Canada is a crazed police state, too: Bela Kosoian, a 38-year-old mother of two, says when she didn’t hold the handrail Wednesday she was cuffed, dragged into a small holding cell and fined. The police later justified their insanity.

Writes Christopher Gradner: Some of the bankers of old were referred to by their initials, to wit, John Pierpont Morgan. Such a reference gives the air of class and sophistication and confidence. Of course, JP Morgan (Jr. I think) is one of the founding fathers of the Fed. In that vein, it seems that Ben [...]

I have a new column posted at Euro Pacific Capital today as a guest columnist in “Other Voices.” I’ll have a slightly different version running on LewRockwell.com.
