U.S. ranks 108th on Happy Planet Index
No, this crazy and contentious election is not responsible for Americans’ angst, stress, discomfort, unpleasantness or sense of unease. But it’s a symptom. That’s the opinion of Jeff Misner, who teaches interpersonal communications and other related subjects at both North Idaho College and Gonzaga University.

Even Victorian England Knew the Minimum Wage Was a Bad Idea
The theory that minimum wages discharged the least productive workers had been a constant of Anglophone political economy, dating to John Stuart Mill. The fact that minimum wages cause the least "desirable" people to be priced out of jobs was, for “Progressives” of a century ago, a feature of minimum wages, and not a bug. Even the intellectual champions of the minimum wage conceded that it would not compel firms to hire.

Single Mom Facing Jail Time for Selling Homemade Ceviche
From the persecution of child-run lemonade stands to the crackdown on potlucks, everyday citizens are treated like criminals for behavior that has traditionally played a huge role in our American way of life. Now, a single mother in Stockton, California is facing a year behind bars for accepting compensation for a home-cooked meal. The unregulated competition hurts the restaurant industry and those who have obtained all the proper permits.

Indians Are Invisible: What I Learned Researching US Presidents
The grand narrative of the United States does not include the Indigenous story. For any serious student of history, this should come as no surprise. Forty-five weeks ago, I embarked on a series of historical news stories exploring the evolution of federal Indian policy, one presidential term at a time. Starting with George Washington and ending last week with Barack Obama, I probed each president’s personal history, his attitudes toward and relationships with Indians, and federal Indian policies enacted during his tenure in office.

Cocaine, guns and fury: 1 dead, 2 critically injured in Azusa shooting; gunman found dead
A cocaine-fueled “gun fanatic” armed himself with an assault rifle and launched a rampage Tuesday in his Azusa neighborhood, killing one man and critically wounding two women before he attempted to ambush responding police officers. During a furious gun battle in the quiet San Gabriel Valley neighborhood, police shot him dead, and his body was found in a home’s entryway. The gunfire forced authorities to secure the neighborhood and shut down nearby polling places — sending voters scrambling to find alternate locations as police confronted the assailant.

What Did Nietzsche Really Mean When He Wrote “God is Dead”?
The quote inspired an anxious 1966 Time magazine cover, and a preachy 2016 movie franchise that works hard to inoculate the faithful against atheism’s threatening seductions: “God is Dead,” wrote Friedrich Nietzsche in his 1882 book of incisive aphorisms, The Gay Science, and unwittingly coined a phrase now inseparable from 20th century culture wars. To clarify, Nietzsche never meant to say that there had been some sort of god but that he had died in recent history. “Rather,” writes Scotty Hendricks at Big Think, “that our idea of one had” been rendered a relic of a pre-scientific age.
