  John Stossel
  Over the past few decades, America has locked up more and more people. Our prison population has tripled. Now we jail a higher percentage of people than even the most repressive countries: China locks up 121 out of every 100,000 people; Russia 511. In America? 730. ... more
• The Mythical Right to Decency Wed Jun 27
  Jacob Sullum
  Pity the poor speech regulators at the Federal Communications Commission, who are charged with sifting through complaints about TV and radio programs in a farcical attempt to determine which references to "sexual or excretory organs or activities" are "patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium." ... more

  Lurita Doan
  Acts of faith are performed each day in this country, and we are all the better for it.

• Driving Out the Waste Sun Jun 10
  Rich Tucker
  The Wall Street Journal reports: “Federal regulators are using powers they gained in the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law to ramp up an inquiry into the recent trading blunders at J.P.
