbles

EDUCATION:

Washington D.C. school system to fire 200 teachers, and the teachers' union is unhappy. Of course these evaluations are not perfect, and since they're done by government bureaucrats, they're probably terrible. But teachers who face a fear of being fired for poor performance will do a better job.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

BP had turned off the safety alarm on Deepwater Horizon so people could sleep. BP to drill in deep water off the coast of Libya. I bet they do a better job there. One of the great things about the private sector is businesses learn from their mistakes. Only government doesn't have to learn from its mistakes. It not only repeats them, it makes them worse and worse every time.

LOCAL:

Ohio state bureaucrats are investigating a local hospital for an outbreak of deadly bacteria, but because government hates the people, they won't release the name of the hospital. Maybe they get their kicks out of watching citizens play deadly bacteria roulette, or more likely, they're beholden to the medical industry, not the people. But you can bet if some local in their family gets sick, they'll know which hospital to avoid.

MISC:

Here's my model legislation backing up the constitutional power to make interstate commerce regular:

"Any product or service that meets the requirements for legal sale in one state is deemed to have met the requirements for sale in all states. Any federal law to the contrary is hereby repealed, and any state law to the contrary is hereby overruled."

That's the definition of making interstate commerce regular. That simple law would dramatically improve our economy virtually overnight. It would wipe out thousands of lines of federal code and probably hundreds of thousands of lines of state code that restrict trade and make us all poorer, yet every American can read it and understand it in seconds. In order to reestablish the rule of law and to regain our freedom, we must pass simple laws that protect freedom like this and wipe out all the complex, oppressive laws on the books today. But because this law would be of such great benefit to Americans, the chances that the Republican and Democrat aristocrats would pass it are zero.
