I was going to let this issue pass, as I let so many irritants go these days, but the dogged persistence of Indiana Governor Mike Pence’s opponents is such that they simply must be countered. And not countered just by me, but by every person in the free world with the brains and courage to…

Of Men and Prejudices
The idea that prejudices can and should be eliminated is a fallacy. So long as a man can observe and judge, he will use information to generalize about groups of people, some favorably and others not. Ultimately the question comes down to whether an individual should be allowed to form his own opinion, whether right…
Jeff Goldstein on the Paradox of Academia and Intellectual Freedom
On his Protein Wisdom blog, Jeff writes about an argument he’s had with a former instructor: I don’t pretend to champion creative expression and individuality of thought, then turn around and agitate for the silencing of speech I don’t like.

Franchise owner or not, a business person should be able to determine what merchandise is on the shelves of his/her store. Here’s hoping they have the…
Olympic Effort
I love the Olympics! I can’t wait for it to come again – summer or winter, I love em both. To me, the Olympic games epitomize what’s great about the American ideal: sacrifice, competition, commitment, reward. These athletes put more time in training that we do in our 9-5’s, living on a dream to become…
