Quote of the week
"What Friedrich Hayek called the 'fatal conceit' - the idea that government can know the future's possibilities and can and should control the future's unfolding - is the left's agenda. The left exists to enlarge the state's supervision of life, narrowing individual choices in the name of collective goods. ...
"Today's 'green left' is the old 'red left' revised. ... The green left preaches pessimism: Ineluctable scarcities (of energy, food, animal habitats, humans' living space) will require a perpetual regime of comprehensive rationing."
-- George Will
