Dear MyPillow Guy This piece is a slight revision from a message I addressed to a Q and MyPillow believer. I'm exaggerating what they were promising, but not by much. .

Small Business, Big Capitalism, and Beer The big American breweries stifled beer choice, to the detriment of quality. When craft brewers and the remaining independents struck back with varied and flavorful beers, the big corporations moved to gain monopoly control of beer distribution. Now big beer corporations have gone global, and so has the battle for choice and against monopolies.

How Technologies Go Bad: Nukes and Genetically-Modified Crops Dangerous technologies in profit-driven hands and operated by fallible humans threaten health and the environment. In today's world of multinationals and revolving doors between industries and their regulators, the combination is all too common and abuses certain to occur.

Vigilantism Killed Trayvon Martin The saddest and scariest aspect of the Zimmerman verdict is that it greenlights the vigilantism than stand-your-ground laws are already encouraging. I've experienced neighborhood crime -- every night. There are better ways to address it than going out armed and taking unilateral action.

E.T. Versus Old-Time Religion: No Showdown Soon Astronomers Discover Extraterrestrial Life. That's a headline you could see in the next few years. Preachers Close Churches, Kentucky Schools Drop Creationism. That one you won't see. We are not about to make contact with intelligent E.T.'s. The evidence of life that scientists are likely to produce will not be enough to move people who believe in the Book of Genesis, word for word.

When American Business Fights a Higher Minimum Wage, It's a Tragedy of the Commons Raising the minimum wage stimulates the economy and helps business, yet business groups fight it. They see only a higher wage bill. It's a tragedy of the commons, where individual pursuit of immediate gain harms nearly everyone.

Energy: Romney's Deceptions, Misleading Claims and Outright Lies Whether Romney and Obama is president,look for increased oil and gas production, and yet oil imports will continue unless American reduces consumption. Romney's energy plan turns rejects energy conservation and renewable energy. It's drill baby drill in the Arctic, the Gulf of Mexico, everywhere.

Vote Absentee and Forget About ID Republican policies on absentee voters reveal their concern over voter fraud is a sham. Few absentee voters have to provide ID, even in states that require photo ID at the polls, and the GOP has a history of looking the other way at absentee voter fraud. The explanation is that absentees, unlike poor people who lack ID, either lean GOP or vote like the general voting population.
