This is a reply to a comment reply, but due to chronic writer’s block, and to the advantages in being regular and frequent in one’s blogging, I’m milking a post out of it. The reply in question is a reply to a comment by David Gendron, who tells us (I’m pretty sure) “how networking [wouldn’t]…

Google Graffiti Pops Up In NYC: Just another reminder that, while the government is not your friend, the private sector is not your friend, either.

Fictional characters to whom I relate The meme (courtesy of Jamie) is simple; name six fictional characters in whom you could see yourself, and explain why you were able to do so. Mine are as follows: Shevek: From U. K. LeGuin’s The Dispossessed. Not the theoretical physicist protagonsit, but the other Shevek, inventor of a…

Nothing offends my sensibilities quite like anti-union (or even anti-union-shop) union members.  Whenever anyone has a complaint with any other aspect of the workplace, they’re the first to parrot the “libertarian” slogan “nobody’s holding a gun to your head.”  Good union jobs are wasted on such people.  Ironically, they’re also the first to tell me…

List of platform planks stolen from the left-libertarian platform. Copyright, Patents, and Trademarks Intellectual property is a by-product of the necessity of earning a living. It is the kludge created to answer the question “how can I do something creative and get paid for it.” An inevitable side-effect has been a “gold rush” mentality that…
