If only those who disapprove of the law display it, then someone who agrees with the words but approves of the law will not display, because their display will lead to an inference that they disapprove of the law. This sustains the equilibrium in which only those who disapprove display. <br /><br />For more on this see Glenn Loury's excellent essay on self-censorship in public discourse, or my conversation with him here:<br /><br /><a href="http://bloggingheads.tv/videos/30467" rel="nofollow">http://bloggingheads.tv/videos/30467</a><br /><br />Jackie, thanks. <br /><br />GBU, that's an interesting example, but there's an important difference: the flag is not meaningful to most locals so doesn't result in a loss of customers.

Perhaps some people believe that freedom is very important, including even the freedom to do things they might disagree with.edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150091053740909530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039434.post-75846602721368007822015-03-29T22:29:14.209-04:002015-03-29T22:29:14.209-04:00Thank you, Rajiv Sethi.
