“Inside the Meltdown”
I understand that PBS isn’t exactly known for being the most exciting or sexy TV channel out there. BUT it does have some really great TV shows at times. (btw – Antique Road Show is awesome) Frontline is one of those really great shows on PBS.
Tonight at 8:00 PBS is having a sweet special on WHY exactly we’re in such an economic mess. I’ll be watching, and you should too. Frontline usually does a pretty good job of being politically unbiased.
Watch the show tonight, and comment here on MrOsman.com!
Write a summary and analysis for extra credit. Some of you really need it!

Octuplets – plus six more???
Have you heard about the woman who recently had octuplets – 8 kids?
A California Woman recently bore eight chilren via invetro fertilization. The catch is, that she already has six other children – all born in the same manner!
Can she handle fourteen children?
Here’s the question: Can a single woman, who’s mother recentliy declared bankrupcy, take care of 14 children on her own? What role should the government play in this situation? Should she be allowed to have more children via invetro fertilization?
How would a classical republican government respond?
What about a government based on the natural rights philosophy?
