I'm in favor of free ponies and ice cream. Maybe I should blog about it.

- stefan_kendall 13y agoSocialist reductionism always works for me, although never as I expect. "Health is important. Doctors should be free, right?" - Yes. "But what about housing?! People can't just freeze to death. So housing should be universally free for everyone, right?" - Yes. "Clothing is just as important as housing. Clothing?" - Yes. "And food? You can't live without food. Universal free food?" - Yes. "And without access to technology, you can't get a job, so surely the government should provide computers and phones. Otherwise people have no chance of rising out of poverty. Universal technology?" - Yes. I'm pretty sure no one has ever gotten the point, and I've only turned half-hearted socialists into full-blown socialists. Oh well.
- reginaldjcooper 13y agoYes, yes, no because clothing is affordable and not gone after a single use, yes, no but internet should be a utility and libraries should have computers available. Am I too socialist?
