If you meant the "Going down with the Titanic" one, I think he's quite right that the unions were wrong to cave and support the health care deform bill because of some token concessions (that raised the value of policies subject to the excise tax and delayed implementation) but, as he too often does, wrote with a club rather than a rapier about the potential consequences.<br /><br />If you mean the most recent "What now" post, I just wrote this comment there:<br /><br /><i>A personal policy of saying I want to put my time and my energy and my money to causes in which I believe and not let someone else decide for me is a sound basis for ethical political decisions. I would only caution against what I have seen so many times over the years, where "decentralization or death" has become "decentralized to death." One group subsuming 1000 voices into one will always be something less than the sum of its parts and never be truly representative of the whole - but 1000 groups of one voice each will always be something less than effective.<br /><br />The point, I suppose, is where you draw the line - and I guess that has to be an individual judgment.</i><br /><br />Does that answer your question?Lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774266443353774752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074121.post-3064723838558124522010-03-24T22:46:49.521-05:002010-03-24T22:46:49.521-05:00Didja see what Richard wrote?
