Freedom Is A Disorder
By Mitch Berg
Since the American left has made “spot the code word” a national sport, let’s see if we can spot any in today’s Strib editorial which, as I predicted (but didn’t write) yesterday, follows immediately on a story from yesterday that seemed to try to make the case for govenrment takeover of city trash systems.
That government is the answer to all things to the Strib Editors is no big shock. That they are resorting to name-calling to try to make their case.
So let’s highlight the code words as we read the editorial:
It’s a funny thing about garbage: We need to get rid of it, but we’re often
possessive and parochial about who takes it away.
As opposed to “perfectly happy with the status quo”, and “sick of paying taxes”, of course. Couldn’t let that into the story…
