“Yet when it comes to Zinn’s demand for history to be judged for its political...”

– A fascinating look at Howard Zinn and a new biography of said Zinn. I didn’t really know any of this (beyond the general idea that Zinn’s work was “very liberal”). Damn, I need to read more books. The problem described above seems to relate strongly to different ‘problems’ on the internet that...

That's Not How Freedom of Speech Works, Y'all

dangerguerrero: I feel like I go on this rant every six months or so, but until people start understanding the difference between protected speech under the First Amendment and getting to say whatever you want in any situation with no consequences whatsoever, I guess I’ll have to keep repeating it. We all have our crosses to bear. After noted legal scholar and historian Hank Williams, Jr. made...
