2005: The Farce of Freedom?: Radley Balko is a policy analyst at the Cato Institute:"A favorite standby of pundits and columnists is to predict what developments will transpire over the next 12 months. I've decided to take the reductio ad absurdum approach, and predict what might happen in 2006 should the most disturbing trends of the last few years with respect to liberty and personal freedom continue unabated.
You might find what follows to be a bit farfetched. Silly, even. But bear with me."
Must-read from Radley. It's hard to see all these things together in a cohesive fashion, and all together, it speaks volumes. Click through to Cato
