Defend Extremism to Protect U.S. Free Speech From the EU?

Last update September 15, 2018Leave a Comment

We didn’t defend U.S. businesses subject to ruinous fines from the European Union’s GDPR. Now the EU is preparing to mount a new attack on U.S. web providers. EU officials worried about extremism have proposed that content providers like Google and Facebook should have no more than 60 minutes to take down offending extremist content. If they don’t, like the GDPR they risk getting whacked with huge fines levied from governments overseas.

Last update June 8, 2017Leave a Comment

World leaders did what they do best in the wake of the London attacks. They made trite assurances of unity, perseverance, and shared values.

Why Fly? Do You Like Being Humiliated and Profiled?

Last update April 23, 2016Leave a Comment

Every time I hear that a friend is going on a business trip I get confused and have to ask a very simple question: why fly?

Amazing, cheap technology puts people anywhere in the world on top of your desk. Is it really necessary to go through the out of town business ritual?

Majority of Muslims are Good People, Even Terrorists?

Last update March 26, 2016Leave a Comment

America has always been conflicted about what to do with a majority. Should we stand behind our democratic values, or ignore what a majority wants so we can benefit a minority?
