Rowe and Sandefur on Blackstone and Common Law

By stcynic on January 19, 2006.

One of the great things about a group blog is that you get to hear different perspectives on the same topic. That's especially interesting when your co-bloggers are as engaging as mine are at Positive Liberty. In response to my essay on Blackstone and the common law, I've gotten replies from both Rowe and Sandefur. I'm happy to find out I didn't screw up anything too badly. It was a new subject for me and, though I did my research, I was still afraid I'd missed something crucial. Both of them agreed with my basic argument and each added some detail and nuance that helped me understand the issue a little better. If you aren't reading Positive Liberty regularly to see their work, as well as Jason Kuznicki's, you're really missing out on some great writing. What you see of mine there will be redundant; what you see of theirs you can't see anywhere else.

John Lofton Debates over Debating
I've been having an amusing exchange with John Lofton, the theocrat who owns The American View. You'll recall that he left a comment at Positive Liberty with his phone number and asked me to call him. I politely said no, but that he is welcome to leave a comment objecting to anything I've said that…
Explosives and Sandefur, Round 4
Sandefur writes: Yes, I know Brayton claims not to be a Kerry supporter, but so did Andrew Sullivan. There is a real difference between the two. Sullivan was a Bush supporter who slowly swung over to being a Kerry supporter (rather reluctantly), and for many of the same reasons I've criticized the…

Aren't some of Tim's posts cross-posted to Panda's Thumb as well? I think it was one of his posts on the Dover ruling that I followed to get to Positive Liberty (which I now read daily.) I haven't come across Jason or Jonathan anywhere else though.

The stuff that Tim posts to Panda's Thumb is generally not posted to Positive Liberty.
