So you’re in college, huh? Why is that – to learn? To grow as an individual? To help make your world, and thus the world, better? Why stop once the spring semester ends? Invest in yourself – you’re worth it! Apply for and attend a free week-long summer seminar hosted through the Institute for Humane Studies.
The Shire Choir has been performing this song to the tune of Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World” at city councilors’ homes. Some like it, one threatened us with arrest. Courtesy ThanksbutnoTanks.com:
City council wants a BEARCAT.
Uncle gives ‘em out for free.
They’re telling us that it’s to catch the terrorists,
But they’ve set their sights on you and me.
They’ll be using it on you and me.
That’s why we’re singing:
CHORUS:
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thank you for nothing city bureaucrats.
Thanks… but no bearcat! (more…)

Have a few minutes? Pretty sure of your views? Challenge yourself!
Here’s a taste of what you’re in for, compliments of Justin Longo: “To evaluate policies, you must have a framework or lens you use to determine what is good and bad policy. This is entirely foreign to most people.”
I’m a big advocate of thinking critically, of striking-the-root, and of consistency in views. Justin does a superb job making his case while doing all three.
I want to give you the tools to build a foundation that will guide you to a consistent philosophy. I don’t necessarily want you to agree with everything I’m about to say, but rather, to use the guidelines of establishing first principles to form your ideals. I believe it is extremely important to constantly “check your premises.” First principles are those premises.
“First principle” defined: foundational principle. Cannot be deduced from any other proposition – in other words, an irreducible principle. Sometimes called “axioms.” First principles have no assumptions built into them.

From an fully mature adult who was trapped inside Keene High School during today’s insane police-state-on-display overreaction:
Oh no, no movement allowed at all. AND they make the teachers turn off the lights so the kids sat in the dark for three hours. AND in the entire time, there was no information AT ALL shared with the students over the PA until the very end, when they said, and I quote “The suspect has been apprehended”, thus reinforcing the idea that there was ever any danger to begin with.
Personally I’d like to know what he was suspected of, if he was a suspect.
And why he was arrested. And what he was charged with.
And how with a virtual manhunt going on, he was able to walk all the way to the police station without being noticed.
This guy must be a damn ninja.
