The few, the proud, the dismayed


She's making a little list. My own surfing has gone through the same whittling down. It is sad that that this is so. I never knew that the right to sell sex toys in Alabama was a bigger federal issue than court-ordered death by dehydration.

Another thing. Don't a bunch of libertarian warbloggers owe the Taliban an apology? It was such a big blogging deal that the Taliban stoned adulteresses to death and buried homosexuals under stone walls. But no one argued that those punished were innocent or that they had been deprived over their legal rights and due process under the prevailing laws of their state. If we are going to be so hands off in Florida, if we are going to hide behind legalisms, then should not the same be true in Afghanistan or Nigeria?
