The Hazards of Confirmation BiasEditor’s Note: Two weeks

ago, we ran Part One of a two part piece on the Hotel Occupancy Tax, with a promise that Part Two would follow seven days later. We broke that commitment in order to run last week’s story about The Scooter Store and its relationship with the City’s 4-B Board, from which the Store received taxpayer money, and which itself is run by a Scooter Store executive.

Prior to that article, we assured you we’d have Part Two of the HOT story for you this week. But we don’t. Because we got some quality hate mail on that Scooter Store piece, and we don’t ever pass up a chance to make our detractors look brain damaged.

Today we’re going to talk about two faces of confirmation bias: Selective interpretation and wishful thinking, and how the latter on my part created an opening for the former to take hold with a small portion of our audience.

Last week, we ran a story about The Scooter Store and its connection to local government that needs to be severed – namely that 4-B President Tim “Tip of the Iceberg” Zipp should remove himself from that position, as he is also a Vice-President at The Scooter Store. (The last 4-B President was also a Scooter Store guy. But I’m sure that’s nothing to worry about.)

The Store has taken in millions of our local sales tax dollars courtesy of 4-B largess over the years, and now owes 4-B a massive refund for not following through on its performance agreements with the City. In other words, the man running 4-B is in charge of both writing checks to, and collecting penalties from, the same company from which he draws a paycheck. To make matters worse, that company is constantly in trouble with Medicare for fraud, and Zipp himself is the man in charge of Medicare compliance for the Store. Fox, meet henhouse.

I hold that this is such an obvious conflict of interest that there should be no doubt of it in anyone’s mind. And that’s where I fell victim to confirmation bias. Seeing what’s obvious, and assuming that 100% of the readers can understand the situation as presented in standard American English, well, those are

two very different things, despite what I would like to believe. Not

everybody can be a rocket scientist. Especially not Tiffany:

“I just want to thank you guys for publishing a story with

half the truth. Your story about The Scooter Store is riveting! I really

enjoyed your stories and what usually is the bold truth, but when you can’t get full story, you publish almost the exact story CBS runs. Now that’s good media there!

Next time you would like to publish a good story, consider both sides. Like how The Scooter Store helps saves the government millions of dollars in long term care because they keep the disabled and elderly out of nursing homes... Or how they employ many of the citizens of New Braunfels and surrounding cities! Why not publish the good that comes of people and companies instead of slanderous accusations? The Scooter Store solely did what CMS told them to do, but thanks for the pseudo-plagiarism...”

Tiffany

That example of an ad hominem attack appeared on our Facebook page at facebook.com/txcitizen. So far there are a couple dozen responses, many of them from Tiffany, and all of hers defending The Scooter Store, not on the basis of the Store’s innocence, but rather because we’re jerks for pointing out that there’s something wrong. But while I did attack the Store’s history of Medicare fraud cases, the story wasn’t really about the Store. It was about Tim Zipp. Tiffany missed the point.

She later scolded other readers for judging the company on what “1 story some small town ‘journalist’ publishes”, completely forgetting that she previously accused us of publishing “almost the exact story CBS runs.” One wonders if she sent hate mail to them as well. Or the Houston-owned Herald-Zeitung. Or KGNB. That would be cool.

As you’ll see on the Facebook thread, she had decided from the get-go that the Store was in the right, and that attacks on the company were illegitimate, despite their merit. A clear case of confirmation bias.

Continued from previous page.

Then there’s “selective interpretation”. We got this one from Rene. The emphasis is ours:

“I applaud your efforts as an ‘investigative reporter’. Unfortunately the culture of corporate America forces many good people to work for bad companies. I think the responsibility of your public voice lost course when you asked your readers to ‘Stand up to those people. Ridicule them. Mock them. Demand their resignations. And don’t ever forget who they are.’

“That is an attack on many people who you do not personally know. I know and have known many good people who at one time have been employed by The Scooter Store and the negative news has followed these people throughout their careers, even as they look for new employment. Your call to action needs to be re-focused on the upper level tiers of this corruption, instead of the generalization of every employee at the Scooter Store.

“I am not denying the existence of corruption. I am asking you to watch your mouth in regards to your ‘call to action’ on those involved. As a fan of your paper I feel you crossed the line on this one and suggest that you make yourself vary hard to find in the event that an innocent TSS employee gets harmed on the back of your words.

