Questions
---
--Is it a proper function of government to impose dress codes on bank customers in order to deter robbers? (Via CrimProf Blog.)
--Another from CrimProf Blog: "Prison pink as punishment"?
--What is the point of expanding Medicare if doctors can't afford to accept it? (Via Kevin, M.D., who adds, "you can't practice medicine if you go bankrupt.")
--Should an apartment building be permitted to refuse to rent to a prospective tenant solely because he has a tattoo? (Via Fark.)
--A special guest question: "Do we have 5 Great Powers, based on nuclear weapons, or 12, based on GDP?" (To which I'll append another question: Shouldn't GDP per capita count too? Who can seriously suggest that India (relatively high GDP, but relatively low GDP per capita) is now or might soon be an economic "Great Power"?)
