A program that saves young people produces more welfare than one that saves old people.

The sky is always falling or the sky is always bright. In some ways, this is really morning in America and we don't see it. People are living longer, the economy is doing pretty well. On the other hand, there are some ways of thinking in the current situation that make it look not so good, including our Star Wars prequels - like legislature, meaning they're talking a lot, not doing a lot.

Faust seems to have exerted a big influence on Star Wars. You know, the "give up your soul for immortality" or something.

The 'cash for clunkers' program was a big success in part because it gave people the sense that the economy was moving.

So, I subscribe to the following reading: Star Wars is an essentially Christian tale.

I strongly believe that the Second Amendment creates an individual right to possess and use guns for purposes of both hunting and self-defense.

I'll tell you an explanation that I find commonly overrated and speculative in the extreme: the idea that things that succeed in popular culture do that because they hit the temper of the times.