You should be ashamed of yourself! Urging people to bully others? Most of these people show up daily to do a job! Just like you do! Shame on you to encourage anyone to ridicule and mock people of our community. It looks like you are fitting in just fine with this city after all. Way to join the heard of ‘New Braunfels Finest’ you sound just like them.”

As you can see, that one’s loaded with tender, juicy morsels to dig into. I didn’t attack Store employees in the piece – I have nothing against them. The story was about Tim Zipp, and the “upper-level tiers of the corruption”, just as Rene insisted it should be. How did he miss that? Worse yet, how did he read it as an attack on the rank-and-file employees? The answer: Because he wanted to. Confirmation bias at work.

My encouragement was to ridicule those that stood up and defended Zipp’s involvement with 4-B. So far, nobody has done that, and in the end I would only expect government officials to be making those statements. Thus the demand that they resign. Rene believes I’m asking Store employees to quit their jobs because they support their company, which doesn’t make sense at any level.

Then of course there’s the threat: “…I feel

you crossed the line on this one and suggest

that you make yourself vary hard to find in

the event that an innocent TSS employee gets

harmed on the back of your words.”

In other words, if my report about The Scooter Store – not KGNB’s, not the Houston-Owned Herald-Zietung, not the San Antonio Express News’ and not CBS News’ – results in the unfair disciplining or firing of a Store employee, that I should make myself “vary” hard to find. Why? Is Rene going to hurt me? I don’t know. I do know that the Police Chief sent me a Christmas card and that Rene closed his post with an insult directed at the NBPD. So I got that going for me.

As for stigmatizing the people that are stealing from us, that’s the best the public can do. Jim Crow laws weren’t repealed until they became an embarrassment to the powers that be. Every last civil rights battle that’s ever been won in this country has started with this precise tactic. It’s an appeal to conscience and an attack on social standing. When the corrupt stop getting invited to weddings and birthdays and ice cream socials, things will begin to change.

We’ll never advocate violence as a solution to this, or any other political problem. We’ll use words. These problems cannot be corrected in the courts or at the ballot box – it’s cultural in this City’s government. These people are very, “vary” powerful, and the only moral weapon we have is language. We can’t take their money, we can’t take their power, but we can get them taken off the social calendar when they line their pockets at our expense. Shame is a powerful motivator. I stand behind it as my weapon of choice.

Besides, it’s funny.

These are 100% legit reviews, right off the Amazon website:

“Someone has answered my gentle prayers and FINALLY designed a pen that I can use all month long! It’s comfortable, leak-proof, non-slip and it makes me feel so feminine and pretty!”

“Ideal for a variety of feminine writing tasks. Ask your husband for some extra pocket money so you can buy one today!”

“I see this comes in a sleek design. But as a ‘full-figured’ woman, do these pens come in ‘curvy and carefree’?”

“OMG. These are like the BEST pens ever! During math class, I used to take notes which was so lame and boring. Now I have 3 notebooks filled with hearts and Mrs. Sarah *insert current crush’s last name here*.”

“Thanks BIC Cristal for Her Ball Pens, for making me the most popular girl in school!”

“The skinny pen fits nicely in my small, never seen a hard days work hands.”

“Before these pens, I, like all others of the fairer sex, were forced to use quills and menstrual blood to do any writing. Now, FINALLY I can use a pen, and don’t need to save my blood in jars.”

“Not sure why a FOR HER pen would have a thin barrel. As a modern woman, my hands prefer to grip something thicker.”

“Thank you so much to the man who made this specialized pen just for women.”

“I bought these pens for the gals last year for Secretary’s Day. I thought it would be a nice gift to show I recognize the broads as women and that their gender is welcome at the workplace.”

“Do I need to provide a photocopy of my Temple Recommend along with my order?”

“The first thing I noticed was how similar this ink was to a more masculine ink. It applied and dried in a very efficient fashion, and was remarkable legible, despite my expectations. “

MUSIC BY BRIAN STRICKLANDBlowin’ Off Steamboat: The Aftermath

From the dust of a conversation on Facebook was born a concept; organize a music festival here at home in the spirit of The Music Fest in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. After a very rapid planning and booking process the Blowin’ Off Steamboat Music Festival arrived less than two weeks after its inception.

Things were already buzzing at Freiheit Country Store early last Saturday morning. Tables were rearranged, outdoor lighting was restrung, things were being put into shape for this event and you could feel the anticipation for things to get rolling. Dave Jorgenson was kind enough to come in early and set up the sound system that he uses on the road, and he literally constructed a wall of sound that we were not expecting for the day. Dave, his lead guitarist Slim and rhythm guitar and vocalist Dawn were kind enough to run the sound all day and they did a fantastic job making everybody sound their best. What follows are capsule reviews of just a few of Saturday’s performances. A complete rundown of all the acts can be found on my blog at musicofnewbraunfels.com.

