What's that old Arabic

heretical saying that Dostoevsky was fond of stating `if god does not

exist everything is permitted'?

Ian Murray

Joan Robinson, in Economic Philosophy, had the last word on this:

"This has to be one of the most stupid things ever written.

Whether or not god exists, it still would not be permitted

to drive on the right in London or to drive on the left

in Paris."

=============

Methinks she'd reconsider her position --not on the path dependency of driving standards, but on US militarism and how to stop it under current geopolitics-- on the statement.
