An Overview of Common Sense by Thomas Paine, Part 1: Of the Origin and Design of Government
It seemed like a theological commentary or some academic paper, and I would’ve walked right past it if it hadn’t been in the classics section of Barnes & Nobles. The dull brown leatherback made it indistinguishable from the leatherbound versions of the Bible or the copy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra that sat right next to it: just one thing caught my eye. It sat face down on a shelf, and a unique etching was on its back, a snake cut up into different pieces with a caption in all-

Wyoming's Resolution to "Ban" Electric Vehicles Falls Short

Why California Gas Prices Are Dropping and What This Means for the Future
Contrary to previous trends, California’s gas prices have dropped 29% since the nation’s record high of $6.43 in June. The reason for this decline is the premature shift to cheaper winter-blend gasoline. However, to understand the gravity of these changes, it is crucial to account for the roots of California’s incomparably high fuel prices.
