Far-seeing P.J. O'Rourke nails it with this one:
"What will destroy our country and us is not the financial crisis but the fact that liberals think the free market is some kind of sect or cult, which conservatives have asked Americans to take on faith. That's not what the free market is. The free market is just a measurement, a device to tell us what people are willing to pay for any given thing at any given moment. The free market is a bathroom scale. You may hate what you see when you step on the scale. "Jeeze, 230 pounds!" But you can't pass a law making yourself weigh 185. Liberals think you can. And voters--all the voters, right up to the tippy-top corner office of Goldman Sachs--think so too."

Very good "Bathroom" analogy Harold! I may have to infuse that into some of my own debates, if you dont mind. I Look forward to following this blog closely moving forward in the era of OBAMA
