March 10, 2005 I have this theory. I have lots of theories, most of which don't make much sense even to me, but I have this one theory in particular that most of the trouble in the world is caused by people not minding their own business. When people stick their noses in other people's business, it's because they think they are right and the other people are wrong. Specifically, what they do is blame their problems on other people.

With all these difficulties, an average order takes fifteen minutes to complete and customer's complaints are endless. But even those toiling in the hot kitchen are thankful for their jobs, especially considering the unemployment rate has just climbed to over 25 percent. (Short story) (Read the rest here) 
Libertarian
Commentary on The News Today was NOT a day for good news, nothing really bad, but just dismal and depressing for the cause of liberty. But I found at least one item to start off with! Sadly, mostly we have bad news, today, at least in my opinion (not necessarily yours or anyone else's, including TPoL, FND, RRND, or the mainstream media). Arizona:
Gun enthusiasts push public school training Mama's Note: Better than nothing. The parents of these children should be doing that teaching, from the moment a child is old enough to pick up that much weight. It's almost impossible to start that teaching too early.
