Good as Gold
The Fed and inflation insurance. An Indian for the UN. More Newtsayers. Still more responses from the field to Ben Stein. Plus much else.

On This Good
Friday
/p>
I welcome the dialog that Pete Chagnon offers; however, I am not aware of following any liturgy. Ben Stein is a good writer and entertainer — even a good person — but not really a good thinker in my book, and he seems to be having his way with readers of The American Spectator.
It was not my intent to offend anyone’s Catholic sensibilities, though I’m not a fan of Catholicism. I guess you might say that many Catholics aren’t great fans of Catholicism, since their actions belie their creed.
My position on patriotism is that it’s fine if no one gets hurt, or if less people are hurt than would be otherwise. Historically, lots of people have been hurt by patriotism, so I hope there are better ways to handle international conflicts.
p>I’m no expert Israel or the Middle East, but the militarization of the region obviously was not the intent of Israel’s founders. Frankly, if I were a Jew living today in Israel, there would be little to keep me from moving my kibbutz to somewhere more hospitable — on a different continent. br> — Paul Dorell br> Highland Park, Illinois /p>
