How do you describe yourself politically, 70Chip?

Friedman is not , you're right. Again I was riffing. Friedman is a disciple of Hayek who I thought the neo-cons revered but according to Wiki, they do not.

I became a conservative in reaction to disco music. I'm thoroughly anti-disco. Seriously, politics is for me a lot like the NFL. I like to root for my team but I've come to realization that it doesn't really affect my life that much, or at least it shouldn't. I think most people understand this instinctively and show it by not paying attention. People always bemoan the apathy of the American people, but I prefer it to the activism that often finds expression in other countries. I think it's actually sophistication in disguise.
