The So-Called Right to Vote Is Not the “Most Fundamental Right in America”
The So-Called Right to Vote Is Not the “Most Fundamental Right in America” Biden’s SOTU address claim is false–there is no such right in the U.S. Constitution. Fundamentally, there can’t be a right to vote at all–impossible, ludicrous. The March 1st, 2022, State of the Union address (SOTU) read by President Joe…
Why I Don’t Celebrate “Presidents’ Day”
Why I Don’t Celebrate “Presidents’ Day” I celebrate “Washington’s Birthday,” not a day honoring all presidents–because most of them sucked. Horrible for liberty, individual rights, and principles of limited government. February 21st, 2022, is called “Presidents’ Day” on my computer’s calendar. No, thanks; not for me.I am old enough to…
Let’s Cancel Our Parents Along with Joe Rogan
Let’s Cancel Our Parents Along with Joe Rogan Retroactively punishing people for acts committed when those acts were accepted social norms is a recipe eternal persecution. Is it ok to punish people today for acts committed at a time when those acts were socially acceptable? My mother spanked me. Her…
Don’t Tell Me What I Should Like
Don’t Tell Me What I Should Like (or: How I Learned to Stop Listening to Philosophers) Recently, I found myself contemplating how philosophy relates to culture (I’m super fun at parties), and I came to the idea that I think there’s something seriously wrong with the current classification of the…

Keith discusses secession movements past and present outside the U.S. with guest J.G. Franklin, an actor, english conversation teacher, and Washingtonian living in Brazil. The trend of the last century is away from empires toward decentralization, with the number of countries tripling in the last century. We start with Brazil – J.G. gives a brief history of the formation of Brazil by mostly peaceful separation, and the possibility of three southern Brazil states going independent today. We briefly cover some of the numerous peaceful national divorces in the Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, and Africa, from Brexit to Namibia to Czech Republic to Crimea. To close we talk about the key to all of this – the principle of self-governance beautifully outlined in the US Declaration of Independence.
