I think that came a bit later- but a very valid point. If you look how our govt came down on the side of SO, it was a piss poor way to pay the Russians back for saving the country!
oh it did...it was during the age of the (gasp) ROBBER BARONS!
you know..those guys that built stuff?
You mean the stuff we're still paying for??? You're going to love my next post- Competing Theories of Democracy Lysander Spooner vs Mancur Olson. I've got the flu so I have to lay down between posts!
nope..not that stuff
you're thinking about the robber barons competitors who sucked up to governmnet and got subsidies..which they mostly wasted..which we might still be paying for...
