FIrst of all, congratulations. This is a well-deserved hire. On the topic of freely available books, it'd be nice if we could get some of the online versions of books by Julian Simon into EPUB format. I'd also love to see the books of Richard Mitchell in a quality EPUB format, but as he's merely a fellow traveler in certain circles it's

Whenever The Skeptical Libertarians are brought up, this line from Rothbard immediately comes to mind: One of the things that strikes a person who first encounters Modal Libertarians is their surpassing rudeness, their overwhelming boorishness, their total lack of manners. It is libertarians, and only libertarians, who will call you up, as a perfect

She didn't measure anything, that's kind of the point. Some study claimed there was an increase in the average worker's productivity since 1968, and with that in mind she made the erroneous assumption that workers at the minimum wage level contributed at least as equally (if not more) to that rise in productivity as other workers in the

[quote user="gotlucky"]Your entire post was uncharitable to everything I had said. In fact, it appears like it was actually a deliberate [sic] misrepresentation.[/quote] Actually it was a pretty accurate representation of what you said, you just said some things that were plain dumb to say.

Wow you went from rational argumentation to overreactive ad hominem in the blink of an eye. Good showing, gotlucky. Seriously, do you take medication of some kind?
