  • Insurance is Overrated
    No one should ever pay for insurance on a “device”. Why do people have a skewed relationship with risk? Are we ALWAYS “better safe than sorry”? Finally, who are “The Holdouts”, and why should we thank them?

  • Amazon Rainforest & Rugged Individualism
    With all the talk of fires in the Amazon, South Park's "Rainforest Schmainforest" must be consumed again. Who owns the rainforest, and what type of society would better manage "the environment"?
    Plus, Eric Cartman yelling at poor Costa Rican people to "get a job" is actually a fairly common sentiment; are "hard work" and "rugged individualism" the best way to sell liberty to the masses?

  • "Separation Of Powers" is Overrated
    The Framers and Founders of the United States were indeed brilliant in many ways, but like all people, they were imperfect and made mistakes. "Checks and balances" don't work nearly as well as they intended. Plus, let's break down the true insanity of "tacit agreement".

  • Do NOT Rush Into Home Ownership
    Depending on your situation, buying a home can be a fine idea. But what happens when “the American dream” becomes a nightmare? Before buying, consider the many expenses involved, including property taxes and insurance. What is the “$1 Per Square Foot Rule”? Ignore social pressures and make an independent, informed decision.

  • Rand Paul & The Fake 9/11 Fund Controversy
    Rand Paul was right, and the D.C. media and political establishment should be ashamed of itself. Ironically, a bunch of Twitter users approve of violence against Paul, the most prominent anti-war voice in the Senate.

  • Burden of Proof Should ALWAYS Be On The State
    Americans seem to largely agree that, in criminal trials, the burden of proof should be on the state. Why is that not so in other forms of state aggression? There are plenty of “reasonable doubts” when it comes to government action, and history teaches no clearer lesson.

  • Limiting Drink Specials Will Not Work
    Price controls do not work, and this proposal is simply another price control. Our City Council has apparently never heard of "pregaming" or the Nixon-fueled oil-price ceilings of the 1970s.

  • Sportsmanship is Old-Fashioned, Fake, and Completely Necessary
    After putting a bow on the previous "Millennials vs. Boomers" show, I explore the dichotomy of sportsmanship and how it prepares kids for "faking it" at important moments in life.

  • Millennials vs. Baby Boomers on SNL
    The SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE gameshow sketch "Millennial Millions" shows, once again, that the nature of government programs is conflict. Also, make no mistake, this episode is not me bashing millennials nor boomers. Instead, let's have a better understanding of what types of societies and laws create not only wealth but social cohesion and peace.
