Add your own in the comments.
He is a brave man, and more than a little naive about a Yank's chances at a Cambridge debate about world affairs. But he got to the very core of the debate: the right to private property is a creator of wealth, not a robber of the commons. Cambridge would never do it, but if they would make Peruvian economist Hernando DeSoto's book, "The Mystery of Capitalism" required reading they would help dispel the victimhood view that keeps the developing world in penury. And deliver a kick in the pants to those like Maurice Strong who advocate for re-distribution rather than creation.
Say, where is ol' Maurice Whatsisname these days anyway?
"About 200 students stayed as well...They earnestly asked me, “you really don’t believe in redistribution of the wealth?” “No,” I said, “It’s theft.” As I explained how it takes ownership of property to create wealth, and that’s how we have done it in America to make us the richest nation or earth, several openly responded that my positions were “an interesting concept,” and they wanted to know where they could learn more."
Right on, John. Scary isn't it that these kids, the best and brightest of young minds, are so utterly indoctrinated in the prevailing campus Marxism that they must ask a passing visitor where to find sources for other points of view.
It's a disgrace that we permit this travesty on campus after campus.

Jimmy Carter: Israel Bad, Palestinians Good
He’s a gift of idiotarianism that keeps on giving, the man who invited Michael Moore into the presidential box seats at the Democrat Convention: Video: Carter blames Israel for failure of roadmap, denies he’s anti-Israel.
“I think if the United States won’t take that role on, then maybe the entire group of the so-called International Quartet, the United States, Russia, the United Nations, and the United — and the European Union — those four have written a road map which President Bush has endorsed enthusiastically. And if they can implement their terms — by the way, on which the Palestinians have accepted 100 percent and the Israelis have rejected almost entirely — if the road map terms are accepted, then we can have peace in the Middle East.” LGF

“Plan B: Move to Vancouver, Canada.”
A city made for the writers of Monty Python.
Vancouver is a city with an ongoing problem of vagrants and panhandlers.
Citizens are demanding that action be taken and civic government is listening.
City council has voted unanimously to fine the idle.
Drivers who leave a car running for more than three minutes face a $50 fine. The fine doubles to $100 for anyone caught leaving a car running while they pop into a store.
This $100 fine is an exceptionally good idea because winding your way past panhandlers and stepping over sleeping vagrants at shop entrances adds considerably to a vehicles’ idling time.

Mo Strong is rumoured to be residing in China. Whether girding for the next attempt to take over the world or just waiting for oil-for-food to blow over, no one knows.
Poor Canada! We get your doctors and you get our "information architects". What a deal.
Strong is in China licking his wounds because Canada will not honor kyoto, and all the dreams he had of being the broker to buy and sell credits are up in smoke. He has had to tell all those liberals that they will not get rich from kyoto. His last best hope is if Rae wins next week, and Power Corps calls in all its markers and loans. After all, Rae will not want his brother to be unemployed. Who will pay back the millions he borrowed for his campaign.

Archbishop: Thousands of Zimbabweans starve, die weekly from disease
Catholic News Service ^ | November 27, 2006 | Simon Caldwell
LONDON (CNS) -- More people are dying from
starvation and disease in Zimbabwe under President Robert Mugabe
than are killed in the war in Iraq
or the conflict in Darfur, said an African archbishop. Archbishop Pius Ncube of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, said about 3,500 people are dying each week in his country from a "unique convergence of malnutrition, poverty and AIDS." He said the world has forgotten about the plight of Zimbabweans although "hunger, illness and desperation stalk our land." "Cemeteries are filling up throughout the country, but no blood is being spilt," he told a private meeting of politicians and...-

The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Tuesday to extend
the mandate of the 160,000-member multinational force in Iraq.
The council acted quickly in response to a request from Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who said a top government priority is to assume full responsibility for security and stability in the country but it needs more time. The resolution, drafted by the United States, extends the mandate of the multinational force for one year starting on Dec. 31 and authorizes a review at the request of the Iraqi government or by June 15. The resolution contains the same provision as past...-

Kurdish fighters offer guerrilla feminism for the Mideast
AFP ^ | Tue Nov 28, 1:01 PM ET | Paul Schemm
MOUNT QANDIL, Iraq (AFP) - It took just a few minutes inside the offices of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the mountain village to figure out who was their leader. Ronahi Ahmed was in charge, and the men in the room immediately deferred to the stern-faced woman with long curly hair and an unexpectedly brilliant smile. Although ostensibly a member of the civilian political wing of the PKK, Ahmed still had a pistol at her belt, a reminder of her days as a guerrilla leader. In a part of the world known for the subordination of women, nowhere do females play a greater role than in the ranks of this Kurdish movement in the rugged mountains of northern Iraq. Once Marxist but now saying it is committed to peaceful and democratic change, the PKK retains a quasi-military structure that gives its own brand of feminism a distinctly martial cast.
"When a woman leaves her home and picks up a rifle it is no small thing -- it is a social revolution," said Arshem Kurman, a hardened guerrilla and lecturer at one of the movement's schools where women's rights are taught. "We are opening the eyes of Kurdish society," she added, explaining how female fighters in the PKK symbolize women's empowerment among her people. With their camps in the mountains and an emphasis on education and equality, the PKK aims to offer an alternative model for Kurdish and Middle Eastern women. Their struggle is constant, admit the women activists and guerrillas, not only in wider society but also among their fellow fighters who themselves do not always reflect the movement's progressive attitudes.
"That is the importance of martyrdom -- it gives our cause weight," said Kurman, adding that female losses in battle and suicide bombings by women have forced men in the movement to take them seriously. "Women are dying every day, so what better way to send a message?" she said ...-

Tories: Liberal 'legacy' behind auditor general's findings
CBC News
Federal Conservatives were quick to blame the auditor general's findings of government mismanagement on their Liberal predecessors, and used the report to pressure the Senate to pass a long-delayed accountability bill.
Treasury Board president John Baird said many of the government management problems outlined by the Auditor General Sheila Fraser could be fixed if the Liberal-dominated Senate would pass the bill, known as C-2, which was a key Conservative campaign promise in the last federal election.
The bulk of wrongdoings found in Fraser's report were "the legacy of slack oversight and mismanagement" of the Liberals during their 12 years in office, Baird charged.
"We won't let this get swept under the rug, as has happened all too often in the past," Baird told reporters on Tuesday following the release of Fraser's report, which exposed a wide range of mismanagement of government programs, practices and spending.
"Any dollar misappropriated, we will take any and all actions" to recoup those funds, he added.
The bill has undergone hundreds of changes in its back-and-forth path between the Senate and House of Commons since the Tories introduced it in April.
