"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

He Refused to Shake His Hand

Good for Bryan Caplan. I detest shaking hands. Well, I'm not too fond of most human contact. But this ritual really disturbs me for some reason. If I were really wealthy, I guess I could get away with not shaking hands, like Donald Trump does. But since I'm not I really can't afford to have people think I'm more of a jerk than they already do by refusing to touch their clammy, germ-covered digits.

But a doctor should know better, so I think i'd do the same thing Bryan did.
