I had a delightful lunch today with my blog-sparring-partner Mike Munger of Mungovitz End (see how my blog is labeled on his blogroll: "Coturnix's nonsense"). We had great time discussing politics, academia, Horowitz, blogging and the life in the Triangle. Oh, Mike is also running for North Carolina governor in 2008 as a Libertarian candidate. Check his positions - how liberal!!!

On the issues he's left-of-center on, he's excessively moderate. For example, charter schools don't perform better than regular public schools. The main problem facing American education is the method of funding, which ensures that high-income schools are better funded. The US doesn't have one of the lowest levels of income mobility in the first world for nothing.
Now, Alan: Civil unions? Moratorium on capital punishment? Spend ALL the lottery money as an INCREASE to public school spending? Treat drug possession as an addiction, rather than a crime?
No NC Democratic candidate for Gov is going to endorse civil unions.
Ditto on capital punishment. They will compete with each other pull the lever, push the plunger, pull the trigger, whatever.
