I read somewhere a couple of days ago that someone said the disaster in
Mississippi was a result of God's anger at the sinful iniquity of gambling
in recent years, and this is a sign they should repent, etc.
So now we can blame God (or was it Satan?), socialism (or was it
capitalism?), President Bush (or was it the democrats?). Take your
choice. In Prof. Dumas' view, it was a result of all those folks becoming
dependent on the government. Silly people, spending tax money to have the
government build levees, when they should have each been stacking sand bags
around their own little plots of land.
For my two cents, I offer an alternative understanding of what it means to
be a Libertarian, this one from Isaac Puente, a leading figure in the
Spanish (n.b., Prof. Preble-Niemi) CNT, writing in 1932:
