About a decade ago Milt. Friedman's son posted something like free
trade implies free speech. A wealthy economic conservative snickered
at that lame response and immediately stopped funding Cato.
The Question gets results. It's quite a spectacle to watch outspoken
learned economists cut 'n run like roaches.
Keep popping 'em on their fannies with The Question and sooner or
later _all_ their funding will dry up.
Let's make it sooner!
> they cannot answer it with a straight yes or no.
The professionals know better than to answer it _period_. They prefer
the slow death of a thousand dodges.
This is wise IMO. It allows the younger shills time to start looking
for jobs in the productive sector.

Any poster who threatens to sue posters is full of bs anyway. They
only illegal thing a poster can do is threaten violence which is
considered an "act" and is properly handled by the authorities.
Terrorists ("if I git pushed too far") threaten violence so the
Patriot Act could be used to physically locate them.

Paid shills will simply not touch it. They cannot try the silly word
games popular with the idiots here on newsgroups.
I have Milton Friedman's original handwriting on other matters,
overseas health care, etc., but he would never touch The Question.
BTW, The Question is behind a lot of historical events, why no one ran
against Bill Clinton in '92 or '96, the low interest rates of the
'90s, the federal government shutdown of 1995, why Rove abandoned the
marketry economists in favor of jingoism, why the media were so
desperate to eliminate Hillary Clinton.
Many in the media know what's going on but they "merely omit" the real
stories.
