"The present political necessity ought to be of no concern for the economic scientist. I strongly feel, as I will not cease repeating, that the chief task of the economic theorist or political philosopher should be to operate on public opinion to make politically possible [in the future] what may be politically impossible today."
~ F.A. Hayek

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.
