"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

Sad news...MN History is history. After a decade and nearly 500 MN History columns, Star Tribune editors have decided not to renew my contract. Thanks to everyone for suggesting ideas, sharing sweet feedback and reading the tales. I’ve loved writing every word.
