Three For Good Friday

Mar 25, 2016 09:38

Three thoughts on this Good Friday-shortened work week:

1) Ryan Bundy, one of the dudes who took over the Federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, sends a letter. It's typical libertarian BS - no rules at all for me.

2) Part one of a two-fer from Gin and Tacos: Donald Trump and his supporters are absolutely right about one thing when it comes to immigration. Ed, the proprietor, points out that economically, America wants cheap immigrant labor while politically we want to keep immigrants out. Harsh laws poorly enforced accomplish both goals.

3) Part two of the two-fer: The story of Frank Woodall AKA Mary Johnson. In 1908, a woman living as a man got stopped for a health inspection at Ellis Island. When asked why, Frank said, "Women have a hard time in this world."

history lesson, politics, libertarians
