Picking the brightest and legally most qualified nominee may not necessarily be the best Supreme Court Justice to select. Diversity in areas such as employment history, financial status, and cultural background might be very important to the team of decision makers known as the supreme court. In addition to that, it would be nice if they are agreeable and work well together as a team to make good decisions. The personnel selection profession could help with these things.

(of course it would be nice if the Supreme Court could stick with the constitution.)

It is easy to apply the nonaggression principle to individuals, but more difficult applied to countries. The principle states that initiating or threatening force against a person or their property is wrong, but it is OK to use force to defend yourself.


When applied to countries the definition of threat can be difficult. This is especially true when considering several countries at once and their ability to “take sides”.

Commentator Barri Weiss mentioned several topics which indicate our world has gone crazy. Is this because of poor problem-solving from our leader ship? Or have our tribal brains lead to this problem?

The current threats of war help to show the contrast between life in oppressive countries and life in mostly economically free countries like the United States. It sure would be nice if our president seemed to understand that better.

An excerpt from the Peter Schiff show does a good job of explaining this.
