Well Chuck, as usual I respect and admire your analysis and what not over this speech and issue. However, I found that the best part of his speech was when he said something (and I'm not quoting, but pretty close) to along the lines of "It shouldn't be if Government is too big or too small, but if it's working", or something. If a completely free market where everyone and anyone could run wild while still keeping most the people..(or even a very small percentage of the people) happy is nearly impossible at this point. How well did it work out with Monopolies? I think where the real irony comes in is at two places:
1) I think the most important thing above a free market and free economy and all that good stuff is free choice. The majority of people voted or Barack Obama, that is what the majority of this nation wanted... not McCain, not Ron Paul, but Obama. So are you going to argue with people's opinions and say that for them to be more happy and free, they must go against what they feel in their own hearts is correct? I do not think the Democratic way is correct, nor the Republican way. The Libertarian view (theoretically, although i haven't seen it in play) seems to be the best fit for government, however most people do not believe this would work in reality. Whether it theoretically would work or not is a toss up, but I don't think we can logically question and insult people who exercised the most important right in the history of the world, because somehow we know more about what they want and need than they do.

and

2) well.... actually I forgot number 2 (or never really had number 2)

That is all

Bye Bye
