David Kopel celebrates Jewish resistance to tyranny through history.
Catallarchy quoting Steve Landsburg:
...I am frankly a lot more worried about my daughter’s becoming an environmentalist than about her becoming a Christian. Fourth, we face no current threat of having Christianity imposed on us by petty tyrants; the same can not be said of environmentalism. My county government never tried to send me a New Testament, but it did send me a recycling bin.
Jed on property rights vs the RKBA.

Yeah, it comes across as a big conflict, but really, if you choose to temporarily relinquish the exercise of a right, out of respect for another's right in property, that is (or should be) a small thing -- not much of a conflict at all. But of course, that's in my fantasy parallel universe, where everyone thinks clearly.
