Free Speech
A judicial blow against it. Go support the Institute for Justice in their continuing battle against this outrageous ruling.
Free Speech And Nutrition
Here’s an intersection of two of my favorite topics — the heavy hand of the state in regulating speech, and paleolithic diets, from George Will. And good for the Institute for Justice.
