Because Jody doesn't like un-updated journals, so, like jemma before me, here is some good old journal bashing.

First of all, we have a totally awesome excerpt from the book i'm reading. This is what you've all been waiting for, i can tell. And Yes, it features Peter Singer tearing the shit out of Adam Smith and his 200-year-old-piece-of-shit

Hold a tic, Singer was agreeing with Smith's assertion- but his attack on the conclusion doesn't really follow on logically. Adam Smith believed that the free market was a necessity for societal progress which was stunted by Mercantilism.
Smith was a philosopher as well as an Economist, and like a lot of philosophers his work has been wildly misinterpreted.Without The Theory of Moral Sentiments he can seem like a heartless bastard.Still, Peter Singer is a clever man with many important things to say.

you can't talk tait - i've seen you down at the discothèque laughing it up with your chums at dead baby jokes. For shame.

I'm fine with baby killing.Death is a superior condition to unending suffering.
