Really ? I don't.
Why another thread about Platt's politics ?
(Rather than morals and values.)

Because the credibility of this list takes a hit every time a faux
philosopher is allowed to post unsupported, immoral, and valueless
nonsense without challenge,

You would understand this if you read your Chomsky. But you don't, do you? msh added: Or even if the faux philosopher bothered to read John Dewey who said government is the shadow cast by big business. TFP and the other so- called "libertarians" are so far out of touch with reality they think the shadow exists on its own. The concept of eminent domain has taken a business-inspired surrealistic shift, that's for sure. The original idea was to acquire land for the public good, that is, to move private land into public hands for the benefit of the community as a whole. Now it's about taking land from one private party and giving it to another just because the second party will generate more profit from it. However, don't expect such eminent domain issues to arise in Malibu or Brentwood or the Hamptons. And lemme know when the government decides to take Bill Gate's house in order to build a public school or park or library. Now THAT would be an interesting development.
