The Working Pile
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
Good afternoon, Dr. C.
ReplyDeleteAre you done with Aquinas? I was looking forward to your liveblog. I have the book, but have not made much progress on it.
anti, I sure haven't. The problem is that the five books you see above are all work reading: I'm teaching from that macro textbook, reviewing Madison and Jefferson, using Pareto and Smith in my current research project, and I've just pledged myself to study Italian each day until I've mastered it.
ReplyDeleteSo I have had to put Aquinas down for the moment.
Slacker. :)
