"[The word] 'neo-liberalism' is trotted out as some sort of satanic evil that needs no explanation for its wickedness.
"In fact, its meaning is simple. It refers to the new order of individual economic freedom that began in the 1980s after the disastrous statism was finally dumped and is better described as the [hampered] market economy. People making [more of] their own decisions rather than the left making them for them has produced an unprecedented global prosperity, but is enormously offensive to the we-know-best-what's-good-for-everyone mob. Enjoy their suffering. They deserve no less as they rail away in their bubble worlds to one another about the injustice of people enjoying life without their riding instructions."
~ Bob Jones, from his post 'Political Language Abuse'

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.
