Carey Roberts’ article illustrates the hydra of political correctness and liberal special interest that permeates the current spate of freedom grabbing policies. I always enjoy watching the wrangling that goes into liberal policy making. In an effort to screw all special interest groups equally (in the guise of helping them) they produce convoluted, Kafka like legislation that still ends up causing howls of protest from some group that feels they didn’t get theirs. I’d enjoy the spectacle all the more if I didn’t lose freedom and treasure in the process. I will use this article as just another argument to illustrate the inequalities of forced “fairness”.

This piece is like fretting about the impact that an oceanic plane crash will have upon the coral reefs while you're on the plane plummeting toward the sea.
