Welcome to the April 20, 2008 edition of carnival of political solutions.
Apparently we are in a great need for some solution: the number of submissions to this carnival is truly astonishing.
Sagar presents a full-of-hope economic forecast for the presidency Barack Obama in 10 Surprising Economic Implications of a Barack Obama Presidency posted at Currency Trading.net.
Jeffrey Stingerstein presents his opinion on the issue of abortion in Abortion (a secular response to Richard Dawkins), Part Four posted at Disillusioned Words. It is not really on topic for this carnival (we are looking for solutions to the current political problems) but it is an interesting read, so I include it here.
Phil B. calls for simplification of tax returns in Tax Returns are Too Complicated <<> posted at Phil for Humanity.
Carole G. McKay extolls the virtues of honesty in Hilary, Bill and Noah Webster posted at McKay Today, and says, "Can we take a candid look at how we lie to ourselves and others and the price we pay when looking the other way?"
John Phillips considers whether a military experience should be prerequisite for the President's job in Best Qualified Candidate posted at The Word On Employment Law.
Lori Jewett calls for the election of Hillary Clinton in Coming Together for Change posted at Between Us Girls, saying, "Recognizing our interdependence and joining together to encourage change is the only way to solve the problems that face individuals, nations and the world. The days of individualism at all costs have come to an end."
David Gross presents Taxpaying as Complicity posted at The Picket Line, saying, "If the government is causing problems, and you're contributing to the government, are you contributing to the problems? Or is it that once you've "rendered unto Caesar" then Caesar takes the blame for what happens next? This has been debated for hundreds of years, in arguments that remain interesting and relevant today."
Gavin R. Putland calls for shifting our policies towards land-value taxation in Still on the mountaintop: Economically rational racism posted at /etc/cron.whenever/.
Mark Schauss republishes a Washington Post editorial in Ignoring the Supreme Court Ruling - Bush Administration Flaunts the Law On the Environment posted at Toxic World Blog - Detoxify and Heal Your Body.
Shan Siddiqi presents The Global Network of Scientists posted at Globally Rational, saying, "There is a major flaw in the way that scientists currently share information. This flaw is causing huge delays in medical/scientific research, leading to countless unnecessary deaths. What can we do to fix this problem?"
Huck Finn presents a unique brand of black humour in PutinToon 26 - How Our Money is Sucked Out of the U.S. posted at Putin For President.
Alexander argues against torture in As American as violence posted at Extremely Lame, saying, "I’m not even getting into the argument that torture doesn’t provide us with accurate actionable intelligence. Torture is just something a civilized country doesn’t do."
DWSUWF calls for an environmental action in Of salmon and trout and canaries in a coal mine posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall, saying, "The question goes begging. What happened to the salmon? There are many theories, and scientists are, as yet, unwilling to state that they know the reason. But we have an indisputable fact. The canary in the coal mine is dead."
There were some other great articles submitted to this carnival. However, as they simply presented a set of facts (such as features of presidential candidates' web sites), or simple opinion and speculations (such as involvement of major world powers in Iran's issue), I have decided against including them here.
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of
