| [OTTAWASUN] Driving assisted-living residences into bankruptcy leaves customers worse off... It recalls Chesterton's 1922 lament, "The burden upon us is that we are not ruled by men of ordinary ignorance, but of extraordinary ignorance." |

| #2 Now, be fair. Thanks to considerable progress in the intervening 90 years itÂ’s now men and women of extraordinary ignorance. Especially of basic economics. Lets not only be fair. Lets be honest. Were it not for the economic illiteracy of the voting public these people would not have been elected in the first place. It is only our own inept perception of economic principles that allows us to embrace the malignant socialistic concept that social equality is somehow the only means for achieving economic prosperity. It is always easy to blame the politicians. But to be fair and honest, we have met the economically ignorant and it is us. |
