Centralizing Failure

Posted on May 30, 2010 by Curtis Greco

Henry Louis Mencken, in my opinion, refined the greatest risk to the republican form of government in a supremely elegant phrase;

Just yesterday, as I was driving to my office, a California Highway Patrol Officer invited me to suspend my efforts by directing me to the side of the road. As he approached my window, I was recycling the past few moments through my head attempting to identify the transgression having captured his attention. I wasn’t speeding, I hadn’t been talking on my cell phone, I hadn’t changed lanes without a signal – I was at a loss.  Read more...

My regular readers might find the comments of interest. They are reproduced and appeared as follows:

Euro-faux!

Posted on February 14, 2010 by Curtis Greco

Dr. Krugman (NYT Columist) authored an article on February 8th entitled  “Europerspective  ”, an interesting piece in as much as it nicely illustrates one perspective that is often proffered as in the Centrist-Liberal “FEI” whose greatest contribution is its illustrating how distructive these perspectives truly are.  The following is my contribution to Dr. Krugman’s comentary, I trust you will find it interesting.  Read more...
