Re: Best 7 minutes on the present state of Liberalism...

Don't know squat about Sam Harris. Probably wouldn't agree with him on a lot of issues. But I think he has this one dead on right!

Family lore had my father's side of the family as full on Irish Catholic potato blighters immigrating in the 1840s. Father researched and...

Re: Charlottesville riots

First, I accept that you know a lot more about this than I do. So I ask for information and clarity. Second, I understand and agree that the south seceded due to fear of losing 60% of its wealth which was comprised of slaves. So without slavery, the south would not have seceded. The occupation of F...

It's like the EU's existential crisis...people can blame nativism by Eastern Europe or greed by Germany if they want ...

No argument there! and don't know enough about Missouri or Kansas to know if that was possible. But what I do know, even though I generally think supply side works, is nothing happens in a vacuum and supply side policies are just one of many things that might predict success or failure.
