The Pursuit of Sunnyness

Tabin, I don't want you to get the impression -- or anyone else to get it, for that matter -- that I think political tyranny is really all relative, etc., etc., or that there's no pride in being an American, where at least I know I'm free. But your prompt attention to this super-important thread deserves some longer remarks, much further thought, and then more remarks. This is part of a fundamental conversation about the position, promise, and purpose of what I'm calling for now ethical conservatism. Here are some further thoughts, fun links, and gratuitous punctuations.
