I saw this story in two places: Yahoo News and Mason Conservative. I admit I do not understand the facts behind this matter. And perhaps a medical ethicist could pound me silly over it. But I find it disturbing that parents have to go to a local congressman and a bureaucrat to get permission to [...]

I was inspired by the latest Watchers contest. What if we could have a new party in the US? What would that party look like? I am not yet ready to leave the GOP but this is a mental exercise. My inspiration was the short-lived but effective Free Soil Party of the last 1840s and [...]
