Cops Strip-Searched a 4-Year-Old After Mom's Errand Took Too Long: https://reason.com/2019/05/28/strip-searched-cops-holly-curry/ It is clear that parents do not hold sovereignty over their non-adult children, the state does. We are only caretakers, glorified babysitters, for the state.

https://reason.com/2019/05/28/if-you-think-having-too-many-choices-is-tyranny-wait-until-you-have-too-few/ Which brings me to a larger problem embedded in anti-choice arguments of the sort made by Mull. It's easy to mock the idea of 200,000 types of hangers (or, close enough, 200,000 search results at Amazon). Who needs that many hangers, right, or 24 flavors of jam, or…anything else that I don't particularly care about? Why do we have so many types of music, or eggplants, or nail polish? I'd argue that the social-economic-political system that generates such a proliferation of choices in seemingly banal consumer goods also does the same when it comes to other choices in our lives that are arguably more central to our flourishing and self-expression—things such as sexual orientation, religion, personal dress, race, and ethnicity. You don't get 58 gender choices on Facebook without having to put up with a near-equal number of Pop-Tarts. A liberal order predicated upon individual rights, tolerance, and pluralism is going to generate a ton of SKUs in shit that you and I may not care about. That's not a problem to be solved, it's a dynamic to be defended and expanded to all aspects of human activity. "Choosing determines all human action," pronounced the great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises. Choosing among competing options isn't easy, but it beats the alternative, which is being denied alternatives not just when it comes to hangers but to all parts of life. Agreed. Choice is good. Always.

TRD in all it's glory, ladies and gentlemen.

Agreed. First World problems........................

Yes, and Los Amigos has good food as well (thank goodness they reopened after the fire). But it's shame La Casita on the south edge of town has closed, they had great nachos.

A little, yes. My response is based on a fairly long history of conversations with young Mr. Kendrick on previous iterations of the GID.

Harvard Caves to Student Mob: https://reason.com/video/stossel-harvard-caves-to-student-mob/ Agreed. This garbage about "safe spaces" on college campuses is just that; garbage.

Not surprised.

Former Red Sox First Baseman Bill Buckner Dies At 69: https://www.npr.org/2019/05/27/727355557/former-red-sox-first-baseman-bill-buckner-dies-at-69 I remember watching that game, felt really bad for Mr. Buckner. Now he can truly rest in peace.

End School Compulsory-Attendance Laws: https://mises.org/wire/end-school-compulsory-attendance-laws I agree.

Outrage after pro-Trump hats blurred in yearbook: https://www.cbs17.com/news/check-this-out/outrage-after-pro-trump-hats-blurred-in-yearbook/2023954606 I wonder if the individual(s) who actually performed the censoring have been reprimanded?

https://reason.com/2019/05/26/make-school-hard-again/ Fantastic commentary by Mr. Nye. The system needs to changes, starting with educating our young that a 4-year college degree is not the only post-primary school path they should seriously consider. And the amount of "free money" flowing from the federal government's student loan program only serves to exacerbate the problem.

Yes, I am watching this. Agree, very entertaining. The effects they used last episode for the individuals suffering from radiation poisoning/sickness was quite graphic.

It is akin to the Christian Hell on Earth, is it not?

The lump of cells in a woman's uterus also may or may not become a human being. My spouse and I know from experience.

No, you appear to be reading what you want. My question was, and I quote: I did not ask "So should human eggs and human sperm also be defined as "life" when they create a heartbeat? You added that Jimmie, not I. So I will restate the question: Should a standalone human egg or a standalone human sperm also be defined as "life"? Key word: "feel". But again, at 5-6 weeks it is not a true heartbeat. Did you read the article I previously posted?

So the answer to my question is really "no". Thank you.
