Is There a Moral Duty to Disobey an Unjust Law? TODAY at 12 p.m. ET

The main inspiration for today’s show topic was this sobering video from JP Sears:

Spoiler: he thinks many of the mandates our governments have imposed recently, are unjust. And, referring to Martin Luther King Jr.’s assertion, in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, that one has a moral duty to disobey unjust laws, he briefly made an argument in favor of that position, one that I had not considered. That’s the main topic I wanted to discuss today, in conjunction with some stories about one of the mandates coming soon: COVID vaccines for children.

More topics planned as well. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss with Benjamin–and whoever shows up for our live chat on YouTube.

We’ll be broadcasting live on my YouTube Channel here.

UPDATE: Recording of today’s show is available here:
