Unintended Realization

October 3, 2007 at 5:16 pm (economics, liberty, thoughts)

Over the weekend I was out in some wooded country, where I’ve noticed there’s been a lot of development and road construction. Later that night, I contemplated the silliness of the government trying to protect the environment by opening an HOV lane — which required cutting down hundreds of trees to widen the road. Subsequently, I woke up, realizing I had dreamed the whole thing about an HOV lane. I guess you know you’re a libertarian when you dream about unintended consequences.
