Against Intellectual Monopoly

Jeffrey Tucker of the Mises Institute has recently been blogging through the book Against Intellectual Monopoly by Michele Boldrin and David K. Levine.  The supposed goal of patents and copyrights is to increase innovation.  In the introduction the authors point the reader toward the conclusion that “intellectual property is an unnecessary evil.”  I plan to read through the book and also the articles that Jeffrey Tucker has written as mises.org.

Anti-gun Senate Vote

The Senate voted on Monday to confirm the President’s anti-gun choice for Attorney General, Eric Holder.  Gun Owners of America shows how the senate voted and makes it easy to tell your senator whether they did a good job.  Jim DeMint stood up for our constitutional rights while the increasingly liberal Lindsey Graham showed that he’s most concerned to get along with everyone (except conservatives).
