[MD] Reductionism

[John Carl]

Ron,
Perhaps you are right.  It's hard for me to see all your points because I
don't have this negative history with Platt's comments that you and others
express with such distaste.

You say "it's as if" about Platt's arguments.  Regardless of "as if", I
would like to dig down to find out "what is" Platt's real problem with
voluntary collectivism.

I mean, other than getting picked last in sandlot games as an 11 year old.
