p.s. hope you don't mind me ranting on your blog :)
ReplyDeleteYou started it!!
hummm... guess you were saved from my rant by goodgle freaking out. I was mostly just going to say that it think its great that you see a problem and are willing to act on it rather than just whining about it.
ReplyDeleteI reserve my right to whine. I've done a lot of whining in my day, and I expect to do plenty more. But, I agree that simply criticizing a certain approach without providing an alternative is weak. I may not like statism, but I know that all of us need help at one time or another, so I'd better be prepared to try a different idea.
