A thought for the day
Apropos of my one of my posts yesterday on green energy, I thought you might be interested in this. It is from Saturday’s Wall Street Journal’s “Notable & Quotable” section.
P.J. O’Rourke gave the following remarks at Radio Free Europe in Prague:
The free market is not an ideology or a creed or something we’re supposed to take on faith, it is a measurement. It’s a bathroom scale. I may hate what I see when I step on the bathroom scale, but I can’t pass a law saying I weigh 160 pounds. Authoritarian governments think they can pass a law–a law to change the measurement of things.
They can’t.
