Why I voted for proportional representation
I spent 10 years in the legislative press gallery, a front-row seat for the spectacle of B.C. politics. It was mostly — not always — horrifying.

It was sad and infuriating, and demeaning for everyone involved. That’s first-past-the-post.

How the F-14 Tomcat Became the "Bombcat" (Or a Strike Aircraft)
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * The F-14 Tomcat was designed to defend the U.S. Navy’s fleets from practically every airborne threat. While it packed long range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles for defense against bombers carrying standoff missiles, it was no slouch in a dogfight either, although early versions were held back by its TF30 engines in that arena. But for a brief period in the 1990s, the F-14 was used as a strike aircraft. *The Bombcats proved to be rather potent in usage. While some advanced functionality of the pod (e.g., navigation) was not integrated into the F-14, the images... more »

The High Cost of Good Intentions by John Cogan
“Entitlements grow over time because of a force called “the equally worthy claim,” where eligibility for benefits continually expands until programs no longer resemble their initial, honorable intentions.” Entitlements don’t go just to the poor. The word doesn’t mean the same thing to all. Some think it’s a handout, unearned. Others see it as a benefit than can’t be taken away because it is their right. It is a benefit under the law to anyone who qualifies. https://www.policyed.org/perspectives-policy/high-cost-good-intentions/video I’m trying to get a copy of Cogan’s book fr... more »
