It's true, amdahlj/OneOhOne/RangersLeadTheWay has a blog.

It's a lovely combination of economics, politics, philosophy, absurdity and bad writing. It's called Emergent Disorder, a play on emergent order (an idea in economics developed by Economist Friedrich Hayek).

Feel free to check it out (or not) at EmergentDisorder.com

There isn't a whole lot yet, but I'm working on it.

Also, i haven't played in weeks.  How is it that I am still on the leaderboard?

[amdahlj]

If the link didn't work, it's because the domain forwarding crapped out for a moment there.

There was a URL, I went back and made it a link just in case.

Very nice! This one is going on my favorites just because I'm happy to see someone FINALLY gives some decent explination for the dynamics of the drug war. The only other person who I found reasonable was Stephan Molenux (FreeDomainRadio) and his general groups of involvment.

Wonderful article though.
Two thumbs up!

Thank you for the compliment.  I'm working harder at making my writing more clear, especially to those who don't have prior experience in economics.  I'm an impatient person, so part of the goal of the blog is to force myself to put my ideas down in writing in a way that other people will be able to understand.  I've got lots of work to do, but I appreciate the feedback.  That was a very limited criticism of the drug war.  The more interesting criticism of the drug war comes from looking the 'generally accepted' costs of drugs and determining which come from drugs themselves and which come from their criminalization.

Broad topics I'll probably address over the next few weeks:
Bailouts
Drug War (again)
Environmental Policy
Tax Policy

Oh wow, this is right up my ally then!
I don't really like "debates" because normally it's people trying to win rather than inform each other, so I tend to just read...I read so much.

So this like this are nice because I get to see a different opinion (or in my case a 100% agreement but with charts!).
