The US has an inconsistent approach to safety. On some issues, even the slightest identified danger must be corrected, even if that requires tremendous expense or imposes tremendous trouble.

Meanwhile, bigger dangers, such as lead in children's water supply, are completely ignored.

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh's relatives say that FBI informants manipulated him and then misrepresented what he said.

This would be another in the long string of entrapments of biddable people that (1) are unjust and (2) don't protect us from any real danger.

The French president's labor "reform" law, that has been opposed by nationwide protests and pushed through the assembly without debate, was specifically imposed by the EU.

The euro-zone's budget deficit limit, which has pushed Greece into a depression that will forever get worse, now threatens France too with depression. But the commission agreed not to enforce the rule against France in exchange for a temporary hold on enforcing that rule against France.

Trading a permanent change for a short respite is ruinous. If French officials had any conscience, they would rally the people for a counteroffensive against the European Commission instead of trying to surrender the country on their behalf. France could probably make the EC crack if it were willing to fight with no holds barred.

The European Union, and the euro, are instruments of subjection. If it can't be fixed soon, the people must abolish it.

However, taking a country out of the EU under a plutocratist government (such as the one in the UK) would only provide that government with a chance to make things worse.

Corbyn will be on the Labour Party's ballot, ex officio. The B'liarite MPs can't keep him off it.

Their arguments against Corbyn are fallacious and self-serving.

• His political position is "extreme" (i.e., seriously opposes plutocratic rule).
• He can't unite the party (i.e., they are stubbornly opposed to him).
• He can't effectively lead the party (i.e., they won't follow him).

The response to the first is to recognize that the Labour Party is pointless if it doesn't try to end plutocratic rule.

The solution to the second is to replace the Labour MPs who don't want to achieve that goal.
