Election Season in the Spiritually Vacant State
“When the value-bearing institutions of religion and culture are excluded, the value-laden concerns of human life flows back into the square under the politics of politics,” wrote Richard John Neuhaus, “It is much like trying to sweep a puddle of water on an even basement floor; the water immediately flows back into the space you had cleaned.”Although he made ment thirty-twoyears ago, the late Fr. Neuhaus could be describing the current election season. While there is much that could be...
5 facts about fathers and Father’s Day
This Sunday is the day Americans set aside to honor their fathers. Here are 5 facts you should know about dads and Father’s Day. 1. After listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909, Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash. wanted a special day to honer her father, a widowed Civil War veteran who was left to raise his six children on a farm. The first Father’s Day celebration, June 17, 1910, was proclaimed by Spokane’s mayor because it was the...
A Crash Course in Capitalism and Socialism
Unclear on how capitalism and/or socialism got started? John Green provides a 12-minute crash course that answers how we got from the British East India Company to iPhones and from Karl Marx to Swedish-style socialism. Warning: Green’s style and digressions can be a bit grating, but overall the material is worth watching. (I’d also mend increasing YouTube’s speed setting to 1.5 or 2 for faster viewing.) ...
A Gideon v. Wainwright Reminder
Over the past decade media coverage of the problems surrounding indigent defense has been increasing. For example, The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is currently suing the state of Utah for failing to uphold that 6th Amendment which now provides opportunities for government provided criminal defense. The ACLU is claiming that Utah fell short of its obligation to provide attorneys to criminal defendants who cannot afford to hire one. While the merits of the case have yet to be properly...
Millennials Lacking Hope for Entrepreneurship
Today at the FEE (Foundation for Economic Education), Zachary Slayback has an excellent overview of the decline in entrepreneurship among those under 30 since the late 1980s. He writes, Between local, state, and federal regulations placed on everything from who isallowedto braid hairtowho can tell you what color to paint a wall and where to place a doorand a schooling culture and system that encourages young people to waste away the first 22-30 years of their lives away from the...
Lessons on Work as Service from a Hotel Housekeeper
When es to basic definitions of work, I’ve found fort in Lester DeKoster’s prescient view of work as“service to others and thus to God” — otherwise construed as “creative service” in For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles. Our primary focus should be service to our fellow man in obedience to God, whether we’re doing manual labor in the field or factory, designing new technology in an office or laboratory, or delivering a range of “intangible” services...
Whose Status Do You Want to Raise?
In a ment about neo-reaction (forget about that for now, this isn’t about neo-reaction), economist Arnold Kling says “a major role of political ideology is to attempt to adjust the relative status of various groups.” One e of this is that, … every adherent to an ideology seeks to elevate the status of those who share that ideology and to downgrade the status of those with different ideologies. That is why it matters that journalists and academics are overwhelmingly on...

Philadelphia’s Socially Acceptable Way to Disdain the Poor
Philadelphia may like to think of itself as the “city of brotherly love,” but its latest tax increase is not so friendly to the poor. Last week the city council passed a regressive soda tax proposal that will levy 1.5 cents per liquid ounce on distributors. According to Quartz, the tax will apply to regular and diet sodas, as well as other drinks with added sugar, such as Gatorade, lemonades, and iced teas. This tax on sugary drinks is what...
Why Do You Need a License to Braid Hair?
There are numerous forms of crony capitalism, but one of the most subtle and damaging to the economically vulnerable are occupational licensing laws. For millions of Americans, occupational licensing continues to serve as a barrier to work and self-sufficiency. Take, for example,Melony Armstrong. When Armstrong began her hair braiding business, she was required tohave a cosmetology license, which required 1,500 hours of training and $10,000 in tuition. What makes this state occupational licensing requirement so unreasonable? None of the training...
