Many of us who do NOT call themselves Libertarians understand the failings of the State but we also understand the failings of the market. <br /><br />I mean how comprehensive are these contracts you guys are writing? Do they contain within them the ethical nuances of thousands of years of contract disputes? <br /><br />Please send me the standard Libertarian contract rider so that I can behold this wonder of modern philosophy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-77630128898950606252012-02-28T22:58:42.913+13:002012-02-28T22:58:42.913+13:00Quiet and Desperate.

The whole sorry saga was explained on this blog (search for Leaky Homes, Parts 1, 2, and 3).<br /><br />This "initiative" reads just like a re-run of the same sad old story. I bet some of the same scumbags are involved as well. It certainly won't improve anything in future because it's not about skill or education; it's just a mixture of ass-covering and competition lock-out.Heisenbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853011593271456367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-76537490769477813152012-02-28T14:21:34.681+13:002012-02-28T14:21:34.681+13:00@Quiet & Desperate: "The industry has lon...@Quiet & Desperate: "The industry has long been full of cowboys and shonky practices.

I am a..."As you sew, so shall you reap." I am a victim of so called 'tradesmen' who built my leaky home and then took every action to avoid their responsibility. My retirement will be blighted by the large mortgage I now have as a result of only getting back 2/3 of what it cost to fix my house. 'Tradesman', 'professional' - do not make me laugh.
