- I'm really growing to love the ease and speed with which I can add new materials to my web site. As people recommend new links, or as I stumble upon them in my blog browsing, I can add them in just a couple of minutes. The slowest thing is deciding which indexes they should be in, and whether and where to create new indexes.
- So here's another week's casual additions. I have a huge backlog of other pages to review and add.

- NEW 1/02/2012: Yet More Corruption At The University Of Chicago... [More...]

- Why Corporations Are Psychotic [More...]
- David Niose points out that libertarians ought to reject corporate personhood and concentration of power. They are not a product of minimal government. [more...]

- What Does Ron Paul Stand For? [More...]
- Bob Cesca lists "a wide variety of utterly horrific positions spanning nearly the entire spectrum of public policy -- positions that would cause significant harm, damage and destruction to the economy, to women, to minorities and to nearly everything progressives value." [more...]

If I may, here's something to balance out that link:
GLENN GREENWALD: Progressives and the Ron Paul fallacies
Rest of the stuff I'll taken an interest in, thanks! ;-)
I like Glen Greenwald, mostly. I generally can accept that the things he declares are wrong, are wrong.
But I think he badly underestimates how much damage Ron Paul would do, especially to people who are not privileged the way we white, male, healthy, non-retired earners are.
He suggests an "honest" position describing tradeoffs: but he does it in the worst possible light, without explanation of the relative magnitude of the problems.
And while Ron Paul may be against the war on some drugs (as I am too), that doesn't mean he can end it, not even as president.
My blog might be of interest!
Ron Paul? Relax, the American voter is in no mood to listen to his nonsense. Summarizing his main political points:
Lets mind our own business.
Lets live within our means.
Lets stop criminalizing harmless behavior.
Dangerously insane, shamefully un-American.
These ideas will never find purchase in the minds of Americans.
Go back to sleep.
