In mid- August, as parts of Travis County were labeled "exceptional drought," the U.S. Department of Agriculture's worst category, the Austin American-Statesman published the Austin Water Utility's top 10 users. While profiling households mat had used 136,900 to 316,100 gallons of water in single months - the average Austin household uses 8,500 gallons - the paper made clear that "[consuming so much water is not against the law" and that these heavy users had paid their bills. Not one of these conspicuous consumers of our most vital natural resource besides oxygen seemed embarrassed or overly concerned. One, University of Texas professor Bobby Ray Inman, former deputy director of the CIA, spoke of "me irony that I just passed the bills by and never complained about it." Who knows what k...

Quite some time ago, I saw a statistic showing that plumbers get more training than lawyers do. They purportedly must receive 40 hours per year in order to keep their licenses.
Training related to job skill is, in fact, considered essential throughout the "real world" economy. For example, the National Association of Manufacturers recommends to its members that they dedicate 3 percent of their annual revenue to educating their employees.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- A new Financial Times/Harris Poll finds that immigration is widely unpopular in the United States and in all of the five largest countries in Europe. The survey asked about immigration generally and not about illegal immigration. Majorities in four of the countries and pluralities in the other two believe that immigration makes it harder to find new jobs. Majorities in three countries and over 40% in the other three believe it has a bad effect on education. Majorities in four of the countries and 40% or more in the other two think it has a bad effect on health care services. Americans, even though they live in what has been described as a nation of immigrants are not, in general, any less hostile to immigration than Europeans.
