		<description><![CDATA[One of the free market's chief criticisms is that there is inefficiency from buyers not knowing everything producers know. That situation can be remedied, without coercion, to the benefit of buyers and information brokers. Instead, the government just cost someone an opportunity to earn income.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can we stick one in the ear of theodicy, or the use of bad things as evidence that God doesn't exist? How can we find out what we're made of, and how can we help people, if people don't face adversity? There were a whole lot of worse things these boys could have done besides set up a triage unit before rescuers could arrive. How fortuitous was it that these boys had emergency management training the day before the storm hit? How is that not God serving man through vocation?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The tax floor would present a choice to oil companies: increase drilling and production at the level it could bring at $6/gal, or cede that money over to the federal government in tax dollars. Or even more perversely, the oil companies would just charge $6/gal for its gasoline and keep the supply activity at current levels or some government-demanded level.  This alone is reason enough not to pursue this policy.]]></description>
