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 →

On the Debt Limit Debate

Posted on January 17, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the upcoming debt ceiling debate could be won handily by the republicans, if they only use some good old down Eastern shrewdness. The debate has been framed by Obama, the democrats and the unbiased … Continue reading →

Posted on January 14, 2013 by john

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 →

Obama’s Depression

On Freedom of Religion vs. Separation of Church and State.

Posted on December 31, 2012 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the fully sophist term, “separation of church and State,” is diametrically opposed to the concept of freedom of religion. The first, separation, demands the State focus on eradicating religion from the public square, and … Continue reading →
