Be Wary of Your Sources

I’ve been busy, so I haven’t written in a while.  I thought that I would switch things up a bit and write a few posts on economics.

What’s the Matter with Atheists?

The semester’s winding down, and Graduation is in 3 days.  Needless to say, I haven’t had much time for writing non-school-related things (like this blog).  I’ll be able to write more over the summer.  Since I don’t want to get out of the habit of writing here, and since I don’t really have the time [...]
