• US senators drop end-of-life provision.
• Pentagon, governors clash over reservists.
• Why are we in Afghanistan?
• Death penalty sought for three tied to Know-Nothing terror group.
• How not to survive the system’s collapse.
• Obama, Bush and the limits of power.
• Everything government touches turns to crap. At least some of the Beatles were smarter than many of their fans. Ringo Starr gets it right whilst John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ was terribly wrong. (Howard Stern: imagine there’s no royalties; it’s easy if you try; no pad at the Dakota...)
• The libertarian position on gay marriage. If you go after our freedom not to do it, you’ve got a problem.
• Can the establishment right do better than Romney? Maybe they’re not very bright.
• Banning texting while driving. Some behaviour seems inherently to violate the no-harm principle but some libertarians argue you can’t arrest someone to prevent harm not done (as in drinking and driving).
• Is fear of our government irrational?
• Dress rehearsal for civil war?
• Test the waters of the real free market.
• When everybody wants freedom.
