Of Aristocracy and Markets
My wife and I watched Emma together the other night. We have seen Pride and Prejudice several times already, but this was the first time she had seen this of Jane Austin’s classics. I then headed over to Librivox to download the audiobook (for free!).In one of the early chapters Emma and her […]
On divisiveness in politics
Duane Shank has a nice little piece over at God’s Politics blog, where I have re-entered the fray.
His comments are in italics, my responses follow.
