Government Thinks We are Stupid

Posted on January 21, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a fundamental problem with most regulation, is that they require as a precondition, people are stupid. This premise of regulation doesn’t comport with reality. People are smart, self interested, and for the most part … Continue reading →

Crime, Incentives and the Elite

Posted on January 13, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a lawmaker who doesn’t subject himself to his own law, is like a cook who won’t eat his own cooking. In the case of a cook this can lead to gastrointestinal distress, but in … Continue reading →

To Shine the Light of Criticism on Evil is Heroic and to Vilify Good is Not

Posted on December 27, 2012 by john
