http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2014/08/26/professor-bans-college-students-from-saying-bless-you-in-class/ Imagine hiring a private tutor, and then, after the fact, the tutor decides that in addition to the regular course work, you must watch a video of a propaganda speech by some politicians. This is of course no different, from higher education
They extend the WWII argument to all other wars. Did the Mexicna war make us free? How about the invasion of Grenada? They also reject Henry’s arguments about the preservation of liberty - And then there’s crovelli’s point about the right to bear arms and a large military. As well as 18th century arguments against standing
Marriage has long had a significant economic aspect to it, and states know this, which is why they have fought so long and hard to regulate and control it. Families, of course, are a basic part of any economy, and historically, they form one of the foundational building blocks of a society’s economy. Consequently, it’s not surprising at all that
Back in the 1990s is was assumed that any argument in favor of secession would produce “the balkans” So, will Scotland and the Rump UK begin shooting each other? That seems unlikely. The seceeding entity is too small to be “economically viable.” Well, we all know how Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg and Monaco are all dirt-poor economic
As long as it’s legal to use an alternative to public school, it’s a waste of time time to argue for “reforms” when one’s time is best spent arguing simply for massive defunding. “But the government uses your money” the reformers claim. Yes, that’s true. The government uses money for lots of things, such as public transportation and far more
From the 1870s onward, the American west has not deserved its reputation as an unusually free market region oriented region of the country. “Boosterism,” in which local officials hand over money and special favors to companies and corporate interests, has been common in the region (as in most of the country) since the late 19th century. The
One of the best things to come out of the Scotland vote is that it has sent the message that regional governments are entitled to vote on secession measures. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29163983 I look forward to the day that the same prerogative is afforded to American states, in the alleged “land of the free.” I’m certainly no
When I posted noting that students were entitled to resist the ridiculously bad choices being made by administrators for commencement speeches, the response, even from Mises Institute readers, was that students who don’t fall in line and obey school administrators are “brats” who don’t appreciate the wonderful gift they are being given by tenured

What is the Mises Institute?
The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.
Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
