A neat Cracked article on political misconceptions

Recommended Posts

Hey, it's the once yearly "here's happy posting a cracked article that says stuff he likes and agrees with that is at least minimum effort researched". It's also generally upbeat in tone and we could use more articles like that anyway. Enjoy.

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Pretty spot on. 

Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention.
