Easy is a great movie about why monogamy, fidelity, and abstinence before marriage is a Good Thing™, because Jamie messes her life up so much.#
Keith and the Girl lead "HUAR!". Humans Unite Against Robots.#
Bryan Caplan: "But this story still seems helpless to explain all the times that kids ignore parental advice that really is in the kid's best interest, like "Don't run into traffic," or "Don't major in philosophy.""#
Morgan Spurlock: "And as regular readers of my blog know by now, today's adolescent or teen is still 200-700 times more likely to have anorexia or bulimia than to have Type II Diabetes. So all of this focus on weight and food with respect to kids is probably doing a hell of a lot more harm than good."#
Bryan Caplan writes about Hong Kong's democratic opinions.#
To be blunt, it looks like the lack of democracy under British rule was a key component of Hong Kong's ascent. The policies worked wonders, but they never became democratically self-sustaining. In politics, people often resist policy change just because "things have always been this way," even if the results were never very good. But free-market policies apparently labor under a greater political handicap. Even if "we've always left these things to the free market," even if leaving things to the free market has worked in the past, it just isn't enough to win over public opinion.
