Is it Just?

Their conception of justice is based on the idea that certain goods like health (and education? and food? where do you stop?) should be made available to all through coercive redistribution by the state.

Providing voluntarily for your neighbor in need may be morally good. Forcing your neighbor to help you is morally wrong.

Bugs suddenly changes the sides everyone is on and I’m the only that noticed…

I’m not normally a fan of the governor, but I think is one area where he’s got it right.

I’m not sure what I think about PJTV either…time will tell I guess.

Suppressing reports that don’t agree with the approved narrative…
