Off to a Flying Start

Well, the new group blog at Positive Liberty has hit the ground running. I posted my essay about the 9th amendment and unenumerated rights over there as well, which drew the attention of Randy Barnett at the Volokh Conspiracy (to whom I once again owe thanks for his unexpected praise). That send hundreds of new people over to the site, helping to sustain the boost in readership that began with Jason's brilliant "How not to make me ex-gay" post. They've bombarded my post with a few dozen messages, some more serious and worthy of responding to than others. I suspect I may well spend today answering comments on that post over there. Come check it out, along with a whole bunch of great posts from Timothy, Jon and Jason.
