  2. LOL: It now has a place on my office door right beside Freedom from Reality. In fact it complements it rather well. Thanks, John

  3. While I seen the writing in blogs of such people as despicted in the cartoon, what makes it funny is that it is the exact opposite of what I see most often, and because of the post times I can even tell what part of the world these things come from. From a psychological and cultural viewpoint such humor and attitude are very interesting.

  4. Hah. I just wrote a blog post about how the Adam Smith Institute's `argument' against green jobs. Summary: creating jobs is bad. No, I didn't make that up. http://tinyurl.com/3ogc8y

  5. frankbi You are right on, that "economist" is definately looney. We could use a few of those jobs here in PA.

  6. frankbi/Quietman I'd suggest reading Walter Williams, Henry Hazlitt or others on this idea before you write it off as completely "looney." I find it hard to disagree with anything "green" these days, but his logic is sound. Trashing a conservationist idea because it violates sound economic principle might well be missing the bigger issue, but attacking the logical economic theory doesn't make sense either. We need to find the common ground that everyone can buy into. Good article by Williams here: http://tinyurl.com/4oeufl and for Hazlitt I'd point you to this book: http://tinyurl.com/529bop.

  7. LAI: My dear Sir, Worstall's logic and Hazlitt's logic certainly can't both be "sound" at the same time, because they happen to contradict each other. Worstall thinks more jobs is bad, Hazlitt thinks more jobs is good. I think you may need to revise your idea of what constitutes "sound" "logic".
