Exit / No Exit Chaser: The wind blew out from Bergen from the dawning to the day,There was a wreck of trees and fall of towers a score of miles away,And drifted like a livid leaf I go before its tide,Spewed out of house and stable, beggared of flag and bride.The heavens are bowed about my […]

Secession Lagniappe 7
The Hawaiian restoration movement tell the Obama administration to take its ethno-satrapy proposal and shove it has been one of the more inspiring things to watch in a while: If the Department of Justice was unclear as to which constitutional power Congress exercised in 1898 when it purported to have annexed Hawaiian territory by joint resolution, it should still be unclear […]
Turing Poe Test
THE TURING-POE TEST With the rise of the internet radicals and internet trolls, it would be an interesting exercise to apply the Turing test to Poe’s law. Is that person posting that stuff an idiot?

My colleague, Ezra Jones, responded, pointing out my failure to define terms as well as attempting to counter my arguments. It is always interesting to read critiques of your work as readers often have a different […]
Americas Forgotten Revolutions
Revolution seems dead in America. As Daniel Lansberg-Rodriguez’s Atlantic piece notes, thirty-seven of the world’s constitutions guarantee a right to revolution. France’s 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen recognizes “a right to resist oppression” that has reappeared in subsequent French constitutions.

Private Cities
HOW PRIVATE CITIES CAN HELP THE POOR A piece on private cities I wrote was published today in the Freeman.
