Yes, in these thoughts, the voters are despising, sadly I think of me....it is too late. like foul stenched pond scum rising (…)

    [I dedicate this essay to the untold millions who suffered as a result of Milton Friedman’s creation of an intellectual bulwark for economic brutality. On 11/16/06, Friedman died of heart failure, an ironic cause of death for a heartless individual.]
