While I'm a libertarian, it doesn't require a big political discussion to debate whether the government generally has a monopoly on the legal use of violence. That also doesn't require that "legal" somehow implies &

Talking and listening to some journalists, I get the sense that they don't so much as "like" Twitter, as simply recognize that since it is part of the modern 24-hour news cycle, they have no choice but to be a part of it. If

True, I should've made that clear. But I wouldn't want to be the representative who voted against paying federal employees at the next election.

I think the type of people that want to do a startup would do it no matter what. It's the same reason that there are companies that sell urinal cakes. Wanting to build a successful company is not a bad reason to start a company. There

Welcome to modern literature. If you can understand what they are saying, then it isn't any good. It's like abstract art applied to words.

I don't want my employees to have to learn everything just-in-time. By that logic, the people you hire wouldn't need to know anything. In addition, they don't know what they don't know, so they may not even know that the
