Whatever the verbal fencing over the meaning of the word “torture,” there is a fundamental difference between simply inflicting pain on innocent people for the sheer pleasure of it — which is what our terrorist enemies do — and getting life-saving information out of the terrorists by whatever means are necessary.
Here I share slightly random thoughts that cross my mind, as well as occasional links I like - feel free to add your thoughts too! Common themes - economics(my undergrad and possibly future graduate major), government(gets bad results from good people), and Pittsburgh or PA-related stuff. Also an occasional rant. Loosely speaking my politics are "conservative", "libertarian", or "classical liberal" (as in believing in freedom, not statism), but a few of my views may surprise.
