http://www.law.uchicago.edu/news/posner_r-cc.html Richard Posner on liberalism and conscription. A nice observation: “… since the left has been notably unsuccessful in restricting economic liberty, and the right has been largely unsuccessful in restricting personal liberty, what we have in fact, though it is rarely acknowledged, is an approximation, though a very rough one, to a Millian polity.” (This gets a little weird and unconvincing at the end; I don’t believe that “nation’s admiration for [soldiers] helps to bind the different income classes together.”) 23:13
