		<description><![CDATA[Steve Horwitz recently issued a challenge for libertarians regarding federal recognition of same-sex marriage. I&#8217;m not opposed to the recognition, but I would stress an important caveat to not conflate such recognition with justice. Horwitz&#8217;s point of emphasis on &#8220;equality before the law&#8221; is incomplete. There is an underlying problem regarding justice that we should [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rulingclass.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12551948&amp;post=1443&amp;subd=rulingclass&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post, I dicussed both the morality and rationality of voting, particuarly as it pertained to Ron Paul. The conclusion was that there was no moral obligation to vote nor one not to vote. The rationality of voting is an entirely different consideration. This calculation boils down to the following factors: (i) the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rulingclass.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12551948&amp;post=1434&amp;subd=rulingclass&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The tone was one of moral recommendation and not obligation, but the piece itself was logically incoherent. The structure of the argument was a non sequitor. How does showing voting for Ron Paul is rational demonstrate that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rulingclass.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12551948&amp;post=1427&amp;subd=rulingclass&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
