Korean workers go on 'illegal' strike. Thousands of public sector employees ignore the law to protest against
privatisation plans, disrupting rail services across the country. [BBC News: world]
How can a strike be illegal? As far as I know slavery doesn't exist in South Korea--or does it? If the government objects to its employees going on strike, it can fire them, but it it forces them to work it sinks to the level of North Korea.

Sceptics denounce climate science 'lie'. US and UK scientists say climate studies do not prove human activities
are warming the world. [BBC News: sci/tech]
It's nice to see some mainstream media source admit that not everyone agrees on "global warming." Of course, the BBC is well known as one of the most unbiased sources of English-language news, so it's not as surprising to see as it would be if the same story was on an American TV network.

Collectivism Causes Terrorism
The following excerpt is from an article by M. Northrup Buechner in the October 1981 issue of The Objectivist Forum, entitled "The Root of Terrorism." In the article, Buechner explains how collectivist ideologies lead to terrorism. [Counterpoint]
This is just an excerpt, and I'd like to see the complete article. Given the age of the article, it's pretty safe to say it's not on the web.

Hillary and Hamas
The first lady has a long record of association with Islamic militants. [Counterpoint]
This is an article from 2000. Her association abruptly came to an end when she decided to run for Senate in New York--a city with a prominent Jewish population. Still, it's pretty weird for a socialist to be cozying up to religious fanatics. Maybe it's an example of the priniciple that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend?" After all, both Islamic fundamentalists and socialists hate America, maybe that makes them friends now?
