Our twenty-fourth Center of Progress is Wellington during the late 19th century, when the city made New Zealand the first country in the world to grant women the right to vote. At the time, that was considered a radical move. The reformers who successfully petitioned New Zealand’s parliament then traveled the world, organizing suffrage movements in other countries. Today, thanks to the trend begun in Wellington, women can vote in every democracy, except for the Vatican, where only cardinals vote in the Papal conclave.

Attorney: Fuel station owners accuse Colville Tribal Council of ‘illegal’ taxation practices, lawsuits filed
According to an attorney, two fuel station owners on Colville tribal land are ‘up in arms’ over fuel excise tax and tobacco tax rebate money owed to them. Zachary Love of ZEL and Associates in Spokane has been retained to represent two people who have filed lawsuits against the tribe over tax payment-related discrepancies. The plaintiffs in the case are Gene Nicholson, owner of Gene’s Native Smokes and Fuel in Oroville and Mike Finley, who owns the Inchelium Short Stop.

Is it time adults recognize that children are capable of far greater responsibility at vastly younger ages than those at which we begin to give them freedom?

Further lowering the voting age—which at 18 is already quite low—degrades the positives of democracy in America and turns it into the sad caricature of mob rule that the Founders feared. Let us do more to create responsible adults and citizens rather than perpetually apply “democracy” in places where it is unwarranted.

Filmmaker Michael Moore, the anti-humanist himself, had the audacity to claim that Republicans are “trying to kill as many Americans as possible” on the March 17 episode of his “Rumble with Michael Moore” podcast. Such a ridiculous accusation is rich coming from the self-proclaimed socialist who practically revelled in the thought of millions of Republicans dying from the coronavirus by refusing to wear masks.
