Klaus - excellent analogy. May I borrow it for a hockey use? I think it would inform my current discussions on hockey forums concerning head hits in the NHL.

In fact, I want to just borrow it to have on hand because it's an elegant way to explain risk mitigation and unintended consequence.

I loved this for so many reasons. 1) hockey 2) your explanation of types of regimes 3) the seeming randomness of topics that in fact make total sense to me.

Looking at this through a sports rule lens is pretty brilliant because it forces us to think through consequences devoid of the emotional and intellectual baggage around the topic you’re really getting at: free speech.

So you’re from the southwest? Me too! Grew up in LA, my grandparents lived in Albuquerque, had cousins in Arizona. I feel the same as you about Mexican culture. It’s not *my* culture but it’s also not some foreign unknowable thing. Just like I didn’t grow up Jewish but I had a good friend who was Jewish so her holidays and rituals weren’t an alien occurrence. I didn’t realize you were Jewish. Cool!

Also how do you feel about Auston Matthews?
