The Politics of Gun Control
Tis the season to be political. A fresh election is upon us, and there
are important issues at stake. I take a shot
(hah) at one of the more controversial ones.
The New Economy
This started out as a rant that ran rather long, and got rather
thoughtful and unrant like. Read my pontificating about the 'new economy'. This was written
in late June of 2000, so some of it may seem a bit dated now, but the
basic premises, I think, hold up.
Armed and Dangerous
This essay was originally
written as a bit for Newsweek,
but when I was done I realized that I was at about twice the word count
they like, and given Newsweek's politics the chance of them publishing
it were so slim as to make the effort of trimming not worth it. So I
have put it up here for the edification of the masses. For those of you
outside the US, okay, my gun doesn't protect you, but I hope this piece
has given you a bit of insight into the mind of the American gun owner
that you would not get through the news media. Thanks for taking the
time to read it.
Citizens of the Republic
Citizens is another one
that ran long. It's
a first draft and I'll be tinkering with it; I may, time permitting,
break it into two pieces and try to sell it as two essays. We'll see.
You can find additional essays on the War
Page.
Well, that was about enough of that, huh?
