Fairweather Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Economic freedom depends upon the state for its existence, although Friedman economic theory is based on the contrary and false premise that free markets exist in the absence of the state and the legal framework and distributions it provides. The American system provides a state that depends upon the people, and through the state the people have opportunity to provide an economic framework whereby individuals are at once empowered and protected. (Not just protected.) Friedman theory, your theory, posits that capitalism is the prime mover of liberty. We disagree with you, and we will continue to press forward with the time tested notion that democracy is our key to freedom, and that it's by democracy that we must determine our way, rather than surrender to unrestrained capitalism and the cancerous outcomes it invariably presents. Who are "we"? A clarification is in order. Quote
prole Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP! I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO LEGALLY BUY CUBAN SMOKES AND VISIT SOME PRISTINE CARIBEAN BEACHES, DRINK MOJITOS AND ENJOY THE PARADE OF MAMACITAS WALKING BY. "Si Senor, benivenidos to Applebee's, your neighborhood bar and grill. Uno Mojito coming up!" Quote

prole Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 As a beisbol fan, I'm pretty excited about the possible influx of Cuban talent into the majors. A couple of hotshots that played in the World Baseball Classic come to mind. Quote
