Please do read this extraordinary piece by Megan McArdle. It's ostensibly about the policy implications of gay marriage, but it is really about different ways of looking at and understanding the world. It defies excerpts; just go read it (even at the cost of - gasp - printing it out ) consider and ponder accordingly.

I've been thinking about the implications in light of what's been written in the blog referenced in the immediately prior post, and I don't like the results. And that's all I'm going to say for now.

(Ve ha-mayvin yavin.)
