John T. Kennedy's Columns

The Fallacy of Control

"The fallacy of control is the notion that you can best control your life by controlling others.  But in fact your control of others will ultimately be at the expense of your control over your own life."  An excellent column by John T. Kennedy.

An Embedded Premise

"Remove government from schools and the 'problem' of religion in schools is suddenly nowhere to be found--everybody patronizes the kinds of schools they favor. The supposed problem vanishes because it never was the problem; government was the problem all along."  Column by John T. Kennedy.

The Wrong Hill

"It doesn't matter if there is a right side in the war, neither side can have any right to require Charlie Anderson to participate in any way. This is the argument libertarians need to make, not that war is evil, but that it can never be moral to force others to participate."  Column by John T. Kennedy.

The Invisible Hand of Spontaneous Corruption

"Government representatives, however wise, can never reasonably manage the economic affairs of men because the act of governing itself destroys the measurement of individual preferences necessary to make valid economic decisions."  Column by John T. Kennedy.