The first group of musicians, which was Steven Vee, Kori Free, Fallon Franklin and Blake Powers, arrived early and were kind enough to help Dave do sound checks so he could fine tune the sound to Freiheit’s great dance hall. Chris King was scheduled to join the first set at noon but was unable to due to time constraints. When the first set began, Blake, Fallon, Steven and Kori delivered some great songs. Fallon is among alumni of the television show America’s Got Talent, where she reached the top 25 in 2007, and Blake Powers is an accomplished singer and songwriter on his own and joined Fallon (his cousin) to form the singing duo Blake and Fallon in 2002.

They have released four albums together and sometimes perform as Blake and Fallon as well as in a full band named The Boxers. Steven and Kori have played together for several years, and Kori has been playing guitar in public since the age of eight, and it shows! Kori can be seen often playing on a custom cherry sunburst Epiphone Les Paul that was a gift from non-other than her idol Nancy Wilson, whom she met after a few years of playing guitar. She first saw Nancy on an episode of CMT: Crossroads, performing with her sister Ann Wilson in their band Heart. Kori began taking lessons from Steven at the age of seven, and quickly became fluent in blues. Steven retired after a 20 year career with the US Air Force and later worked as a district sales manager for Fender, Inc. Steven writes and performs many styles of music and performs solo, with Kori as a duo and Steve and Kori also perform in a full band known as The Groove Hounds.

Jordan Minor and the Bottom Dollar Band then came in for a full band set and sounded great delivering some of the excellent songs Jordan has written over the years. Jordan’s band consisted of Slim Bawb on lap steel, Court Nance on lead guitar, Stan Little on upright bass and Tony Taylor on drums. Jordan won the “Student Songwriter of the Year” at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 2006, and has gone on to perform in venues such as Gruene Hall and Cheatham Street Warehouse, and has also opened for the likes of Hayes Carll, Bruce Robison, Gurf Morlix, Chris Knight, the Band of Heathens and others.

Kyle Reed, Court Nance, Tony Taylor and Jordan York are four local musicians that not only play in others bands, but also front bands of their own. Kyle Reed recently opened for Guy Clark at Sam’s Burger Joint Music Hall.

Court Nance plays a weekly residency on Monday nights at Tavern in the Gruene, and can often be found at numerous locations playing with other bands or doing his own show. Tony Taylor regularly plays happy hour at Tavern in the Gruene on Friday nights with Claire Cunningham, and like the other guys keeps busy filling in various positions in other bands. Tony can sit in on drums, lead guitar or pretty much any spot in most any band around as he knows the material of most of the local musicians. Jordan York not only plays full-time bass for Seth Candan, but is an amazing singer in his own right.

Walt Wilkins took the stage with just his cool voice and his cool guitar and blew us away with a set that could only be delivered by Walt himself. I’ve heard some great covers of Walt Wilkins tunes by many very talented people, but nobody does it like the man himself. I had a list of songs in my head that I really hoped he’d play, and almost as if he had read my mind, he handed them to us with an energy I’ve seen from him with much larger crowds and a full Mystiqueros band backing him up. Not only is Walt a highly accomplished songwriter, but when he plays that guitar and sings you just get drawn in and you feel the music in your soul. Before his set began he handed me a brand new CD titled Wildcatpie & The Great Walapateya which is an amazing assortment of Walt’s classic, Mystiquero originals and Mystiquero favorites. When this is released you WILL want to buy a copy!

Thank you to all the musicians, to Freiheit Country Store and the TX Citizen for helping make the Inaugural Blowin’ Off Steamboat Music Festival a success!

SOUND TOWNOUTOF

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

10 TX CITIZEN

By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: In 1983 or 1984, I was

walking home from work down Haight

Street in San Francisco one evening

and stopped into Watusi Records to

look through the dollar cutout bin. I

flipped through it for a bit and then

stopped dead when I saw the Jonny

Chingas Pachuco LP. I looked closer,

saw what was written in small print on

the license plate of the car on the cover

(“se me paro”), and went, “Holy crap!

I’ve gotta have this!”

