Where is best to be a single woman?
http://www.edutarian.com/2013/04/where-is-best-to-be-single-woman.html
Where is best to be a single woman? I’m supposed to do some work, but my thoughts are jumping around the world. The weather outside is frightful. After an Easter week-end with temperatures of 10 C and over, today we’re close to 0, it’s snowing and the wind is pushing the window toward me. And I’m thinking of a woman. Maybe more. Before boring you with serious talk, let me start with the corrected Google translation of yet another song. She is now a single girl and does not know how to live like this:.

I'm not a libertarian and I'm not George Carlin. Writing a proper "About" page will certainly take some time; in the meantime, you may use our contact/survey form. And our advertising terms. However, though I sometimes define myself as libertarian (i.e., I believe in maximizing individual freedoms), I also believe that a society can function well under any system, provided that individuals' education / knowledge / "conscientiousness" are maximized.

The Point 1971: crime and punishment, law and ethics
http://www.edutarian.com/2012/10/the-point-1971-crime-and-punishment-law.html
The Point 1971: crime and punishment, law and ethics. Recently, I became reacquainted with Oblio as a friend on Facebook shared Liviu Mihaiu’s post that suggested a viewing of that famous little movie with Romanian subtitles. I remembered I had mentioned Oblio in an article about the Romanian Students Club and punctuality. Where I had even published a playlist containing the whole movie. But that was a tangential treatment and much remains to be said about it. Incidentally, the torrent. Naturally, baby&#...

Zamudio and CRT vs Harrison Bergeron. My main beef with other libertarians is that so many of us (them? Seem to place a disproportionate emphasis on individualism in the sense that they see their own success as being the result of either their unique skills and / or talents and the failure of others as being the result of their respective lack of effort and “natural-born” abilities. The story was republished in the author's Welcome to the Monkey House. As well as lively conversation. It’s no surpri...

One of the outcomes of the previously mentioned Space Jam. Is getting to know a number of poems I didn't know. I shall list and discuss them here. Poetry is something I enjoy, and you should too. First, the hostess read “East Coker,. From *The Four Quartets* by T. S. Eliot. It’s a “poem of late summer, earth and faith.”. In my beginning is my end. In succession.
