From Eric Peters:

[Interventionism] is a one-way street.
Libertarians, anarchists, and others who hew to the philosophy of live – and let live – aren’t the least bit interested in controlling other people. It does not occur to them.
In fact, it goes against their nature. It’s an affront to their very core because, after all, if you wish to be left in [...]

President Obama’s Department of Justice recently released new regulations to prevent prison rape. “Sexual violence, against any victim, is an assault on human dignity and an affront to American values,” Obama said when announcing the new initiative. “The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) was enacted with bipartisan support and established a ‘zero-tolerance standard’ for rape in prisons in the United States.”
But the new regulations won’t be cheap; it’s expected to [...]
