Giving small farmers seeds, dams and ploughs allows them to improve their lot enough to raise more children, extending the poverty base for yet more generations. India and similar countries face more agricultural crises as family land divisions become ridiculously small. The solution is large-scale, privately owned farming corporations that are legally bound to provide housing, medical, pension and educational facilities for all employees and their families. This lifts the agricultural peasantry into the middle class where they produce fewer, better educated children; it allows larger profits which results in better R&D and farming methods, better forecasting...

Proposed by APEC's Business Advisory Council, this zone would include most of Asia (but not India) and a sliver of Central and South America, as well as big non-Asian economies like the U.S., Russia and Canada.

Although the fee will likely be "hidden" within airfares, Harteveldt is concerned that it could ultimately work against TPA initiatives and "come back to haunt us."

And with a mere 35 countries that would be required to pay the fee, fewer than 30% of foreign travelers will be affected...
Justice is likely to be speedy. The UCMJ has no provision for bail and the prosecution is required to bring its case to trial in 120 days. Hasan has probably already been notified of his rights under Article 12 of the UCMJ, which is similar to the Miranda warning given to civilians. Article 12, however, preceded Miranda by 11 years and is more restrictive. (See pictures of Hasan's life...
