Your big books are amazing. The Myth of the Rational Voter, Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, and The Case Against Education are all very well done, and covered rarely trod ground. Looking forward to your next books

I never knew the Salem Center history, I always wondered why you made the jump here, just figured were bandwagoning with your peers.

That said "Bet On It will never ... guilts readers into contributing... But if you’re feeling grateful for my work and have yet to upgrade your subscription, now would be an excellent time to show your support."

Six of one, half dozen of the other there my passive aggressive friend.

Regardless, appreciate the blog as always.

One of my approaches for judging the quality of an argument is to Google refutations of the argument. If the best the critics can come up with is “how dare someone write that?” then I judge the argument to be pretty sound.

By that standard (as well as other standards) your arguments hold up very well. On education and childcare, to take two examples, you clearly annoy your critics. But they present no data to counter your key points.

Bryan, whether I disagree with you or agree with you on any given topic (usually it's 50/50!) your articles are consistently entertaining and thought-provoking.

Please keep it up, Bryan! You're always interesting, nearly always right, and you communicate it all with no unnecessary words. A 500-word blog from you has more insight than many two or three thousand word pieces by even great bloggers.
