Judging by the comments from the posts last week, beer is six times more popular than civil liberties among ITA readers. Anything else you want us to expound upon? Leave some suggestions for future posts in the comments.
My drive from Chicago to my mother’s house includes passing through the two new wind power generation fields along US41. These fields are amazing in size. This weekend I was struck with the thought of how the futuristic-to-me windmills will be a normal part of my sons journey to grandma’s house.
I would like to know ITA’s thoughts on the future of Indiana. Is the state making the decisions it needs to in order to make sure businesses see Indiana as a place to invest? All things government being equal, why should businesses invest in Indiana, what is Indiana’s advantage over investing in other states?
I would like to move home because it is the right decision for my family and children’s families, but I don’t see that being the case soon.
63 years ago today John Scopes was found guilty. Was this a just outcome and how should public school systems structure their curriculum with respect to evolution.
“63 years ago today John Scopes was found guilty.” That was, I’m pretty sure, 1925. I don’t know about the evolution curriculum, but either the american history or the math curriculum looks in bad need of repair, somewhere….
Anyway, my request: what will — or should — the coalition look like on the American political right, to replace/displace the one that is in the process of completely melting down?

Ha! Good one. Maybe anon got that date from Wikipedia.
If anyone is still checking this, I have a request.
After a quick look over the key points of the new housing bill that is supposedly designed to help struggling homeowners, I had a question. Of all the non Freddie/Fannie bailout aspects, it seems like the people who will benefit most will be people taking out big housing loans (valued between $417,000 and $625,500). The interest these people will save by having gov-backed loans available will be far more valuable than all of the other provisions for the struggling foreclosure-threatened home owner combined? …Right?
Think of the savings on a $600,000 loan over 30 years.

That’s a great question Jacob. I trust one of our Hoosiers will answer it in detail.
