Why I am not a Libertarian
June 20, 2008
About 4 years ago I was discussing local politics with some of my high school students when one of them asked me “why can’t we get a decent government here like in the United States so more people can be prosperous?” You see, Dominican politics is just plain dirty from top to bottom.

The War on Drugs. The Failure of Prohibition.
February 15, 2008
In yesterday’s post I talked about why I agree with much of the Libertarian Party’s drug policy.
