Carnival of Liberty 55
A little light this week. Possibly because I suck at publicizing, but anyway, here goes.
Matt Barr argues that the NC law against cohabitation shouldn’t have been struck down by judges but by the people. Judges are designed to protect minorities. Legislatures are supposed to respond to majorities. Interesting argument.
One Man Bandwidth talks about the impending Chinese ban on organ trafficking for anything other than medical research, and how it might actually backfire.
I hate Wal-Mart. I’m guessing many of you do too. But that’s the important part about principle. I’m still happy that a federal court overturned a Maryland law requiring them to spend more on healthcare or pay a stiff penalty. Pubcrawler did an excellent writeup. Be sure to read his other entries as well.
And you’ve got to love Shining City’s analysis of how to fight the ‘con-cons’. A ‘con-con’ is a strange bird that thinks the Republican Party still resembles the conservatism it claims to embody.
Whining about the lack of AC when you’re government is footing the bill for your evacuation? Really? How ungrateful and melodramatic can you be? London Fog has highlighted everything wrong with the Left.
As a guy in his early twenties, I’m pretty sure that the real reason record company revenues are down is because new music sucks. People are tired of girly men and cookie cutter divas, eye candy though they may be (the divas, not the girly men). But if you’re going to blame filesharing, Legal Redux makes the point that the only effective way is to go after the uploaders.
Ogre details the lunacy of multilevel politics (literally) in Building Height Freedom. No one wins when the local and state legislatures battle over just how little freedom you should have and who gets to decide.
Doug Mataconis of Below The Beltway brings us three submissions this week. Congress made a mockery of freedom again with a different flag protection law. And I die a little inside. As does Doug. He also highlights how restrictive zoning laws interfere with religious freedom. And the saga of Abraham Cherrix, the poor 16 year old who’s being forced to undergo a medical treatment he doesn’t want.
Stephen Littau at Fearless Philosophy For Free Minds reminds us that we’re picking up the tab for the lebanon evacuees’ risky behavior. They take the chance, we pay the cost. Hardly fair in my book.
Thinker of What Is George W. Bush Doing wonders if the recent problems in the middle east and impending gas crisis in Venezuela might be the beginning of World War III. I wonder too.
Last, and probably least, are my own submissions. My thoughts on the Free State Project. And in The Issues Don’t Matter I argue that the issue-based platform of the middle is precisely the reason whe find ourselves in such a statist mess. Far more important is ideology.
Next week we’ll be hosted by Homeland Stupidity (shameless plug: I blog there too, once or twice a week. Usually medical issues).

Carnival
Indian Cowboy hosts the Carnival of Liberty. Asian Indian heritage. Puts a whole new spin on the cowboy meme, as he reveres the cows.
