I was catching up on some Porcfest suggested reading over the last few days and came across an interesting idea in Tannehill’s The Market for Liberty.  I’m only about a quarter way through (very good so far) but thought this quote was interesting: It doesn’t matter whether a man goes to church every day or advocates atheism,…

Combined day post today. Things are starting to get busy and the wifi is starting to suck. Two highlights from yesterday. First, I got the change to shake hands and talk with Stephan Kinsella.
