You just have to wonder how much more we'd know and see in the universe if the government would get out of the biz and allow the private market to explode.

I guess I'll go buy one for myself -- it's research for work, all right?

EU retreats on deregulation
The deregulation they retreated on was, surprisingly, actually deregulatory (as opposed to say, the deregulation of the US telecom networks, which wasn't really deregulatory at all).
How disturbing is this quote, if truly from Chirac? "Ultraliberalism is the new Communism of our age," one source reported Chirac as saying. "Ultraliberalism" in this case, doesn't refer to cold-hearted socialism (er, what's the proper phrase -- oh yeah, bleeding heart liberal -- I always get those two terms mixed up....that whole desire to call it like it is thing, I guess). Anyway, ultraliberalism isn't referring to the US-meaning of liberalism. It's referring to letting free markets play a part in the economy. And a movement towards letting capitalism reign is certainly not "the new communism of our age".
