A retraction:

I took Brad to task on the causal relation between rent review and
the lack of affordable rental accomodation, because of something that
was in the Globa and Mail which said that the crunch came before
rent controls.  A letter in todays G+M points out that rent controls
were discussed for some long time before they were implemented, and
that the dsicussion and probable implementation of controls could
have had the same kind of effect as the controls themselves.  I think
this point is correct, so although I still disagree with Brad's analysis,
at least it is not ruled out by the facts so far presented.

Magic is just advanced technology ... so is intelligence.  Before computers,
the ability to do arithmetic was proof of intelligence.  What proves
intelligence now?  Obviously, it is what we can do that computers can't.
