    Some feel the bill of rights is redundant; the 9th and 10th amendments doubly so. But if I could add another amdt in the spirit of the 9th and 10th, it would be: The right of people to do things to themselves which some consider stupid shall not be infringed.

    It’s basically satire at this point. Anonymous intelligence officials leak to the media evidence-free and utterly vague claims that Russia supports whichever candidates they hate, and we’re all supposed to just swallow it uncritically because of their history for truthfulness:

    “Real ID” is a boondoggle. Waste of time, waste of money, expansion of government, virtually no benefit. Prove me wrong.

    Great OpEd by . doesn’t even know what he doesn’t know.

    .⁦⁩ 2016 comments degrading farmers are totally off-base “Despite what Bloomberg might think, the notion of replacing people with technology is not unique to the information economy. It has been true with farming from the beginning.”

    I don’t think he’s ever farmed or operated machine tools, so I can see how he would say something this asinine...
