re: #371 Timothy Watson

Awkward position for someone who used to Reason all the time, but they were well ahead of the game when it comes to police abuses and civil asset forfeiture.

I used to read Reason quite a bit too. They were/are always too dogmatic in their libertarianism (“why do barbers need professional licenses?”), but they were good on quite a few issues (like you said, police abuse and civil asset forfeiture - I forget where they came down exactly on Iraq).

In the age of Trump, I’ve a feeling that temporary and/or per issue alliances are going to be important. I’ve also a feel that our current political world might not be able to handle those anymore.
