pinko Freedom and costs

Muddleglum made an interesting blog post on costs and individual freedom. Now, I'm going to do a blog post answering that, and arguing against Muddleglum's thesis, but I would first love to see everyone get stuck into the subject in this thread and express their own points of view.

You'll notice that my firat comment was a quotation from A.A. Milne so if Gurdur argues against my thesis, he is in actuality arguing against Winnie the Pooh.

Muddleglum definitely knows how to work the crowd. I'm considering all possible counters.

Yeah, no kidding. Pointing out that you'd be contradicting Winnie-the-Pooh? That's harsh. *grins*

Thanks for the boost, Gurdur,

It's even better than ya know, though.
Spoiler:
I was using the quote from Milne as a foil, so contradicting me would be supporting Winnie the Pooh.


Shhh. Don't tell, now. Hear?
