Forests are breaking out all over america. new england has more forests since the civil war. in 1880, new york state was only 25 percent forested. today it is more than 66 percent. in 1850, vermont was only 35 percent forested. now it's 76 percent forested and rising. in the south, more land is covered by forest than at any time in the last century. in 1936 a study found that 80 percent of piedmont georgia was without trees. today nearly 70 percent of the state is forested. in the last decade alone, america has added more than 10 million acres of forestland.

If every u.s. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce, we would reduce our country’s oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week. that's not gallons, but barrels. small changes in buying habits can make big differences. becoming a less energy-dependent nation may just need to start with a good breakfast.

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

That's what i'm doing here, throw out new york and california, donald trump wins the popular vote by nearly three million votes. but you can't throw out new york and california. this is exactly why we have the electoral college. had there been no electoral college and had the election be defined by the popular vote, i guarantee you that the two states where the candidates would have been all the time are new york and california. there would have been some time in texas and they would have ignored the vast majority of people in the country.

Regarding the economy & taxation: america's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. the top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. history shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.

[t]he theory of output as a whole, which is what the following book purports to provide, is much more easily adapted to the conditions of a totalitarian state, than is the theory of production and distribution of a given output produced under the conditions of free competition and a large measure of laissez-faire.

Here's the point - and jonah goldberg reminds us of this. he wrote a blog post that was titled "the macguffinization of american politics." do you know what a macguffin is? "'in a movie or book, 'the macguffin' is the thing the hero wants,' ace writes." so in the maltese falcon, for example, the hero wants the maltese falcon, but there's always somebody trying to stop the hero from getting what he wants.

For there is another kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. this is the violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay. this is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. this is a slow destruction of a child by hunger, and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter.

I've been writing a book called the economics of innocent fraud. i published part of it already in the progressive ("free market fraud," january 1999). but i've been interrupted these last few months. it deals with all of the things we do, in an innocent way, to cover up the truth.
