• FFQF: Can Legislation and Reason Change America's Moral Climate?

• FFQF: Posterity! (That's us)

  Allow me to relieve my fellow bloggers and loyal readers: no, I have not yet been deported for sedition, thankfully. I am quite alive and well. A bit under the weather, and certainly very much preoccupied with an increased number of projects, but wel...

• FFQF: Does One Size Fit All?

  After an absence from this blog, and from my own meme "Founding Father's Quote Friday," I now resume my pen typewriter. I also apologize (do I do that more than I blog, I wonder?) to my readers and to FFQF participants. My absence was the result of n...

• FFQF: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Debt
