a good newspaper these days is hard to find...

Does anyone read the Wall Street Journal? I get emails from them occasionally with a selection of recent articles and op-ed pieces. They´re normally REALLY good.

For instance, here´s an article about native Americans that suggests ways in which to improve their economic situations. Seems very relevant for Australian aborigines as well, especially the stuff about law and order. You can´t develop economically if you´re not safe.

And here´s a really interesting article about ethanol. Best quote -

¨...So successful but politically unpopular businesses will be punished for not buying a product that does not exist...¨¨

Incidentally, apparently if you buy the petrol with ethanol in it available in Australia, your fuel consumption goes up because the ethanol has no real effect, so you´re burning more fuel in total. Don´t know how true that is.

Anyway, check out the Wall Street Journal, it´s a good read.

cheers
