George Will, while writing about the very large, recently discovered, increases in the planet's oil and gas reserves, says, "Such good news horrifies people who relish scarcity because it requires -- or so they say -- government to ration what is scarce and to generally boss people to mend their behavior: 'This is the police!' Put down that incandescent bulb and step away from the lamp!'"