The record (especially the title cut

and “El Corrido del Bato Loco”) was

funnier than hell (and musically not

too bad). A dozen years later, just after

the Internet came in, I ran a search on

AltaVista and got a single result, for

a little indie record company in East

L.A. I wrote to ask them if they had any

more Jonny Chingas recordings and

received a single-sentence reply: “Hey

man, I think the vato’s dead.”

Running a Google search now,

there seems to be no info whatsoever

on who the dude was, other than his

name, Raúl Garcia, which matches the

credits on the original Billionaire LP:

“R. Garcia.” In 200 words or less (to

match your column length), who was

this incredibly funny, talented guy and

what in hell happened to him?

Ye Olde Gabacho

Dear Gabacho: “Se Me Paro”! Literally

translating as “It Stood Up,” but Mexican

Spanish for “I Got Hard”—as in, “My

Chorizo is Ready to Get Into Your Pink Taco”

hard! By the legendary Jonny Chingas, the

Blowfly of Chicano rap! Man, I hadn’t heard

that song—a raunchy doo-wop Spanglish

retelling of a homeboy getting it on with his

heina, complete with moans and mecos—in

years. And I urge everyone to give it a spin,

as it was a rite of passage for all Mexican

men who came of age during the 1990s

to listen to this rola off their cholo cousin’s

Lowrider Magazine Volume 1 CD.

Chingas’ other songs are similarly

hilarious—“El Corrido del Bato Loco”

(“Ballad of a Crazy Vato”), “Yo Quiero Tirar

Chingasos” (“I Want to #### Someone Up”)

and “La Dolencia” (“The Longing”), the most

romantic song about blue balls EVER. But who

was he? Real name Raul Garza, recorded

mainstream Chicano tracks with a bunch

of East L.A. Chicano rock bands during the

1960s and 1970s under the names Raul

Garcia and Ruly Garcia, but achieving

immortality with the Jonny Chingas persona.

J-Vibe of Dragon Mob Records produced

some of Chingas’ last recordings—and, yep,

Chingas is now cruising alongside Jesus in

that dropped ’64 Chevy Impala in the sky.

Finally, sorry for crossing your 200-word

border, but you know how we Mexicans are

with imaginary boundaries…

In what state and city are the cintos

piteados made?

Una Metiche que Quiere Saber si

Sabes Tú Información del Piteado

Dear Nosy Wabette Who Wants to

Know If I Know Information About the Piteado

Technique: You’re referring, of course, to the

belts featuring arabesque designs that are a

staple of hombres from central Mexico. The

most famous city for production is Colotlán,

Jalisco, but the best ones come from Jerez,

Zacatecas—not that I’m biased or anything.

Dear Uncle Esel,I have a relative that is an absolute

nut about showing the world what a liberal she is. It’s not that she’s a liberal as I have several friends that are liberals. My problem is that she goes so out of her way to announce how liberal she is and always has to out-liberal everybody else. Recently she weighed into the gun debate at a small dinner at another relatives home and declared that she did not even want to attend an event if anyone at the event was carrying a concealed handgun. I have been carrying a gun and have been licensed to do so for many years and this dinner was no different. My question is, do I need to be concerned with her wishes? What if the event had been at her house?

Thank You,Pete

Dear Pete,Since you were legally carrying (and not

drinking, I hope) and had not been specifically told you could not by the actual homeowner, you are breaking no law. Uncle Esel is a strong advocate of the 2nd Amendment and the right to carry, but that only applies to public places and places where the public is likely to go, like stores and theaters. The home is a little different. Had you been at the liberal relatives house, you should have the courtesy to comply with her prior ramblings even if you had not been specifically requested to not carry. Of course the other option would be to just not go to her house and be honest about your reasons with her. Be clear though, that once asked to remove yourself or the weapon, you are breaking the law if you don’t comply and can be arrested. Best bet: Leave it in the car, make an appearance and make a hasty retreat.

Love, K

Uncle Esel,Is there a Grammy for best polka?Aufrichtig,Knut

Dear Knut,There was one from 1986 to 2009. The

biggest winners were Jimmy Stur (10) and Walter Ostanek (3). In 2009. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences wised up and the award was discontinued.

Love, K

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM KEN ESEL:

This past week Pauline Phillips, more

commonly known as Dear Abby passed on

to the Advice Column Coffee Shop in the sky.

Of all the advice columns out there, Pauline’s

edgy wit and occasional double entendre were

influences on this Esel. If imitation is truly the

sincerest form of flattery, then Esel along with

countless other advice column writers have

been flatterizing Pauline more than any other

columnist out there. It would even seem that

Pauline had written columns for us here, as in

this one seemingly directed at local officials;

Dear Abby: I have always wanted

to have my family history traced, but I

can’t afford to spend a lot of money to

do it. Have you any suggestions?

