I think it fair to say I’ve hit one. Longtime readers may note that I have long desired to publish a piece with TCS. This is one of the truly outstanding magazines on the web today–and widely read. It is real, honest, straight, intelligent thought from a variety of Libertarians and Center-Right Conservatives on a [...]
