We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Too precious. Still there will be plenty of room for Libertarians in the new independent Nations.
ReplyDeleteI'm always reminded by this of the story of young Charlie Black, born in 1915 in the then officially racist Austin Texas, where "we literally never saw a black then in any but a servant’s capacity." And then the 16-year-old Charlie went to see Louis Armstrong. “He was the first genius I had ever seen," wrote Black many years later. "It is impossible to overstate the significance of a sixteen-year-old southern boy’s seeing genius, for the first time, in a black."
ReplyDeleteYoung Charlie Black became Charles Black, who wrote the legal pleading before the US Supreme Court in the case of 'Brown v Board of Education,' which officially ended segregation in US government schools.
