Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The problems of campus culture

From a Scottish student in the US:  Presumption and self-censorship


It's like the Red Guard out there. George Orwell said "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

While the article is worth reading, Heterodox Academy's recent website update makes accessing the article much more difficult. Whoever redesigned Heteordox Academy should not have been paid. I couldn't access the article from the link- the linking went on and on and on. I accessed it from typing in "Heterodox Academy" into a search engine, and even then accessing the wesite took a lot longer than it used to.

If Heterodox Academy wished to reduce visitors to its website, it couldn't have done any better than its recent website redesign.
