Dreading Responsibility

|

It's not freedom unless you don't like it. Stated differently, it's not freedom if you do like it. Our nation was founded on the bedrock of liberty.

Looking For Trust

Yelling Fire! Five Months Later?

|

Nick Taranto's op-ed ("Defusing the Culture Bomb," Feb. 8) ends with an interesting comparison. He equates the publication of the 12 cartoons of Muhammad to "yelling 'Fire!'"

COPS: The Winter Carnival Edition

|

One of my favorite TV shows is "COPS." As the inspiration for a decade's worth of reality TV moronic garbage, I suppose that deep down I hate it with all of my heart and blame it for the undoing of America.

"If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons," admitted British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II, exemplifying the sometimes necessary triumph of realism over idealism in foreign policy.

It recently dawned on me that in terms of world affairs in the realm outside Dartmouth, I somehow end up getting my news a day or so after everyone else.
