this sharp today at 38. Man that was a great interview!

I was particularly interested in his discussion about school vouchers as I am trying to deal with a lot of stupidity on that front right now.

and changed my major from Chemistry to Economics.

He was a major influence on my life. Along with Buckley, Reagan, Murry Rothbard, Russel Kirk, and a few others.

But we should not look backwards, although we might stand on the shoulders of giants, we should take their ideas and move forward, adapting them to a new age.

I've been having with openly socialist in-law on a family/friends mail list. When I gave him my signature line, he agreed that socialism has always failed when it's been tried, but gave the standard line that it failed because of the corruption caused by our current system. The guy is VERY intelligent, but was raised in a latin american country and attended a school run by the French. He's going to take some work, but I think I'll convert him eventually.

I've been trying to explain why I believe so vehemently in free markets and have been using many of Milton's ideas (though I am an imperfect messenger). A little more re-enforcement like this interview helps greatly.

Socialism doesn't work. It looks nice on paper, but it's been tried and it's failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).
