Re: Ecological Economics and Entropy



DLJ says:

>It is of course a lie and a libel to say that Asher or McCarthy
>"present themselves as experts on everything having to do with
>environment and the economy."

I note:

Here's a new one:  along with fiddling with his blinders so that he'll 
see only what he wants to see, dlj is an expert in the law.  Do your 
legal credentials allow you to make such an assessment?  Would you like 
me to post the legal definition of libel for you?  It will only cost you 
$100, payable in advance, but I have it right here in my folder, or we 
can find an internet lawyer.

You continue:
 
>But then it doesn't take an expert in anything,

I interject:

Note this character also thinks he has the ability to decide for the 
professionals what is true and what isn't in some field he knows nothing 
about.

He continues:

> only a certain amount
>of logic and ordinary factual knowledge, to poke holes in the drone
>and moan of the environmental catastrophists.
 
I note:

Judging from your first paragraph I thought you were trying to 
contradict my assertion about Asher and McCarthy, but then you go on to 
illustrate that you yourself have precisely the same attitude, hence you 
are in no position to judge.  In this last paragraph, in fact, you show 
clearly why qualified professionals need not concern themselves with 
right-wing pseudo-prophets.
