Milton Friedman is a tree hugging pot head. I hate liberals like Milton Friedman.

William Buckley is a hippie freak that wants to sell dope to your kids. I hate liberals like William Buckley.

What a bunch of losers Buckley and Friedman are. They are just a bunch of dope addicts hiding behind principles like “small government” and “individual liberty”. Nobody here believes in those concepts anymore anyway.

I think we should bring back alcohol prohibition. It worked so well the first time.

Hi Milton. I met you 20 years ago, and told you about my college Econometrics computer model. My model back in 1986 showed that the US GDP would be 0 by 1998. We laughed and you explained that my computer was not plugged in.

You may be gone, but you are not forgotten by people like me who you influenced.

"What most people really object to when they object to a free market is that it is so hard for them to shape it to their own will. The market gives people what the people want instead of what other people think they ought to want. At the bottom of many criticisms of the market economy is really lack of belief in freedom itself. The essence of political freedom is the absence of coercion of one man by his fellow men. The fundamental danger to political freedom is the concentration of power. The existence of a large measure of power in the hands of a relatively few individuals enables them to use it to coerce their fellow men. Preservation of freedom requires either the elimination of power where that is possible, or its dispersal where it cannot be eliminated. It essentially requires a system of checks and balances, like that explicitly incorporated in our Constitution..."

-- Milton Friedman, The New Liberal's Creed: Individual Freedom, Preserving Dissent Are Ultimate Goals," May 18, 1961
