"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

The Mother of Invention

by Lee

Have I mentioned lately how much I love capitalism?

Adding bubbles to milk is tricky. Pump in too many, and it foams over. Add too few and why bother.

George and Mary Ann Clark, husband-and-wife entrepreneurs, have spent the past seven years trying to find the balance. Last week, they started production on a carbonated milk-based drink called Refreshing Power Milk—RPM—and they already have orders coming in from school districts.

Mary Ann Clark, a registered nurse, said she was pained to see children drinking cola and shunning milk when she worked in schools so she decided to do something about it.

“If you take water and add carbon dioxide to make soda, why can’t you do that with milk?” she asked.

Anything that can get kids to drink skim milk over sodas is a good deal in my book.  Good for them.  (And how much a shock it must be for our statist friends that this could bring about a change in children’s drinking habits without a new tax or government regulation!  “What?  Free markets solving problems?  Impossible!")
