“The science and evidence in Roland Emmerich’s anticipated blockbuster Independence Day may be flawed and the posited scenario may be impossible as far as we know, but the movie has the potential to do a lot of good.

There is a slogan: “Everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it.” It is especially true because so much of our transportation infrastructure is publicly owned. Every winter of bad weather brings us the same scenes of bleak road and highway conditions. Spinning tires, “beached” cars the shoulder of the road, cars stuck in the

I have been distracted for the last few years by other matters and have just recently returned to my world of natural resource management to discover that the major happening in at least the last two decades has slipped by without notice.

Down under, in Australia, it is often thought that we are a dry country. What if I was to tell you that we have more rainfall than the United States!

This talk was delivered at the Mises Institute’s Supporters Summit on Radical Scholarship : the Guerrilla Movement for Liberty, on October 15, 2004, in San Mateo, California.

In the fall of 1990, I flew from Atlanta to San Diego, with our flight hugging the border of the United States and Mexico as we moved across the southwest deserts of New Mexico annd Arizona. The farther west we flew, the more I saw some strange sights, those being great, circular fields of green crops located next to desert sands. Then I saw the
