You're conflating willing payment with unforeseen consequences. When we don't look after one another purposefully, we end up "looking after one another" in the form of systemic damage to the whole system. So, while you're right that we don't have to pay attention, purposefully, to risk pools, the costs will always be present. By paying attention to it, the argument goes, we lessen the overall damage, at the cost of the "redistribution wealth" the right wingers are so afraid of. So, you're wrong in the naive assertion. It is not merely necessary, it is THE CASE that we are a whole and always "look after one another", in the end. The question is about when to do the looking ... before or after bad things happen. -- ␦glen? ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
