In Defense of Liberty

Just for the record, I am a Libertarian. It has come to my attention that many people don't know what "Libertarian" means. I am often treated to the joke (I think it's from a Dennis Miller routine) "I'd vote Libertarian but I like roads." (racous laughter on soundtrack)

Here's a nice essay on contractualization and tolerance which explains more than I can.

Our Friend, Junk Science

Well the DHMO debate rages on. I apologize, it was a joke! For more junk:

• Everything You Know Is Wrong (EYKIW)
  A cleansing mental enema.
• JunkScience.com
  All hail the all-seeing, all-knowing and all-debunking Eye.
• Junk Science in the Courtroom
  This one's scary.
• The Skeptic's Refuge
  Careful here, this site is designed to sell books, but there's a lot of good essays too.
