What you think you know... is often wrong. Saturday I look at seven MYTHS... LIES... AND COMPLETE STUPIDITIES:

• FOOD... MYTH: Government should help people make healthy choices for themselves. TRUTH: The nanny state reduces your freedom while accomplishing little.

Kids who open lemonade stands are now shutdown by police. I tried to open a lemonade stand legally in NYC. That was quite an adventure. It takes 65 days to get permission from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

With government adding 80,000 pages of rules and regulations every year, it's no surprise that regular people break laws without even trying... continue reading »

In my syndicated column this week, I discuss celebrities' new campaign against fracking - the process of injecting chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas.

With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I'd think celebrities would love fracking... continue reading »

In my special tomorrow, titled "Myths, Lies and Complete Stupidity" I argue that it is myth to say that fracking, used to get natural gas out of the ground, is unacceptably dangerous.
