Quote of the Day: On scapegoats and alleged evil-doers

 

“The fallacy of characterising social problems as questions of evil-intentioned culprits who are identifiable and, hence, punishable, is a common mistake unfortunately not restricted to the housing crisis.”
~ Thomas Hazlett in his article ‘Rent Controls & the Housing Crisis’

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
