Why I Intend to Study Law

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1952, 25th January, 2012
Woe to you lawyers! You load men up with burdens grievous to bear, while you yourselves do not lift a finger to help carry these burdens. Woe to you! You build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. You yourselves are witnesses that you approve the deeds of your fathers: they killed [...]

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1707, 20th October, 2011

Why Libertarianism Needs the Religious Right

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1910, 7th September, 2011
This is an unusual debate for me. I’m used to debating pinkos and commies and right-wingers and suchlike — and I’m sure Gary [North] has had similar experience — where here, Gary and I agree on 99.8% of everything and I’m not sure what the other 0.2% is except this one issue. – Walter Block, [...]

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1308, 26th July, 2011

I am disappointed with Ohio Right to Life

By mitchell b powell | Published: 2338, 28th June, 2011
They opposed the Heartbeat Bill. And they were jerks about it. Yet another group proves it’s more interested in doing the politically correct thing than standing by its principles. Disgusting.

On ‘Lone Gunners for Jesus’

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1211, 31st May, 2011

Known as ‘Christian Reconstructionists,’ they hold that biblical law must be the basis for modern law, thus supporting the death penalty for all murderers, rapists, practicing homosexuals, and even abortion doctors.

orwell, abortion, and the catholic church

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1448, 7th January, 2011
Progressive euphemization seems to be at work.  The word abortion is already a euphemism, taking a common word for “to stop something” and using it for “to kill a human being in utero.”  But oddly enough, even the watered down abortion appears not to be doing a good enough job hiding the nature of the [...]
