Since it would have been his 100th birthday yesterday, here’s Milton Friedman taking the argument of a protectionist and chopping it down with the edge of his hand… of argumentation:

The reign of the terrible John James has ended!

Also, watch out for updates to my work in progress Liberty HQ, where I am for now aggregating libertarian articles on a variety of topics to make reference and reading easier:

One more from Friedman:

What?

DAMMIT! I made one! It just didn’t go through moderation! NOOOOOooooo!

Well, at least it wasn’t JJ.

It just didn’t go through moderation! NOOOOOooooo!

Same thing happened here and if someone else made a thread and mine didn’t pass, I’d probably react the same way start throwing things in my house.

Well, at least it wasn’t JJ.

Exactly! EMH confirmed! BOOM!

The numbers are still in his favor -.-

interesting I don’t see anything in the mod forum.

Yours may have been lost in the void

The numbers are still in his favor -.-

This is cheating! The official time is PST; so, you’re three hours ahead.

The official time is PST

I wasn’t aware of that. Why?

Lol, that’s how they boost GDP.

Here’s a very cool article on the Chick-Fil-A story by a buddy’s dean. This is in the New York Times:

Let Chick-fil-A Fly Free

As a gay man, I’m disheartened by statements like Mr. Cathy’s, with their limited conception of what it means to be a family. “Family” is a treasured — I’ll say it, sacred — word in the gay community. Through decades of modern-day oppression, gay men and lesbians have created families against all odds. Love, loyalty, commitment, mutual support: these things are family. They are scarce virtues that our society should do everything in its power to foster.

But that’s my opinion. And a society that truly believes in individual freedom will respect Mr. Cathy’s right to his views. Those who disagree with him are free to boycott Chick-fil-A in protest. But if our elected officials run Chick-fil-A out of town, they are effectively voting for all of us, regardless of our respective beliefs, and eliminating our individual freedoms.

How the hell does it cost $3.40 for a soda? Even if they were buying 2-liters, it’s only $1.19 at the grocery store, and the retail price, not the wholesale price.
