Same Kind of Different As Me
Did you hear the one about the two-eyed man who was born and raised and lived in the land of the three-eyed people believing there was something wrong with him and was so conscious of it that he stuck a patch on his forehead that if you didn’t look
Up in Arms: Some Follow-up Thoughts on the Arms Trade Treaty
I spent a decent chunk of last week skirting around, hovering above and peering into the subject of calculated self-interest. While I was at it, and, perhaps because my antennae were up, I stumbled upon two articles that considered how that very idea may play out on the global
Who Needs an Arms Trade Treaty?
