(with apologies to Marginal Revolution for the title)
Yeah, I know it's been a while, but I've been busy. I'll actually be teaching two sections of "economics for the citizen" at Patrick Henry College in the fall.
But that's beside the point.
The reason I'm writing: I'm spending the week of the 4th with my family, in Michigan, doing fireworks. (we are part of a commercial fireworks crew) We're just about to eat breakfast, and my dad walks into the room and starts paying "bounties". On Chipmunks! The bounty is $2.00 a head, paid by my dad, upon the killing (and removal) of every chipmunk. It truly is amazing how the bounty has turned my siblings into vicious chipmunk hunter. Pellet guns, slingshots, bike tires, water buckets - they are rather creative in their destruction.
