Round-Up

Some items of note from around the web:

 

Here’s a heart-warming article from today’s Philadelphia Inquirer (registration req’d) about a network of volunteers who rescue stray dogs from high-kill shelters in rural areas and find homes for them in the urban northeast. (Sadly, according to the article, there were still over 8,000 stray dogs put to death in Philly last year.)

 

Over at Tech Central Station, Arnold Kling criticizes both the Canadian and American approaches to health care and proposes what he calls “limited paternalism” as an alternative.

 

A great post at Disputations on God’s forgiveness and ours.
