New Feature: ‘Tagging’ (Archives by Subject)

Posted April 23, 2008, 1:35 p.m.

I just introduced a new feature to Off on a Tangent called ‘Tagging’ or, in my personal nomanclature, ‘Archives by Subject’. This is a built-in feature of the WordPress blogging and content management system that I’m using that will hopefully help you to more-quickly find related content. For example, if you click on the ‘Politics’ tag, you’ll find all of my political content (whether it be opinion, reporting, endorsements, or analysis). If you click on the ‘Technology’ tag you’ll find all my technology content (whether it be reporting, analysis, or reviews). And so on.

Some of my older content isn’t tagged yet, so it’s not a ‘complete’ implementation, but it’s getting there. You can see the full list of subjects in the right column of the site.

Scott Bradford is a writer and technologist who has been putting his opinions online since 1995. He believes in three inviolable human rights: life, liberty, and property. He is a Catholic Christian who worships the trinitarian God described in the Nicene Creed. Scott is a husband, nerd, pet lover, and AMC/Jeep enthusiast with a B.S. degree in public administration from George Mason University.

Quotes

Just as in syllogistic arguments, granted one absurdity, others must needs follow; so in moral matters, given one absurdity, others must follow too.

Thomas Aquinas

Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.

John Adams

[The federal government’s] jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any.

James Madison

The laws of God, like the law of gravity, do not depend upon how I feel about them. They are inexorable, and God has willed them to be knowable, even in the absence of strong emotion or apparent miracles.

Scott Hahn

From a moral point of view this is certain: even if a doubt existed concerning whether the fruit of conception is already a human person, it is objectively a grave sin to dare to risk murder.

Catholic Church

But a constitution of government once changed from freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

John Adams

It is very easy to change a free government into an arbitrary one, but that it is very difficult to convert tyranny into freedom.

Anonymous

[The] power of accurate observation . . . is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

Bernard Shaw

Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Maya Angelou

There is always a certain meanness in the argument of conservatism, joined with a certain superiority in its fact.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Fifth Amendment is an old friend and a good friend, one of the great landmarks in men’s struggle to be free of tyranny, to be decent and civilized.

William O. Douglas

In the United States . . . all that [a man] asks of the state is not to be disturbed in his toil, and to be secure of his earnings.

Alexis de Tocqueville

God reigneth. All is well.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

The heart of the liberal philosophy is a belief in the dignity of the individual, in his freedom to make the most of his capacities and opportunities according to his own lights, subject only to the proviso that he not interfere with the freedom of other individuals to do the same.

Milton Friedman

[Joking is] proof of your superiority over . . . the things you’re poking fun at.

Nicolas Chamfort

We are not saved by reading and trying to live the Sermon on the Mount, i.e., by imitation. . . . God gave us not just words but The Word; not just a philosopher but a martyr; not just His mind but His Body.

Peter Kreeft

I am dumbfounded at how little philosophical and metaphysical importance the human mind has attached to the vital subject of excrement.

Salvador Dalí

When suffering comes, we yearn for some sign from God, forgetting that we have just had one.

Mignon McLaughlin

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

Thomas Jefferson

What I have done I have done, because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn’t have done it.

Mark Twain
