Yes Virginia, many people do socially beneficial things without taxpayer support! Take homeschoolers. "Please" say those who think homeschools turn children into illiterate religious nuts. As opposed to illiterate godless nuts. No such thing as a godless nut? Think again.

Are you more afraid of airport security procedures than of terrorism? Do you think the Department of Homeland Security is out of their minds? If so, you aren't alone. Here are three reports from recent air travelers of the lunacy they encountered at the airport security checkpoint.
The U.S. Department of Justice is building a set of databases and database interconnections which will allow state and law enforcement agencies to search not only federal law enforcement agencies' case files, but also other state and local agencies' data.
