I don't suppose he cares one way or the other what I think as long as I don't force him to agree with me, but I think that John is not just contradicting people but arguing from a coherent position: many problems are too complex for even intelligent planners to solve centrally, their attempts to do so are often counterproductive, assembling a large number of levers of coercive power in the hands of governments amplifies the degree to which those planners can make far- reaching mistakes compared to the possibilities for planners in corporations, and governments tend to make those large and expensive mistakes with other people's resources at little cost to themselves Rich GCU Putting Words in His Mouth _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
