_Share the View_ -- _Bloomberg View _

A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for May 4, 2012

_VIRGINIA POSTREL_: Giving eyeglasses to charity may make people feel
generous, but it's a waste. The cost of making recycled glasses usable is
nearly twice that of new glasses. "If they really wanted to help people see,
they'd send money." [Link]

_JONATHAN COHN_ and _DAVID STRAUSS_: The real threat to liberty in the
health care ruling isn't the fantasy "broccoli" law by which the government
could make you eat your vegetables. It's the failure of the health-insurance
market to provide affordable coverage for everyone. "A decision to uphold
the health-insurance mandate would be a powerful defense of liberty in the
modern age." [Link]

_SUSAN ANTILLA_: Wall Street has a "magic formula to keep its transgressions
out of sight" -- mandatory arbitration clauses, which keep disputes away
from public court proceedings. "The more cases we relegate to arbitration,
the more we fail to hold companies accountable for bad behavior." [Link]

_MICHAEL KINSLEY_: Romney's first big mistake of the general election was
driving away Ric Grenell, his openly gay foreign policy spokesman, who quit
after seeing his job shrink when the campaign faced criticism from the
religious right. "If you're going to be a bigot, at least be smart about
it." [Link]

_THE EDITORS_: Corporate governance in the tech industry is slipping. Not
only did Facebook chairman Mark Zuckerberg pay $1 billion for Instagram
without consulting his board, but last year LinkedIn, Zynga and Groupon all
went public with dual-class shares that let their founders trump
shareholders' votes. Last month, Google announced that it would create a
third class of shares with no voting rights. "They may be visionaries . . .
but not all founders make great managers." [Link] And in Argentina, _THE
EDITORS_ write, punishing the country for nationalizing its largest oil
company is a "job best left to the markets." [Link]
