Love and hope

New love songs are what keep me going, these days. That and kids.



Love, like hope, springs eternal.

Here's to love and hope.

Hope and humility

What should those who believe in economic freedom do about the stimulus?

Economic stimulus or opportunism?

Exactly what we do because we believe in economic freedom. Be humble. Let the marketplace of ideas sort this out (I can only hope).

More seriously than at any moment of my life I am considering that maybe I am wrong. About all of it.

Let's hope that's the case.

Who is to blame for freedom's retreat?

Freedom Beats a Global Retreat

This has actually been true for awhile, now. We just keep rationalizing an ugly direction. It's not a liberal thing. It's not a conservative thing. It is all of us.

And we are giving cover, and have been, for some time, to the repressive instincts of despotic regimes around the world.

Perhaps we are too foolish to ever face up.

If so, as my man from Nazareth said, we know where to go to pluck the beam.
