Gardner Goldsmith touches base with Sheldon on the recent ruling by the Supreme Court in the Comstock case. Then, Gard and Sheldon investigate the recent flap over KY Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul's comments about the bad aspects of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Gardner Goldsmith explores the often unspoken assumptions that support the unsupportable: government through means of the state. It's an analysis of contemporary assumptions, but also an historical look at how those assumptions have been carried along for centuries.
