At first glance, there would appear to be something wrong with the title of this essay. Surely, the Muslim fatwa against Salman Rushdie (death sentence in his case) for writing The Satanic Verses, a book widely deemed offensive in this community, can have little or...

How will human life on earth end, and what to do about this?
by Walter E. Block | May 19, 2022 | Featured Articles
How will human life on the third rock from the sun end? A comet, or a bug, or nuclear war, or alien creatures might come and kick us all in the posterior. Actually, probably, well, possibly, one of these millions of years, all life will cease on our planet, except for...
Nuclear War?
by Walter E. Block | Apr 27, 2022 | Featured Articles
The Russians are a weird people. For some reason, known only to their bizarre selves, they object to German invasions of their country. And not only that: they have the inexplicable habit of strenuously opposing another such eventuality. One might well have thought...
Russia and Ukraine
by Walter E. Block | Mar 5, 2022 | Featured Articles
Suppose that Brazil had invaded a relatively peaceful United States several times in the last century. The foreign policy of the latter country would surely be to arrange for a cordon sanitaire south of its border. That would pretty much be the be all and end all of...
Why Calling Your Intellectual Opponents 'Deniers' Is Bad for Scientific Progress
by Walter E. Block | Jan 17, 2022 | Featured Articles
For a time, astronomers debated whether Pluto should be considered a planet or not. I have no views on this matter. None whatsoever. My knowledge of astronomy is rather limited. I know that the moon is up there somewhere. I still think that the Earth is flat; except...
Police Should Sometimes Avert Their Eyes
by Walter E. Block | May 10, 2021 | Featured Articles
Many policemen have been kicked under the bus. It is now more difficult to attract people to this profession; numerous retirements have occurred, and the quit rate is high. But we need police officers to protect the most vulnerable in society. How can we solve the...
Bless you, Bernie Sanders!
by Walter E. Block | Apr 2, 2021 | Featured Articles
Extra! Extra! Bernie Sanders channels two toxic white males: François-Marie Arouet (better known as Voltaire) and John Stuart Mill. According to a magnificent statement widely attributed to the former: “I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death...
Whose Lives Matter?
by Walter E. Block | Sep 12, 2020 | Featured Articles
To say that “Black Lives Matter” has been in the news of late would be the understatement of the year, if not the decade. Maybe, even the century. This phrase is on everyone’s lips, on front yard signs, placards, billboards and even, in very large letters, on the...
Trump Is Right: The US Does Indeed Need a Space Force
by Walter E. Block | Feb 18, 2020 | Featured Articles
Right now, America has only a pathetic five divisions of the military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. We desperately need a sixth. And what could be more fitting for our President than fulfilling this need with a brand new spanking Space Force. Thank...
Donald Trump: Peace Candidate, Presidential Warmonger
by Walter E. Block | Dec 23, 2019 | Featured Articles
Mr. Trump ran in 2016 almost on a peace platform in terms of foreign policy. He said things such as this: I share the American people’s frustration… I also share their frustration over a foreign policy that has spent too much time, energy, money — and, most...