— M. J. B. in Oakland, Calif.

Dear M. J. B.: Yes. Run for a public

office.

Today Dear Abby survives, written by

Pauline’s daughter Jeanne Phillips, and it

appears in over 1400 papers with a daily

readership of over 100 million people across

the globe. In an interesting parallel, Pauline

was a bored housewife with journalism training

that decided not to sit around the home all day

playing mah-jongg, not at all unlike the Esel

story. Imagine my shock comparing her story

to mine of just sitting around the house all day

playing Farmville before deciding to embark

on my journalistic road.

In the end, I thank Pauline for paving this

road and making the lucrative advice gig what

it is today. Meanwhile Uncle Esel will remain

in hiding in his home until the advice column

death triumvirate has been fulfilled. If only

Lindsey Lohan wrote a column. Dang it.

Love, K

ADVICE FROM

UNCLE ESEL

Uncle K. Esel is a lifetime resident of our fair city, and is well known for his sage advice on a wide range of topics. If you find yourself perplexed with no one to turn to, send your question to Uncle Esel at: [email protected]. Be sure to write “Question for Uncle Esel” in the subject line of your email.

Est. 1986

Deschutes Brewery - The DissidentAh, Oregon. Land of good beer. Darn near the beer-nerd Mecca, and certainly a place with no shortage of natural beauty (and I’m not just talking about hippie chicks that don’t wear makeup). Why is it that they have cradled themselves into the very heart of the American craft beer scene? Is it, like on the highly accurate IFC show “Portlandia”, because these waxed-mustached, sailor-looking, 1890’s dreamers have a strong need to brew their own beer to further fit that aesthetic? Perhaps more realistically, is it their high value on small-craftsmanship? A single and core example of the (and I am scorn to use this over-used term) hipster mantra: It was better before it got BIG?

Now, you can put down your pitchforks and torches: I’m not comparing anything about loving small scale and local things like beer. Anyone who’s ever gotten into the whole macro- to micro-brew argument with the uninitiated have come to the conclusion that the degree of personality, character, complexity, uniqueness, and many other qualities in a beer is inversely proportional to the size of the potential audience. Compare, if you will, the biggest of the big beers to some

super-small but no less lauded brewers. Anyone with an appreciation of the science of brewing will consistently (and begrudgingly) be wowed by the sheer enormity of an industrial head brewer’s task and how consistently they pull it off, but can clearly side-step the issue of whether or not they deliver a product worth drinking.

Now, I mean that character and audience size is inversely proportional to an extent. There’s definitely a ratio that one can try to keep, and there are only a few that have done this well. Deschutes Brewery has grown and expanded into markets far outreaching other brewers of similar quality and complexity, without compromising on their product. It’s even an interesting point to mention that their wheelhouse beer isn’t some plain regional lager or ale, but is a porter, and a good one at that. But far from their wheelhouse they have a fantastic array of seasonals and specialties and small-release beers as well.

One of them is a particularly highly rated product, and is in no small measure a difficult task to produce. Every year, they release a Flanders-style sour brown ale, or “Oud Bruin”. Not only does it use the highly contagious wild

yeast strain with Brettanomyces, it is very, very slowly fermented over a course of 18 months in deep isolation. It does this partially in Pinot and Cabernet wine barrels, adding to the fruity notes and tang. I should also mention that this particular beer was sampled on tap, from the 2010 release. The bottles came with a “best after” date stamped on them, set about a year from bottling.

It pours a deep burgundy brown, with just a slight head. As soon as you get near this, you can start smelling the sour cherry and lactobacillus scents jettisoned with carbonation. You can also get hints of some red wine grape skin kind of bitterness as well. The first taste you get, the vinegar acidity can give a little electric shock to your system. It’s actually well balanced with the lacto style sour, but takes some getting used to. Then you can just start to unravel notes of stone fruit, cherry, bretty wet straw funk, some hearty oak, and even a little half-sweet half-roasted malty background. This is not only an amazing example of style, but is also an exemplary expression of Deschute’s take on it. This is a unique and hard to make beer, and you can just taste the passion throughout.

Last WordWith Kelly Colby

Hangeditt

They say, “You get what you pay for.” This

axiom fails when applied to government,

though. And thank God for that. Can you

imagine the level of offensive intrusiveness we

could expect from government if our money

was spent efficiently? Nothing would ever get

done by the productive class.

