Well, no, my point is that in time you can figure out who has a good reputation, who doesn't, and you have the power to ignore the ones who don't. Jon Katz has, in my view, a reputation as a loudmouth who expounds on things whether he has a clue or not. Sometimes he's on the mark, and receives praise. Other times he's just an idiot. Some people can't tell the difference and damn him all the time. I don't. I tell him he's an idiot when he's being an idiot.
Are you saying that I should just ignore Jon when he's being an idiot? Where's the reality check in that? Wouldn't I be doing him a better service to say "Jon, you're being an idiot." -russ
Jon, the problem is not that people abuse their freedom with words. The problem is that idiots like you think the problem is theirs. You've just got to learn to ignore people (possibly using technological means) who do not stand behind their words with a reputation. -russ p.s. yes it hurts to find out in the concrete that someone doesn't like me; yet I already knew that in the abstract.
How do you detect coerced voting when you don't have poll watchers? The whole idea of the secret free vote goes down the drain. It's a damnfool idea, promulgated by damn fools. Shoot it down whenever you can. -russ

How can the government save us from Time-Warner, when it's the government that gave Time-Warner it's monopoly?

The merger needs to be carefully scrutinized, and hopefully stopped. You are wrong because you have decided before examination (that's a priori for you legal latin lovers) that the merge is bad. You want to stop it regardless of its actual effects. Why? Because you suffer from a fear of the future. If it's new, it's presumptively bad without "scrutiny", and must be "stopped". See Virginia Postrel's _The Future and its Enemies_ for a real clue. -russ

Jon, we don't need anti-trust law. There are two kinds of monopolies: those created by the market because the company has created something people want, and those created by the government. In Time-Warner's case, their cable franchises were granted in a monopolistic fashion, so there's your problem right there. In AOL's case, where's the monopoly? There isn't one. They just did a better job than anyone else at getting people on the Internet. So why shouldn't they merge, other than the fact that YOU don't want them to? -russ
