German Government: Schröder's Domestic Struggles
The resignation of the German finance minister and leader of the Social Democrat Party, Oskar Lafontaine, has liberated chancellor Schröder from his major rival and his government from the principal opponent of cuts in the welfare state and radical reforms in the labor market. Albeit the chancellor's success in foreign politics, his party's popularity among voters is in strong decline. A deregulation of the German labor market is overdue, but up to now Schröder's cabinet has done all the opposite. Many Social Democrats are still opposing the idea of a more flexible labor market and try to save the public social security system by forcing more people into it. Chancellor Schröder, who has also taken his party's presidency, has now elaborated some interesting plans, but first he has to convince his own party officials. Meanwhile the opposition stands ready to take advantage from the coalition's difficulties.

US Government Does Payola?
This article points out how the US government has been paying TV networks to change television episode scripts to reflect an anti-drug message, and then having the networks let the government review the scripts to make sure it's "up to govt. snuff". Now regardless of how much you oppse drugs, that is not the issue--what is the issue is that this kind of thing is precisely what is done in Communist countries! Government censorship must be opposed! And Jane Fonda accepts Christ!

Beyond the pickets . . .
Teachers strike: week one. After what seemed like an eternal stay in purgatory, Ontario has finally been lowered into the fiery inferno of an illegal walkout by public school teachers. In brief, I'm disgusted with both "sides" of this issue, and I'm offended that we as a society have allowed "sides" and "education of children" to be part of the same dialogue!
