Also, I do think that a Chicago-based economist would have come up with a better (read: more incomprehensible and therefore possibly correct) explanation for why he was doing it. If there's one thing UChicago economists are truly good at, it's obfuscating an issue to the point where you don't even understand what your point is, let alone what theirs might be. :-).Falstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791162324919462038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14282752.post-1126231487372200292005-09-08T19:04:00.000-07:002005-09-08T19:04:00.000-07:00Falstaff: So much for democracy!

But do you think that important legal decisions would be "democratic" if they are based on "politically motivated whims" of some UChicago-educated economist? :) Not sure whether CA had elected someone other than "some ham action star" it would have made any difference. He is only doing what any other Gov would do.<BR/><BR/>Vishnu: The People's Republic gets Arnie to sign on its degree?

SO much more democratic that important legal decisions be based on the politically motivated whims of some ham action star, rather than being left open to voting by the elected representatives of the people!<BR/><BR/>This is the reason that James Cameron never allowed the man any dialogue.Falstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791162324919462038noreply@blogger.com
