Hey all,

This is the wisest thing you'll hear today:

Milton Friedman on greed (2 min youtube video)

I think the whole 2 minutes is QOTD, but this stands out a bit.


QOTD
"The record of history is absolutely crystal clear... that there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people, that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free-enterprise system."
- Milton Friedman
That video is from the 70's. Here we are some 30+ years later... surrounded by Phil Donahue ninnies and seemingly no Milton Friedman types to counter them.

And dear President Obama, and his supporters, this one's for you.

QOTD2
"Is it really true that politic self-interest is nobler, somehow, than economic self-interest?

You know, I think you're taking a lot of things for granted. Just tell me where in the world you find these angels... who are going to organize society for us."
- Milton Friedman
Dang, it's comfy to be arguing on the side of freedom.
yup... yow, bill
