HOT5 Daily 8/7/2010

1. "The Herding, Part Two" The left & the issue of race. Has a link to part I.

Representative Sample:If the Left has been successful at keeping racial grievance in the forefront of black American agenda—in indoctrinating black Americans into believing that retaining racial anger at whites is inherent in being black and essential for black survival--it has also been successful in later years of producing a certain mindset in white Americans. Actually this seems to be two mindsets, but it is really a singular one—a two-headed beast. The first is guilt-fear and the second is unproductive anger..

2. "India and Pakistan: Whose is Bigger? " Nuclear arms race.

Representative Sample: The two countries are now at a warhead level about equal to that of Israel. But whereas it took Israel 40 years to reach that level, India and Pakistan have done so in only 12 years. And they’re apparently not done.

3. "Scientific education leads to atheism" Not surprising.

Representative Sample:the teaching of science (for example in developed countries) actually teaches people to be able to handle abstract concepts and to accept the possibility that they may be wrong. After all, a basic fundamental scientific concept is to wonder whether an idea is right. They then become able to think more rationally and to reject absurd ideas like religion.

4. "The Atheist-Team" Pretty amusing.

Representative Sample: It's a graphic.

5. "According To Keynesian Economics, How Do You Create A Small Business?" Good one.

Representative Sample: It's a one liner, so you have to read it for yourself.
