7 Bad Laws Undone By Good Jurors

A proud tradition of doing right when the law is wrong.  What is Jury Nullification? You won’t find it defined in your dictionary or described in your encyclopedia.

Wendy McElroy: Why the Lights of America are Dimming

You cannot create passion and talent.  But you can destroy them. When people are punished for their virtues, such as the drive to excel and to work hard, then passion and talent become liabilities.

J.D. Tuccille: Does Police Work Involve Special 'Bravery'?

A job less risky than cab driver.       It's good to excel at your job—and if that excellence involves protecting the innocent and rescuing children, so much the better. Good stuff.

Camille Paglia: A Feminist Defense Of Masculine Virtues

by Bart Weiss.       'What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide," says Camille Paglia.

John W. Whitehead: Kennedy Was Right

We are the heirs of the First Revolution.     The year was 1961. I was fourteen years old, the only child of blue-collar workers living in Peoria, Illinois.
