A a general rule, if the first result on Google for your name is a link to mugshots.com, you have made some bad decisions. Of course, frivolous ninnies like Alex Tabarrok blame it on excessive parking violations, but there’s a reason no one, including a university, lets guys like Alex Tabarrok have any responsibilities. To paraphrase a commenter there, libertarian chatterboxes can afford the luxury of maintaining an adolescent worldview well into adult life.

For those of us in the real world, a good rule of thumb is to avoid spending time around guys with names like Dreekius Oricko Johnson. His mother would have done better by him if she named him Food Stamp or Government Cheese. At least then he could pass himself off as the child of dope smoking artists. instead he came into this world with a ghetto name and left this life in a ghetto fashion.
