Most interesting excerpt from the article: “But the great advantage of limited-purpose institutions is that they let us achieve their limited purposes while still disagreeing on other things. Everyone gets this instinctively when it comes to "Sir, this is a Wendy's."

It's precisely when the issues are important—and divisive—that we need limited-purpose institutions most.”
