...course, the idea that shoplifting is a victimless crime is easier to believe when the prey involved is a faceless business - or better yet, an international retail chain. In reality, however, shoplifting comes back to bite all consumers in the billfold in the same way that higher plane tickets do when airlines face increasing gas prices. Anytime businesses have to absorb a cost, they pass it along to their clients in some form or another. Retailers make up the money lost to shoplifting by marking up the prices of their goods. According to the Center for Retail Research, this ended...
...Britain, Poland and the Czech Republic "fall into line soon." That phrase should fill the people of Europe with dread. Democratic nations are a collection of people who are governed by those chosen to serve them. The majority of the people of Britain have no confidence in an expensive, faceless bureaucracy such as the E.U. I urge all Europeans to consider the potential consequences of union, since these consequences are likely to play out the current fears we all have over our economies - economies that have been wrecked largely by incompetent British and currently inconvenienced American power players.

Describing the people of his state, he said they were "out in the cold" and "helpless" against faceless insurance bureaucrats who treat them unfairly. A public health-insurance plan, he said, would create competition for private insurers and could put patients, not profits, first. "These are people," he said, banging the table more than once. "Eleven-year-old kids. These are families, and we have to respect them...
...reputation as a party house. With a huge window opening out into the lower level of the courtyard, it’s spacious enough to accommodate thirsty Matherites (as well as the smattering of freeloading outsiders), yet it’s also more intimate than the mindless, faceless d-hall rager. On top of it all, the House’s lax ID policy means universal access to the mixed drinks, Franzia, and, of course, the keg, which the HoCo is often thoughtful enough to fill with something a bit more flavorful than Keystone Light and its cousins. And even...
