Two gallons?

What are they feeding the baby?

(I’d try it in a heartbeat, by the way, in either raw or cultured form.)

And Chile still has it´s good dose of state owned companies(By the way, it also has a single payer health care system), and at least to me it looks like a smart social democracy, not a paradise of Friedmanism.

Perhaps part of it is apprehension over the fact that it’s basically treating a woman like a cow? Something to that effect. Whatever the reason people freak out about it, it has to be pretty healthy, babies drink it by the gallon.

Knapp’s brother Allen said the dog did not try to attack the officer and wasn’t even barking when it was shot.

Neighbors backed up the Knapps’ version of events. But police said the dog was barking viciously and tried to jump the fence toward the officer.

If Knapp’s neighbors were crack whores squatting in a burnt out abandoned house, I’d have to give more credence to … Knapp’s neighbors.

Guess what pigs? You’re getting your asses kicked in the PR battles and you have nobody to blame but yourselves.

yeah, but did he ever try breast milk?

For the last time, Friedman never “backed” Pinochet. He never approved of Pinochet.

Pinochet asked Friedman, then some Friedman acolytes, for advice on economic policy. Friedman gave him some. And Chileans are a hell of a lot better off for it. Friedman has advised governments around the world. He advised Nixon to end the draft (and convinced him). Does that also make Friedman responsible for Watergate?

However, it really doesn’t hit the government officials or the government in the wallet in the slightest.

It hits only the TAXPAYERS in the wallet. If the Culosi family justifiably wins a multi-million dollar judgement, the chief of the police, the county executive, deputy, etc. are not paying one thin dime of their own money.

They are paying a settlement or judgment with the taxpayers money.

And, frequently, because of the extreme length of time litigating, the county officers and police management who were in office during the incident are long gone, either moved on to other jobs, retired, or been elected to higher office.

That provides a built-in defence to the new administrators when the settlement/judgment day comes, who will then chime that they had NOTHING to do with the original claim.

All in all, as Radley Balko’s articles and commentary have shown many, many times, there are NO CONSEQUENCES to the government officials and police for bad acts commited by their underlings. None.

Alas, no. To certain editorialists at WSJ and The Nation, civil liberty, political democracy and respect for human rights is secondary to supporting the side that enforces the “correct” economic ideology by whatever means necessary.

Query: if Cuba were to have a Haiti-size earthquake but suffered substantially less damage than Haiti, would WSJ columnists credit Karl Marx?

The state is not necessary to this value.

That chapter must have been left out of my copy of “Free to Choose.”
