When compared to other countries, Dutch drug consumption falls in the European average at six per cent regular use (twenty-one per cent at some point in life) and considerably lower than the Anglo-Saxon countries headed by the United States with an eight per cent recurring use (thirty-four at some point in life). Experts have come to the conclusion that the policies applied do not play a striking role in these statistics, though there is debate over this issue (CEDRO, 2004).

In the U.S., the War on Drugs is causing a prison overcrowding problem. In 1996, 59.6% of prisoners were drug-related criminals. U.S. population grew by about +25% from 1980 to 2000. In that same 20 year time period, U.S. prison population tripled. To make room in prison for incoming drug users and dealers, all inmates, including violent criminals are having their sentences shortened or are being paroled early. This is why mandatory sentencing laws are being repealed.

Pizzetti ai giovani: "Attenti a cosa mettete in Rete"
Attenzione a cosa si mette in rete quando si è giovanissimi (scherzi a scuola oppure bravate più o meno innoque) perchè quelle stesse immagini, dieci o quindici anni più tardi, potrebbero influenzare negativamente un possibile datore di lavoro.

The Bush administration has long taken the view that tax cuts (especially permanent tax cuts for the rich) are the solution to every problem. This is wrong. Tax cuts in general perpetuate the excessive consumption that has marked the American economy. But middle- and lower-income Americans have been suffering for the last seven years -- median family income is lower today than it was in 2000. A tax rebate aimed at lower- and middle-income households makes sense, especially since it would be fast-acting.

Something should be done about foreclosures, and appropriately designed legislation allowing those who have been victims of predatory lending to stay in their homes would stimulate the economy. But we should not spend too much on this. If we do, we'll wind up bailing out investors, and they are not the ones who need help from taxpayers.

... too late for the tax cuts ...
... any percentage of nothing is nothing ...
... inflation and devaluation of the dollar are going to be the result ...

The word banker never used to be an insult. It once stood for a pillar of the community, a captain of capitalism. But bankers’ reputations have soured as their bonuses have bloated.

...

Roger Steare, Professor of Organisational Ethics at Cass Business School, has completed some intriguing research into the banking industry’s morals. He put more than 700 executives working in financial services firms through integrity tests. These financiers were as a group less honest, less loyal and had less self-discipline than the average British worker. Professor Steare believes that the lack of self-discipline in the profession indicates a culture of greed and short-termism.

Microsoft seeks patent for office 'spy' software

The Times has seen a patent application filed by the company for a computer system that links workers to their computers via wireless sensors that measure their metabolism. The system would allow managers to monitor employees’ performance by measuring their heart rate, body temperature, movement, facial expression and blood pressure. Unions said they fear that employees could be dismissed on the basis of a computer’s assessment of their physiological state.
