Why doctors shouldn’t ask their patients about them, let alone be required by the government to do so.
Obama’s Un-American Beliefs
The NRA has higher approval than him because his (and the “progressives”‘) views are out of the mainstream.
[Update a few minutes later]
The bigotry behind the push for gun control:
We notice two things these three men have in common. First, there is no indication any of them have ever misused a gun, either accidentally or deliberately–in contrast to Marshall’s correspondent, who nonetheless evinces a smug sense of his own superiority over them.
Second, they all have eccentric political views, which Marshall’s correspondent seems to think is an argument for taking away their guns. Never mind the Second Amendment, do these guys even respect the First?
Not really. They just pay lip service.
A Plague On The Earth
That’s what misanthrope extremist David Attenborough thinks of humanity.
I suspect he also wants to confine the infection to a single planet.
And as always, my advice to such people is to lead by example.
[Update a while later]
Here’s another person who should lead by example. Paul Ehrlich, who’s been wrong about pretty much all of his predictions for forty years, says that no one has a right to twelve, or even three children.
Obama’s Position On Gay Marriage
Not that that distinguishes it from any other topic on which he discourses.
Benghazi
Was it Fast and Furious on steroids?
It’s a theory that seems to fit the available evidence.
Obama’s “Progressive” Vision
A world without political opposition.
It’s always ultimately the way of “progressives.” After all, what sane person would oppose “progress”? They can’t be allowed to stand athwart history.
It’s Not Just The Law Schools
Too many students chasing too few jobs. Any other industry that was so deceptive and manupulative, and offered such a poor value for the money, would be excoriated by the media, if not subject to actual civil and criminal lawsuits.
Deep-Space Industries
I attended their press conference this morning in Santa Monica. Clark Lindsey has notes from the webcast. I was the person who asked the question about their role versus that of Planetary Resources, and whether they viewed them as complementary, or competition.
A Bill Of Federalism
An interesting idea from Randy Barnett. It’s a radical solution, at least in the context of today’s political environment, but it’s certainly constitutional, and we need to do something to at least slow down, if not pare back Leviathan.
The Human Spaceflight Cargo Cult
This is strongly related to my concept of the Apollo cargo cult. If we want to justify humans in space, we have to stop using the word “exploration,” because it simply raises the issue of letting robots do it. Talking instead about space development and particularly settlement implies humans, by definition. And if we can’t persuade the taxpayers that those are worthwhile goals, and instead try to sell them a bill of goods, then we don’t deserve taxpayer money for our hobbies. And cults.
