GARLINGTON: Liberal Democracy Is Lame (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our colleague at The Hayride hit on something in a recent essay that’s been on our mind ever since the SpaceX announcement for Vermillion Parish – that the vision of The Good that is being promoted by our political (and other) leaders doesn’t go much beyond acquiring material wealth. This was not a difficult conclusion to draw from Gov Jeff Landry’s own celebratory essay announcing the SpaceX project: ‘Louisiana has secured more than $250 billion in announced private investment.
