Wisely you keep it secret so as not to bring more discredit on yourself than on anyone else. <br /><br /><i>"It's on a whimsical topic of "hunger insurance" but the clever reader is able to guess the general point it illustrates"</i><br /><br />My comment had nothing to do with whether it was intended to be whimsical. More to the point it was also vaguely pretending to be making some sort of serious point about health insurance. None of the criticisms I made are addressed by "Anon" here except in the sloppy notion that I "lashed out at the author". <br /><br />As for the notion of a "clever reader", any fool can write material that is too difficult for anyone else alive to understand. The clever, worthwhile author is the one who can present ideas rather than conceal them.<br /><br /><i>"his book, which Clarke claims to have read"</i> <br />All I said of his book was: <br />"There's quite a lot of sense in the book published by Dmitri Orlov." <br /><br />"<i>accusing him of being KGB-trained"</i><br />Oh gosh! Yes I did didn't I? I wrote, clearly without a trace of tongue-in-cheek: "Did Dmitri Orlov get this training from the KGB?" [I cringe in shame].<br /><br />Eight days on, Mr Orlov still has not published my reasoned critique among the drivel of mindless flattery he did let through. And this anon above here doesn't exactly add to the credibility of those who add to his popularity-ratings. I'm more than happy not to have the admiration of such persons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358696481050046558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519424503777525095.post-18916249061762876532009-10-01T14:43:42.526+01:002009-10-01T14:43:42.526+01:00Based on a preponderance of evidence with which he...Based on a preponderance of evidence with which he was kind enough to furnish us, Robin P. Clark is an ass:<br /><br />1. He didn't understand the topic of the article he commented on. It's on a whimsical topic of "hunger insurance" but the clever reader is able to guess the general point it illustrates: that insuring against basic needs (food, medical care and so on) as opposed to rare but catastrophic events (fire, flooding, accidents and so on) is downright stupid and socially destructive. Orlov makes spells out this same point in his book, which Clarke claims to have read (but, clearly, has not understood). Instead, Clarke saw this as an opportunity (and what, for him, wouldn't be) to go on a rant about Britain's National Health Service.<br /><br />2. Clarke tried to submit a comment (which was off-topic, see 1 above) without bothering to read the instructions on Orlov's blog, which state: "If you submit a comment, it will be published, eventually, if it is good." Not seeing his comment published, he lashed out at the author, accusing him of being KGB-trained. Orlov left USSR at age 12, based on the bio in the back of his book, which Clarke claims to have read.<br /><br />3. From the foregoing, it is clear that Clarke's main problem is a certain mental difficulty, and it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that National Health Service have not been able to find a remedy for it. It would seem a grievous misallocation of scarce resources to try to give Clarke a brain transplant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
