Join the debate on Policymic over David Smith's column 'Why U.S. Politics is Immoral'

David Livingstone Smith, Ph.D., associate professor of philosophy, wrote an invited column titled "Why U.S. Politics is Immoral" on Policymic - the political/current affairs site for college students. Smith explains the column stems from a discussion by his students in one of his UNE philosophy classes and that the Policymic editors hope that UNE students will join the online conversation.

Smith's most recent book is Less Than Human: Why We Demean, Enslave, and Exterminate Others, which he recently discussed on NPR's Talk of the Nation. He is also the author of  Why We Lie: The Evolutionary Roots of Deception and the Unconscious Mind and The Most Dangerous Animal: Human Nature and the Origins of War.
