“The Progressives’ hostility to ownership is neither well-founded nor
consistent. While they have a visceral distaste for private ownership
(and busy themselves taxing, regulating, seizing, and redistributing it),
they have few problems with state ownership. It’s as if men are
devilish with what’s theirs but angelic with what belongs to someone else.”

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
