Westerners who only rise to the legal minimums and only stop at the legal maximums are not worthy of freedom, the telos of which is moral excellence.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
