i love Reason
Well I meant the magazine, but rationality in general can be better than all the happy pills we swallow to prevent our overwrought minds from contemplating the emotionally wrenching public issues of the day.
Did you know the GAO pegs the cumulative cost of our military's ban on gay servicemembers as at least $95 million over the past decade? while UC-Santa Barbara's Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities estimates it at $368.8 million and the article notes that this could have bought an all-gay airborne unit with F-16s.
There within the cyberpages of Reason, you can find other such non-obvious free-thinking so precious in today's media. Please excuse this belated Valentine, Reason magazine, but when you tell me that expanded eminent domain powers has been like giving city governments a gun to hold to the head of private property owners and quote O'Connor:"nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping center, or any farm with a factory.", well I just go wild.
Who else could make me eager to read an article on farm subsidies? I swoon at your sense of irony, like when you suggested facetiously that the State of Alaska could get federal money for its new P.R. campaign aimed at convincing the rest of America that the state is not greedy for federal money, and then noted a day later that this had already happened! So insightful what you said today, about how Turin will continue to be better known for a full-body wipe of Jesus then freestyle skiing and curling.
