Earlier in the month I started a thread to discuss Andrew Gelman's planned blog entry about voting versus spending. The thread was quickly locked because...
1. NSG still isn't my blog
2. The topic wasn't a conversation starter
I protested the locking to no avail.
Gelman recently posted the entry... $ vs votes... and several of his readers and I have been discussing the topic in the comments.
I suppose this is me asking permission to post a thread on the same topic. And I really hate that I have to do this.
