One way to settle the affairs of men.

I recently spent a delightful hour with my friend Steve Hayward, talking about Ireland, A Rage to Conquer, the Frankfurt School, why war is inevitable, politics, and just about anything that crosses our minds on his Ricochet podcast. Something, in short, to offend everybody. Enjoy!