Fortunately, our government (in most

cases, local, state and federal) is full of crooks

and incompetents, less interested in doing

their job than they are in lining their pockets

or snoozing their way to a lavish retirement

package. Certainly there are some who see

their work as a calling and public service, but

they are for the most part hamstrung by the

very bureaucracy they seek to serve. Pages

upon pages or rules, regulations and codes

are stacked between them and any real hope

of making a difference.

Every once in a while, though, the

government and its minions manage to truly

empower themselves, and when that happens,

you can be certain that something will go

horrendously wrong.

This was the case for Aaron Swartz,

a 26-year-old computer entrepreneur, best

known as one of the co-founders of Reddit.

The term “computer-genius” is thrown

around far too freely in our modern world,

but it Swartz’s case it was apt. By 13, Swartz

had won recognition among the internet

community, and by 14 he was helping to

develop software that changed the way we

all use the internet. By 18, he was merging

his own company with Reddit, an innovative,

online social bookmarking and networking

site. Through it all he worked tirelessly

to create an open-access society, where

technological and intellectual ideas could

advance unfettered. His attempts to serve

society in this way did not go unnoticed.

Harvard University made him a fellow at the

Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics in 2011.

On Jan. 11th, Swartz was found in

his Brooklyn apartment where he had

hanged himself.

What could make such a stupendous

success story and shinning light for the future

take his own life? Our Justice Department.

You see, Swartz was under indictment

for hacking (wire fraud and computer fraud

specifically). It wasn’t the sort of hacking you

or I think of when we hear the term, and it

wasn’t fraud by any definition, but those were

the charges he faced.

Swartz gained access to an academic

database (JSTOR) where academic articles

and papers are stored for research purposes.

Swartz downloaded some 4 million of these

papers that he intended to put online so that they

would be available freely to everyone. JSTOR

charges a fee for access to their database and

pays royalties to the publishers of academic

journals. The authors themselves are not

compensated. Swartz felt that “liberating” this

work would make things better for everyone.

He didn’t need them himself. As a Harvard

fellow, he had access to them for free.

JSTOR refused to file civil charges versus

Swartz even though his actions damaged

one of their servers, but the criminal case

was pursued by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz

anyway. In what was clearly an attempt

to encourage a plea bargain, Swartz was

loaded with charges that would, if he were

convicted, win him up to 35 years in prison

and $1 million in fines. A monstrous price to

pay for information that is available at nearly

every college in the country.

Ortiz’s office has since said that they

never threatened maximum sentencing, and

that may be true, but there is no question that

our judicial system encourages its prosecutors

to charge high in order to bargain down.

This leaves defendants facing outrageous

sentences if they refuse to plead guilty. The

benefit to prosecutors is a high conviction

rate, but it is at the cost of the civil rights

of ordinary citizens. Our government can

threaten punishments so onerous that no

normal person can chance facing them.

That’s not justice; it’s blackmail.

There is no question that Aaron Swartz

broke the law. He would have argued that

the law was misguided, but he did break the

law. The idea of intellectual property is often

a difficult one for libertarians like me. People

should be compensated for the things they

create, and a written work or an idea is no

different than a house or a car or a computer

in this regard. We probably do need some

way to enforce property rights that are less

tangible, and right now we hand that power

over to the government. But, Swartz’s intent

was not criminal. He wasn’t attempting

to gain materially. His intent was to be an

activist. He was protesting the idea that

information should be locked away and held

as property, particularly when that property

is not held by its creator.

That argument is one worth having in

our society. We should question whether we

are better served by a system that withholds

information, or one that is open with it. We

should consider the possibility that there

may be some middle ground that is better

for everyone.

What we shouldn’t do is accept a

government that is so focused on the law that it

goes out of its way to bury justice. Aaron Swartz

should have had the opportunity to make his

point, to try to persuade the public. He shouldn’t

have been placed in a position that forced

him to either shut his mouth or be faced with

unreasonable imprisonment. And he certainly

shouldn’t have been hounded to the extent

that he saw suicide as an option preferable to

standing up for what he believed in.

As we consider how best to move our

country forward, let me suggest that this topic

is one that should be on our minds. How can

we reign in our justice system so that people

are punished appropriately, but the innocent

or the harmless aren’t railroaded mercilessly?

The law shouldn’t be used as a means to

enhance the career stats of the people working

in the justice system. Carmen Ortiz should be

ashamed of herself, but until she and others

like her are, we should work to take the power

that they have over us away.
