When the FBI asked Apple to assist in hacking an iPhone on national security grounds, Apple refused. When a federal magistrate ordered Apple to work with the FBI to hack an iPhone, Apple again refused (well, not yet officially). Apple should challenge the court order, because they are on the correct side of civil liberties and privacy.

A man jumped over the White House fence Friday night, ran across the north lawn and made it through the doors of the residence, before being arrested just inside the entrance. The initial reaction to this is expected. How could this happen? In 2014, how is it possible to scale the fence and make it inside the White House?

I wrote an article in February 2012 positing crime is not at an all-time high, and I backed it up with statistics.

Have you noticed that a national conversation about the National Security Agency (NSA) has commenced over the past two months? And even many who dismiss leaker Edward Snowden as a traitor, or a coward, agree we need to take a closer look at what the NSA does, and what it should be allowed to do.

I’ve contemplated writing an article which asks the question, do we need the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)? It rose to the forefront last week when Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano announced she was resigning. Then today I see Charles Kenny at Businessweek wrote (“The Case for Abolishing the DHS“), which as you might imagine grabbed my attention.

As we close out “scandal week,” let’s assess where we stand.

As a liberal I can agree with libertarians on some social issues. Libertarians, at least true libertarians, would not want government telling women what to do with their bodies. Libertarians also tend to see the nonsense that is the war on drugs, particularly when it comes to marijuana. And as a liberal I feel strongly about person freedom and civil liberties, but I also recognize the role that government can play as an extension of the community. If institutions like government aren’t working it’s our job to make them work, not rebel against them. I believe a fundamentalist libertarian worldview is untenable on a hot and crowded planet of 7 billion people.
