A Better Welfare System
I’m always slightly annoyed when I hear that some people can make ends meet on welfare without a job than they can by working. In these situations, it feels like the welfare system is failing the people it should be serving. They are left with no self-esteem, no motivation to contribute to society, and [...]

Fargo sting operation raises honesty questions
Well, it’s not so much about honesty as it is about strategy: should police officers be able to use deception to keep other people safe? Something like undercover cops or creative sting operations like the pre-Ozzie bash sting in Fargo the other day?
