Broken Noses, Broken Logic | The Agitator

Broken Noses, Broken Logic

Tuesday, May 4th, 2004

Last week, some guy named Douglas Kern published a laughably incoherent piece on Tech Central which rambingly scolded libertarians for libertinism, struck a veiled blow against gay marriage, called for a more paternalistic government, and was bookended by intro and concluding graphs suggesting that we can thank libertarians for wife beaters (actual wife beaters, not poor fashion sense).

I wanted to dismantle the piece over the weekend, but I really didn’t have time, and I’m not even sure where I might have begun.

Fortunately, Micah Ghertner took care of business.

But Radley, there’s so much more to say that Micah (good piece) didn’t say!

Sigh.

It amazes me that Kern’s odd stream-of-consciousness style of writing (to be generous) is published at all. Kern’s review of Peter Singer’s book “The President of Good and Evil” starts out by saying:

“I’m closed minded.”

And it shows…
