US leads the developed world in reducing carbon emissions
“European leaders have spent years trying and pointedly failing to solve the climate crisis with regulation. Whether intentionally or not, U.S. policymakers have mostly avoided top-down solutions. And counterintuitively, or perhaps it should have been intuitive, the U.S. now leads … Continue reading →

The Self-Delusion Of The Individualists
Individualism can be used to defend the worst forms of collectivism. A self-proclaimed individualist can join any totalitarian movement or cult and claim that he is exercising his “rational” and “independent” judgement. Individualists becoming the followers of a collective in the name of individualism is the irony of all ironies. The individualistic philosophies have been developed by mediocre philosophers—there is no merit in them, but their followers accept their teachings as fundamental truths which have no need for re-examination. A typical movement of individualists exercises m... more »
Vote For A Republican-Lite Democratic Candidate And Don't Complain When You Get Republican-Lite Laws-- Conservative Democrats Defeat Assault Weapons Ban In Virginia
Last Thursday night-- in a post called Scrub From Your Mind: Any Blue Will Do"-- we looked at how the much ballyhooed new Democratic majority in the Virginia legislature failed to repeal the state's venal, anti-union right to work law. Yesterday the state Senate again sided with the GOP, failing to pass a ban on the sale of assault weapons. The House of Delegates had passed the bill 51-48 last week, even though 3 Democrats voted against it (Steve Heretick, Roslyn Tyler and Lee Carter) and one, Kelly Convirs-Fowler of Virginia Beach, abstained.

Meet the Sig Sauer Legion P226: The Best Sig Pistol On the Market?
*Richard Douglas* *Security, * One gun expert gives us his take. The Sig Sauer Legion P226 is one of the best pistols I’ve ever used. In fact, it’s now my go-to home defense firearm. And for a good reason: It’s comfortable, accurate, and reliable. But is it worth the hefty price tag? Here is what I would say: *Accuracy* The accuracy of the SIG Sauer P226 Legion is impressive. I can shoot 2” groupings at 25 yards. Not bad at all for a pistol! And as you will see, this level of accuracy is no accident. For starters, SIG uses an X-Ray Day/Night front sight.

You go on dates, take trips, spend time together and intentionally cultivate experiences that allow your relationship to grow. Then, somewhere along the way, life happens.

Going 'Green': Could For the Planet, Bad for the Economy?
*Ariel Edesess* *Politics, Europe* Here's what we know. You’d be forgiven for thinking that businesses are racing ahead in the green transition. After all, big corporations like Sainsbury’s and Microsoft have made public announcements about going carbon neutral, or even carbon negative in the near future. But these commitments are more difficult for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) to implement. Comprising fewer than 250 employees, they make up 99.9% of all businesses in the UK. Fully 96% have nine or fewer employees. They have fewer resources to carry out new policies and so... more »

A Scientist Explained To Us That Humans Are Hardwired To Love Each Other
*Nick Longrich* *History, World* DNA makes it so. Why do we love? At best, it’s a mixed blessing, at worst, a curse. Love makes otherwise intelligent people act like fools; it causes heartache and grief. Lovers break our hearts, family sometimes drive us mad, friends can let us down. But we’re hard-wired to bond with each other. That suggests the capacity for love evolved, that natural selection favoured caring for one another. Fossils tell us that love evolved hundreds of millions of years ago, helping our mammalian ancestors survive in the time of the dinosaurs. Humans have ... more »
