Customer Reviews
Boring
I bought a subscription through a fund-raiser. I've been pleased with the variety of subjects, but the articles are very long and dull. I think my favorite piece was a cartoon about the New Hampshire primary. It was in my first issue, and I have not seen anything even remotely creative since. I plan to let my subscription lapse.
A Pleasant Middle Ground, Logic Over Emotion.
This is not a magazine for ideologues, this is for folks who truly believe in the title "Reason." You won't find the extremes of say "Liberty{Libertarian} or The Nation{Left}" in these pages. For anyone who likes current events & politics this is a new approach at looking at the world. There is a balance of both American & international views without being preachy. The reader may not agree with every articles concluding remedy for said problem? But, you will find the fresh perspective as one which will make you think differently about the issue.
It is divided into five parts. Departments, Culture & Reviews, Articles, Columnists, & Editorials. They all feature current events issues that are put into a new focus when compared to say "Time or Newsweek." The departments are divided into three parts. Letters, Citings, & Artifact. The first is obvious, the second has brief writings as in your local newspaper's. The latter is a one page article at the end of every issue, & often features something funny or unusual. Writers like Nick Gillespie, Jesse Walker, & Michael Lynch do not specialize in any one field. They often contribute to different sections of the magazine at various times. The photos are black & white, it is about seventy pages per issue, it comes out eleven times a year, & has only 15-20% of it devoted to advertising.
Good Reading
Reason is a good magazine for your smart friends. It makes you think and it is actually very well written.
A yawner of a magazine.
I let my subscription lapse a few years ago. Unread issues just kept piling up because the magazine had gotten consistently dull. There was also some sloppy writing here and there. The "Big Fat Fake" by Fumento in the March 2003 issue was the last straw for me. Gary Taubes refuted everything Fumento had to say. Reason magazine lost credibility.
When Reason stops wasting my time with misinformation and predictability, I'll give them another try.
Death to the Statists!
I just started getting Reason in the mail and have to agree that it is significantly superior to merely downloading the articles online. "Brickbats" is probably my favorite section as most of us instinctively like short articles that convey a significant amount of information. Perhaps some of you are like me in that you are predominantly conservative but have now become alienated by the habits of the Grand Old Spending Party and seek a level of ideological purity that cannot be found within Republican sources. If so, you'll be attracted to Reason as well. Its uniqueness is what makes preferrable to the rest of the stuff out there. The truth of the matter is that the statists, rather than the Democrats alone, are the true enemy of the people of the United States.
