Justice and Fairness – The Hugh Hewitt Show
Fairness: “fair or impartial treatment : lack of favoritism toward one side or another.” Justice: “conformity to truth, fact, or reason.” Do you see the difference? Fairness makes sure each child gets a sucker. Justice says the well-behaved…
The Worst Idea In The History Of Bad Ideas
I wish I knew how Christians could think this was a good idea (HT: Instapundit), “The Text With Jesus app allows users to “embark on a spiritual journey and engage in enlightening conversations with Jesus Christ,” according to the app’s…
Bureaucratic Logic and Normal Logic
So, this week, a couple more articles on microplastics. Now, here’s the thing – the articles talk about the harm that these materials might cause, but they also claim little is known about them. Yet, something must be done! Now, in the short…
Why Mamdani?
The recent election in NYC is both fully understandable and entirely baffling. Understandable because who doesn’t want free stuff? Baffling because there truly is no such thing as a free lunch – some one always pays. The host…
