We should "Stop Worrying About the Legality of a Strike."  

From the article: "We should encourage our hard-working members of the TSA, the ATC, our flight attendants and pilots, and even the ground crews to go on strike if our incompetent government puts us through yet another pointless shutdown. "

What are your thoughts? Should government employees work without pay? How would you feel if they went on strike? 

"Staggering inequality and lack of social mobility have had a clear impact on how society views capitalism. In a recent poll, 36% of registered voters think the U.S. should move toward socialism and away from capitalism."

I can hardly believe someone as brilliant as Pinker could make such a statement. The observation that we live in a deeply racist, Sexist and homophobic society does not imply that we have made no progress. Nor could it be inferred from such a position that progressivism is a waste of time. Logical fallacies aside, It seems to me that racism, Sexism, And homophobia are still the norm. That is to say, Each occur frequently in our society; enough so that Pinker"s causal congratulating of societal equality strikes me as pre-mature.
