Wouldn't our supply problems with commodities such as water and oil be much better solved by simply allowing supply and demand to work rather than relying on inept governments to regulate and enforce?

Yes, I'm a libertarian who is not a gun fanatic.  So sue me.  Since I am pro-choice in nearly everything, I'm pro choice for owning a gun.  Where is the line, though?  I am not pro-choice in owning nuclear weapons.

Have you heard about this church that is being investigated by the IRS for preaching an anit-war sermon two days before the 2004 presidential election?


They did not support or bash either candidate.  And since Kerry voted for the war as well, how could they have?  I suppose they could have supported Badnarik, but no, they only mentioned Bush and Kerry, and their message was to them both.... [click pod above to hear the rest of this episode]

Eliza's article is my inspiration for today: 

Rising petrol costs. No worries, mate!

Will rising fuel prices finally drive people to using renewable energy sources?  And has the oil industry's lock on energy been a vast right-left conspiracy?
