http://libertycornerii.blogspot.com/2008/01/cell-phones-and-driving-once-more.html
Liberty Corner's longest posts reside here. Sunday, January 27, 2008. Cell Phones and Driving, Once More: Addendum. This is an addendum to " Cell Phones and Driving, Once More. AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies, Working Paper 07-15, July 2007.) The question I address here is whether it is possible to quantify that link through time-series analysis. Be seen in aggregate statistics, to which I will come. Adding cell-phone use to year results in a better fit (R-squared = 0.948), and the ...

Liberty Corner II: September 2005
http://libertycornerii.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Liberty Corner's longest posts reside here. Wednesday, September 21, 2005. This one's for Don Watkins III of. Who has announced that he's shuttering his blog and taking down his archives. (The links in this post to Don's blog and posts may not be working by the time you read this.) I've been fiddling with this post for a few months, off and on, in the hope that Don would reply to it at. Anger Management. Perhaps, if he has the time, he'll acknowledge it at Diana Hsieh's. In which I said:. Thomas is defen...

Bellum et Mores: May 2006
http://drjjm.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Philosophical Musings on Ethics, Politics and War (i.e., pretentious-sounding claims that shouldn't be taken all that seriously). Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Matt McIntosh has responded. To his initial article. On Mill and polycentric law. Matt raises some good points there; go check it out. But this post isn't really a reply to Matt, but rather to part of the discussion thread in Matt's post. There Dain criticized my arguments as neocolonialist. I'm going to try to put the point more formally:. I tell my t...

Robot Rights Forum: February 2009
http://robotrightsforum.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 20, 2009. Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? With all due respect to Boy George, I consider today whether the type of rights that might be afforded robots are a robot's right to be free from harm. But why should the abuse of a robot concern us? Do robots need rights to keep humans from harming them (a robot Bill of Rights so to speak), or do we need protections to keep robots from harming humans? But what is a man's impetus for wanting to give a machine rights? In fact, there is reason to th...

A TRIBUTE TO ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND A COMMENTARY ON THE DESTRUCTION THEREOF. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Or am I more likely to spend that money now because I know that more will soon be on the way once the first round of funding runs out? Instinctively, we react negatively when we hear about how our money is being given to AIG and doled out in large sums to executives. We are paying to run a company whose business model we disagree with! That is not fair! What becomes the solution? Quite disgusted with how...

A TRIBUTE TO ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND A COMMENTARY ON THE DESTRUCTION THEREOF. Saturday, November 17, 2012. Why the Popular Vote Doesn't Matter. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am Capital Freedom, also known as Economic Freedom, or "Freedom" for short. I am not very popular with politicians, but I am friends with both rich and poor. I help the old and young, and everyone in between - although I'm rarely given any credit. In fact, I am often blamed for the world's problems, even when I'm not there!

Capital Freedom: December 2009
http://capitalfreedom.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A TRIBUTE TO ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND A COMMENTARY ON THE DESTRUCTION THEREOF. Friday, December 25, 2009. Hope and change, hope and change . It seems that this was the message we heard last year, and we certainly were hoping for change after years of fiscal irresponsibility. What happened to "not adding a single dollar to the deficit," as Obama promised just a couple months ago? Yet it seems that the public perception has been so well managed that people still believe that fiscal responsibility is on its way.
