In this column I pose questions and raise issues. The purpose is to put a slightly different spin on each item, provoke thinking or give you ideas for how to respond to things. Think of them as "sound bite arguments."

• A man who now opposes modern bigotry is a bully while a feminist who now opposes the bigotry of 100 years ago is a warrior.
• In the 70s I trusted the media but most of my peers did not; now, most of my peers trust the media but I don't, so which of us got smarter?
• For those who truly believe that black lives matter, the answer is not more government interference, but less.
• Automation and exponential technological change will replace aging workers.
• The rich getting richer would not be a problem if rest of us were not getting poorer.
• To confound feminists say, "Stop Violence Against Unborn Women."
• The Roman Republic endured almost 500 years before it devolved into an empire; the American Republic barely managed 200 years.
• What will happen on November 21, 2018?
• Nobody protests when it's an American Indian or white who gets shot; why do only black lives matter?
• "You can do anything if you have no fear – but you cannot do anything if you fear everything to the point you cannot act." -Martin Armstrong
• Socialism leads to crony capitalism.
• The US border should be open, but not while the welfare state exists.
• "I don't think there's an unfair portrait of women in Hollywood." - Morgan Freeman
• The Internet has allowed a level of awareness that "Net Neutrality" will destroy.
• The water shortage in California could be solved by the market if prices were allowed to rise in response to demand.
• For 50 years feminists screeched that "all the princes are rapists," so all the men are walking away while women continue to look for a prince to save them.
• By poisoning society against men feminists are creating a future that will be poisoned against women.
• Citizen apathy is often the expression of the belief that there is nothing we as individuals can do to change things.
• Is rap music part of a cultural Marxist agenda to destroy Black families?
• If men ever get the equivalent of a birth control pill, feminists will claim it oppresses women.
• Will MGTOW who want to outlaw hypergamy also support outlawing male desire for the prettiest women?
• Libertarians should oppose feminism because it is about hurting men and taking their stuff.
• Within 20 years most jobs of today will be done by robots and computers.
• Fascists on the left and the right defend politicians who oppose free markets and personal liberty.
• What will the definition of wealth be when the cost of living plummets?
• Crony capitalists are rallying to force countries to allow Monsanto to impose their GMOs on local markets.
• The alternative to socialism is free enterprise, in which individuals are free to exchange their labor and the products of their labor for goods and services and money, and then are at liberty to invest the fruits of their labor in the enterprises of other individuals, which is called capitalism. But socialists are totalitarian thugs who want to punish people who do that, and the end result of socialism is what we call crony capitalism, which is what we have today, and that is about to collapse.
• Monsanto should not be allowed to first contaminate their neighbors' crops and then use law enforcement to destroy those crops and put their neighbors out of business for patent infringement.
• For an electronic central banking system to work there would have to be an inviolable firewall between control of the money supply and politicians.
