...Still, no such program exists on a wide-scale basis for undergraduates. Regardless of the ultimate details of such a program, the need for a public service specific loan-repayment program is clear. It would enable students to pursue their ideal career without worrying about the monetary implications of the decision. Perhaps more importantly, it may even encourage students to take two years off and do charitable work before entering the for-profit workforce. Ultimately, it would allow some of our most crucial social institutions to have intelligent, motivated and driven college-graduates in their ranks...
...That's why it's time to consider a more serious option: invading Burma. Some observers, including former USAID director Andrew Natsios, have called on the U.S. to unilaterally begin air drops to the Burmese people regardless of what the junta says. The Bush Administration has so far rejected the idea - "I can't imagine us going in without the permission of the Myanmar government," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday - but it's not without precedent: as Natsios pointed out to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. has facilitated the delivery of humanitarian aid without the host government...

And as recently as January 2008, Odyssey CEO Greg Stemm said that the company's own experts were still uncertain of the ship's identity...
...struggling non-profit organizations around the Commonwealth or other salutary areas. The fact that this revenue mechanism would have only been one of many recent ploys to help the government’s economic problems (like casinos are) then the justification loses all merit. Universities across the country, regardless of endowment size, should not be taxed. Universities already are boons to the economy: Harvard alone is the number one employer in Cambridge, and schools produce thousands of graduates who are educated and ready to make a difference...
