David Bernstein in The Volokh Conspiracy:

I'll be bold enough to predict that we are at or near (within a few months) of a market top now. And if you don't believe me, my dad sold off his REITs this week!

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Happy Easter.

I've read that NYT Magazine article -- found it on Mark Shea's blog a few years ago. Here's my post on the subject.

I just read this Florida Probate Court decision authorizing the removal of the feeding tube. I guess I would still be happier if a jury had been convened, but it's certainly possible that the Schindlers would have had the right to demand a jury trial, but declined to exercise it. In any case, I can see that due process has been observed.

I'm still concerned that the court is willing to take hearsay evidence as a substitute for a written living will, but I suppose in the absence of a written will that's all one has. Still, I'm sure I have made similar off-the-cuff comments -- either out of a desire to be nice to someone whose relative had just died/been unplugged, or else out of my then-convictions. And I would like to go on record now as EXPLICITLY REVOKING anything I may have said or written previous to this date that might be construed as a living will. (That should hold 'em until I get the papers signed.)

At any rate. It is Easter. "I am the resurrection and the life", said the Lord. There are all sorts of sarcastic things I can say at this point, but I'm trying to avoid that.
