Do High Carb Diets Work?

Some say they might. Personally, I tend to still be hungry if I don't get some carbs as well as meat.

Response to Lion of the Blogosphere on Abortion

Lion of Blogosphere shares this comment on abortion: in his latest post: No one that I personally know has ever gotten an abortion. My main objection to pro-lifers is that they create a burden on taxpayers. This is my main reason for supporting abortion. My family pays way too much in taxes as it is. It’s unfair to my mother, who has worked so hard to create wealth, and to support myself and my chronically ill father, to have to pay for the Section 8 and food stamps for low IQ people’s children. As for myself personally, I don’t have any reason to ever get an abortion. I’m getting married soon to the only partner I have ever had, whom I started dating in high school. I just want other women to get abortions, because i don’t want my future kids to have to share a classroom with low IQ violent bastard kids. LOTB seems to approve of this quote and agree with its underlying logic.... but is it accurate? Does abortion have a eugenic effect? Personally, I don't really ca...

Female Privilege and Suffrage

Here's  a politician named JB Sanford arguing against women's suffrage in 1911: "Suffrage is not a right. It is a privilege that may or may not be granted. Politics is no place for a women consequently the privilege should not be granted to her. ...The men are able to run the government and take care of the women.

To man, woman is the dearest creature on earth, and there is no extreme to which he would not go for his mother or sister.  By keeping woman in her exalted position man can be induced to do more for her than he could by having her mix up in affairs that will cause him to lose respect and regard for her. Woman does not have to vote to secure her rights. Man will go to any extreme to protect and elevate her now. As long as woman is woman and keeps her place she will get more protection and more consideration t...

Vox: Trump Administration Not Doing Enough to Help Giant, Global Tech Companies Underpay Workers

Vox has a new article  freaking out that the US government isn't doing enough to make sure tech companies get cheap labor from abroad to code. They might even have to (GULP) pay competitive wages in order to get techies to work. Or else they might move to Canada! Canada! I'm a former libertarian and someone who's area of study was economics. So I understand the logic of "if we aren't nice enough to big corporations they might move abroad" type argumentation. Indeed, you might find me on one of my old blogs making the same kind of argument when I was opposing minimum wage hikes or supporting corporate tax rates. It's one of those things that's tempting because there is a bit of truth to it. If a nation puts onerous enough regulations, taxes, etc on companies and there are much more convenient alternatives abroad that are easier to move to, it can have adverse impacts. One thing I also learned as I moved away from libertarianism/free markets (whateve...
