Block Attacks Rockwell for 'Extremism'

Walter Block at LewRockwell.com - rollicking "put down" of Lew Rockwell's "extremism", focusing on his recent proposal to unregulate electricity. [lew]

Yes, there are problems in the energy field. This cannot be denied. But if Lew had called for more "hearings, reports, meetings, yammering, resolutions, reforms" I could go along with him. This after all, constitutes responsible public policy analysis. Surely, if we fire a few of the people responsible for the present mess, and replace them with party hacks, no, sorry, a thousand pardons, I meant better engineers who have graduated from schools that emphasize inclusivity, political correctness, feminist and gay studies and affirmative action, we would have better results. Or, if Rockwell had stressed that the provision of electrical power is too complex for the states and localities to run, and that only federal expertise would suffice, then I might be able to support him. FEMA, for example, and the Army Corp of Engineers could be brought in to solve the problem. (But don't for a moment count on this extremist getting with the program on that matter. Here is what he had to say about those organizations.)
