“Is it local?” This is off-kilter enough to be funny, but close enough to some people’s reality that it’s sad.

Capitalism doesn't exist. →
hilker: hipsterlibertarian: It’s not capitalism when the system is plagued with incomprehensible rules regarding mergers, acquisitions, and stock sales, along with wage controls, price controls, protectionism, corporate subsidies, international management of trade, complex and punishing corporate taxes, privileged government contracts to the military-industrial complex, and a foreign...

Zach Nielsen: This morning as we were sitting around the breakfast table it occurred to me that my kids know nothing about Martin Luther King Jr.  So my wife  and I talked about our country’s history of slavery and the fall out of segregation.  We discussed black people having to sit in the back of the bus, eating in a different part  of the restaurant, going to different schools, and...

jayparkinsonmd: Is it okay to sacrifice 31,224 people a year due to our “right” to carry guns? The fact that there are two Americas, the educated and the uneducated, has never been so obvious. Some people who care about 31,224 dead people want to do everything possible to stop the carnage. Others want to… Is it okay to sacrifice 42,031 people a year just so we can drive our vehicles?...

Is Marriage A Social Construct? →
Daniel Holter responded to my post about the way gay marriage advocates approach the debate with traditional marriage conservatives: Speaking as an amateur advocate for marriage equality (I’m not a fan of the term “gay marriage,” since I believe that’s where the marginalization begins with this issue, but I digress), I would like to state, unequivocally, that I am not in fact seeking to...

The New Scarlet Letter Is "H" →
Marginalize, privatize, anathematize: These are the successive goals of gay-marriage advocates when it comes to their opponents. First, ignore the arguments of traditional marriage’s defenders, that marriage has always existed in order to bring men and women together so that children will have mothers and fathers, and that same-sex marriage is not an expansion but a dismantling of the...
