Watcher’s Council winners for August 23, 2013
I’m taking a self-indulgent minute of time between my various paying jobs today, which explains the sudden flow of posts. Tomorrow is another Watcher’s Council vote, so I think it is incumbent upon me to tell you today about last week’s winners. (I assume you followed all that.) Also, check out the week’s forum, asking if America should legalize prostitution. I didn’t weigh in, because I cycle wildly between libertarian and moralist. I can say, though, that when we ended up in the Red Light district, my teenage son refused to look at anything. I think he’s a moralist too.
