Una Salus Victus Nullam Sperare Salutem

It happens.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

When I read the article, I thought that it was posted by Cates as a guest blogger.  In retrospect (as you now know) you should have gotten his permission before posting his email.  Always a next time…

Being liberal is never having to admit you’re wrong

The mistake was Steve’s, not mine.  He sent out an email to several publications and CC’d me on it.  In the email he requested that his post be published.  So I did, not understanding that it was an FYI cc and not a “please do this as well” CC.

His email, to anyone reading it, indicated that I had his permission to publish it.  I am certainly not in the habit of publishing other people’s works without first asking them.

I didn’t think so.  It seems like Cates is being a bit disengineous.
