Term Paper FAQs

Ethics.  The lowdown, the straight poop:  what ethics is, according to me (article I wrote for Worldbook Encyclopedia).

On Liberty  Just what you wanted -- a searchable copy of Mill's book!  Makes it pretty easy to find any passage.. .

The Ways of John Gray:  A Libertarian Commentary, by Daniel Klein.  This is a good account of Gray's critique of the pro-liberty aspect of liberalism.  It's also a good introduction to further study of Gray's ideas, as it has a good bibliography.

Second Treatise of Government  Searchable copy of Locke's book.

Gun Control, by Hugh LaFollette.  A searchable, electronic copy of LaFollete's article.

Gun Debate A discussion between John Lott and a prominent advocate of stringent gun control.

The "Drug Legalization Symposium"

"What Good Are Drugs, Anyway?"  by Lester Hunt.  This was written as a comment on the other papers in the symposium but, after the first paragraph, I think it can stand by itself.
