Minimum Wage’s Discriminatory Effects by Walter E. Williams on Creators.com…
The best way to sabotage chances for upward mobility of a youngster from a single-parent household, who resides in a violent slum and has attended poor-quality schools is to make it unprofitable for any employer to hire him. The way to accomplish that is to mandate an employer to pay such a person a wage that exceeds his skill level.

Christopher Hitchens: Unspoken Truths - Culture - Vanity Fair
In the medical literature, the vocal “cord” is a mere “fold,” a piece of gristle that strives to reach out and touch its twin, thus producing the possibility of sound effects. But I feel that there must be a deep relationship with the word “chord”: the resonant vibration that can stir memory, produce music, evoke love, bring tears, move crowds to pity and mobs to passion. We may not be, as we used to boast, the only animals capable of speech. But we are the only ones who can deploy vocal communication for sheer pleasure and recreation, combining it with our two other boasts of reason and humor to produce higher syntheses. To lose this ability is to be deprived of an entire range of faculty: it is assuredly to die more than a little.

Reading Highlights: May 2, 2011 to May 8, 2011
A few months ago, I decided to buy a Kindle. Really, I combined a gift card and credit card points towards getting the toy. It’s been great. Since I got it in the mail, I’ve been using it for all of my reading. I don’t know if it’s made me read more, but it has a wonderful feature that lets me highlight and export text right from the device, letting me see what has struck me in what I’ve read.
Taking this a step further. I’m now going to share what I’ve been reading here. Ideally, I’ll keep this updated weekly, but you know how life is. I’ll do my best to include links to the articles from the web or to links to where you can find the source of the book I have excerpted. I have cut down significantly on the highlights represented. I do not feel compelled to share everything I’m reading, but want to leave behind a good collection of the more significant passages. Also, I’ve maintained the original order of the highlights, so there is going to be some jumping around from article to article.

Amazing force:
“Complete destruction of House No. 1, located 3,500 feet from ground zero, by an atomic blast on March 17, 1953, at Yucca Flat at the Nevada Proving Ground. The time from the first to last picture was 2.3 seconds. The camera was completely enclosed in a 2-inch lead sheath as a protection against radiation. The only source of light was that from the bomb. In frame 1, the house is lit by the blast, by frame 2 the radiating energy has set it on fire, and the remaining frames show the rapid disintegration of the house by the blast wave.” (U.S. Department of Defense) (via http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/05/when-we-tested-nuclear-bombs/100061/)
