Economic freedom trumps political freedom

OP-ED: In Fear Of Chinese Democracy, By Harold Meyerson, Washington Post, April 4, 2007; Page A13

A wonderfully pinheaded piece by Meyerson, who hasn't written anything good in years. In it, he displays the typical American manner of defining freedom purely in political terms while ignoring its economic roots. Plus, like most Americans, he wants his revolution now, despite the 750-million or so still living in poverty.

Pick up the pace China! Rich Americans don't see enough chop-chop!

Ask your average American their definition of freedom and they'll pick Starbucks over political pundits any day.

Thanks to Roland Dobbins for sending this.

I did a mini 'brief' for cadets of the Civil Air Patrol last week. I outrageously 'stole' some of your stuff, the 911/airline scheme, "The Way of Horizontal Thinking", "follow the money" and "security comes before FDI".These kids are real sharp to start with, lots go on to Academys. But, Wow did the cadets lights come on! Next week Sub Saharan Africa.

I did give you credit and we will be reviewing the DVD sometime.

Think about PNM stripped into a text book...
