Don't fall for Cal Thomas!

I'm sure the planning community is going apeshit over the August 17 column by Cal Thomas. The inversion of common values/principles versus government created by conservative politics really angers me, especially when it's really about protecting a "free market." It really really bothers me that they draw on the nostalgic image of a community lost to make their point. Don't fall for it! This market being defended is one that is free only to the privileged and powerful.
