[5]The End Of Empathy
    Links:
      5. http://b.rw/ItPNDH

Walter Kirn | GQ | 9 April 2012

Mitt Romney does not feel your pain. There again, neither does Barack
  Obama. But who says voters want familiarity and empathy anyway? It
  wasn't on offer from FDR or JFK. Truth is, Americans want to salute
  their leaders, not hug them [6]Comments

      7. http://b.rw/IoqJz4

Robert Zubrin | New Atlantis | 11 April 2012

Remarkable essay on disturbing history and politics of the "population
  control movement", from US to China. Pseudoscience of Malthus led to
  billions of ruined lives globally. The lesson? Side with human
  ingenuity, not antihumanism [8]Comments

George Soros | Project Syndicate | 11 April 2012

The euro crisis hasn't gone away. ECB's cheap loans did ward off
  immediate disaster, but market confidence is waning, along with German
  enthusiasm for indefinitely expanding the money supply. A change in
  approach is needed [10]Comments

      11. http://b.rw/ItOLHT

Dave Lee | BBC | 11 April 2012

What does the future hold for Mozilla, the company behind web browser
  Firefox? It's racked up half a billion users, but its only revenue
  comes from a sponsorship deal with a major competitor – Google. Can it
  adapt, and diversify? [12]Comments

Hussein Ibish | Now Lebanon | 11 April 2012

Islamists rising to the top in the Arab world speak of freedom,
  equality, democratic values. At the same time, they insist Islam is the
  basis for these freedoms. Does this allow for genuine religious
  freedom? Evidence suggests not [16]Comments
