Welcome to another episode of Technically, That's Illegal.
First up is a discussion of some "libertarian magic" called Shared Space, which I was introduced to by Dick Puddlecote's blog (including recommended video).
After that, I talk about a politican who completely overreacted to some immature behavior by acting immaturely himself and attempting to make photoshopping illegal.
Then, I discuss the delicate balance of code enforcement issues and another politician who is attempting to ban texting while crossing the road.
Michael Carroll - It Is What It Is! |
This episode starts with a discussion of the movie Craigslist Joe, which is a fascinating look at America through the eyes of someone who tried to live off of the generosity of people on Craigslist for an entire month. This leads to a discussion about altruism and whether we can do good without being forced to by the government. A variety of topics stem off of that.
Some links that are discussed in the episode:
