But that doesn't mean that I am wrong. Miltie was a libertarian of sorts (like Paddy McG is a libertarian these days) and so am I, but somehow we are different kind of libertarians I suppose. I tend to agree with "melanie" on Quiggin's blog or with one of Miltie's students, Greg Palast. <BR/><BR/>Also, Quiggin is a professor of economics so you guys probably have some sort of non-disparagement rule like doctors and barristers.

Please read it and rethink. <BR/><BR/>MF was a great mind who had enormous impact around the world. He was a great defender of the freedom that we all value. You are an argumentative son-of-a-bitch but he would argue the socks off even you.hchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799594181016858701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22031270.post-1163925102171450882006-11-19T19:31:00.000+11:002006-11-19T19:31:00.000+11:00Next time I'm in Chicago I'll do little dance on h...Next time I'm in Chicago I'll do little dance on his grave.
