If people are willing to come forward with evil thoughts and intentions and announce them publicly, why wouldn't we let them? Its is fine to want to eliminate evil from the Earth, but ~~shilling~~ banning hateful speech doesn't do this -- it only drives evil underground.

"Ride The Thunder" Movie: A Dream 12 Years In The Making

Goodhart's Law

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
Or:
"As soon as the government attempts to regulate any particular set of financial assets, these become unreliable as indicators of economic trends."

There are obvious implications in the measurement of the economy, but this is also evident in business behavior. There are countless managers and supervisors in almost every company on earth shooting for specific metrics that are being used to measure success.

And a little treat below the fold.....Some old guy ranting about stuff like freedom and the dignity of the individual and sacrifice.
