...must contest some of his findings. He states, "The median farmer's net worth is five times the median American's." Of course it is - farmers own tons of acres; but let's see you try to operate your business when all that net worth is tied up in land. In addition, he claims, "the biofuel boom is also jacking up the price of grain." Yet the price of corn has fallen at least 50% since its peak. Revising the bill is a good idea, but in doing so, we must realize that we will make food more expensive, since...

The pirates have thrived in a situation of negligible government authority on land, where the Somali state barely exists. And they are further emboldened by the jurisdictional difficulty of figuring out where to put arrested pirate suspects on trial. Strict rules of engagement also prevent foreign navies from attacking suspected pirate vessels unless they are caught carrying out a raid. That means that patrol...
