You Need To Go Read

Today's editorial at The Wall Street Journal. Heh-heh. Thank you, editors, for the reminder about the rake. His prose, whatever one may think of the shenanigans that brought it to light (the convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation, not develop a new constitution, but the proceedings were in many ways hijacked), I am indeed glad for his prose, his thought, and a bit more. History is fun, and it is good to be reminded that even in those days there were free-thinkers that did good while flouting the rules of polite society.

More on that later, as there will be a piece coming up soon about the need to defend unpopular things. Meantime, do go enjoy this delightful look at the past.

(drum roll)

Walmart.

(probably some time later in the week. Drop on by to see how its done.. hahaha). I dropped a little tease of it into my blog earlier today (the 5th, actually) and am gathering my munitions up and erecting my fortifications for the next couple of days.
