STARK RAVING MAD

21st Century, Fall 1995, p 9, reports that a two-page article in the July 15 edition of The Financial Times of London by Lyall Watson describes cannibalism as a "radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation'' and states that "headhunting can be seen as good ecology, because it reduces competition on the hunting and fishing grounds.'' Watson says that headhunting "has nothing to do with war. It is the formal and ritual expression of a need to keep things in balance. It is [the headhunters'] admission of human responsibility for human destiny . . . . Whatever you may feel about it taking place, you have to admit that it works.''

"Why Welfare Pays'' by M. Tanner and S. Moore in The Wall Street Journal, September 28, 1995, p A18, reports the hourly wage equivalent of welfare for the 50 individual states and Washington, DC, as compiled by the Cato Institute. The highest is Hawaii at $17.50 per hour, and the lowest is Mississippi at $5.53 per hour. The median for all 51 jurisdictions is $9.18 per hour. Below these levels, welfare provides a higher income. Here in Oregon, welfare recipients also form the core of the pseudoenvironmentalist movement that is destroying local industry. Honest working people have more productive interests.
