There are shitholes everywhere. Some types of shitholes include anal, oral, territorial, conceptual, and so forth. If we banned everybody who came from a shithole, at some point we will have eliminated life on Earth.

Nope, I Am Not a Doctor… And That’s Kind of the Point.
There is nothing that brings me more fulfillment and joy than the idea of coming back to our truest, cellular, DNA-imprinted nature in a world where so many of the odds are stacked up against that very reality.
Unschooling Dads with Skyler Collins, an Interview
“Skyler is an unschooling dad of three children and is the editor of the book Unschooling Dads: Twenty-two Testimonials on Their Unconventional Approach to Education. It’s not often that we get to hear about unschooling from the dad’s perspective and I really love that you took the time and effort to pull this book together.

Two Modest Proposals for Choosing Better Presidents
America’s fifty governors and 535 members of Congress seem to constitute the worst possible pool from which to select a president.

Twit to Twat Tweet
It may seem strange to devote an entire article to one little “Tweet” from “God Emperor Trump” (a.k.a. the Orange Fuhrer), but one in particular is definitely worthy of a little psychoanalysis—a fitting term here, since we will be analyzing a psycho.
Moving Toward Liberty
People who are natural gradualists don’t appreciate that I won’t pretend a tiny improvement is enough. They’ll never stop complaining that “the perfect is the enemy of the good” and settling for any tiny crumb– or even moves in the wrong direction that feel right to them.

Revolutions do not typically happen overnight, especially one so bold as to question the necessity of a motor as powerful as centralized banking coupled with seemingly limitless government power.
