The danger is in repeating the tit-for-tat retribution cycle that toppled Rome's Republic.
The dilemma is how to punish constitutional transgressions without feeding into that cycle and making it ever more murderous and destructive.

I know it's not what you're waiting for. But here's an absolutely fascinating conversation with a nuclear history expert about Harry Truman and a completely new way to look at his role in the dropping of the atomic bombs.

Ok, new Common Sense just released. It's timely and pithy and hopefully you think it worth your time (and mine).
We called it: "Who's the Boss?"

We will release a new Common Sense show sometime in the next few hours about the illegal order question and the "treason" statements by the President currently in the headlines. It'll be a pithy one. After all, I've got Alexander the Great stuff to work on...

I think it's lovely that you believe that I even remember what I said😂
I would probably look at the list and go "I cited that?!"😂
I appreciate so much that you came out to the event. I hope you thought it was worth it. Thank you!

En Route to Austin for the show tomorrow night, then Houston on Saturday and (other than Portland in Sept,) I think that'll probably be it for the year. Hope to see you!

Robert, I'm gonna use your post as an opportunity to thank all the people who came out to the event. I can't always do the handshaking stuff...different venues,different rules...but I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate it.
It was a great night too.

Dan, I wanted to thank you for an excellent event, and for graciously sticking around to shake hands / briefly chat with us. Thank you for all the amazing podcasts over the years (going back to when I actually had them on a device with pod in the name).
Can't wait for Alexander part 3!

Just got the word that Ben Wright of "the 15 Minute History podcast" will moderate our Aug 16th Houston show in addition to the Aug 15th Austin event. So for both shows I'd wager that means "WW1 is back on the menu boys!"
