This gingerbread housing crisis happened because the government forced the mortgage companies to make bad loaves, and not because of a lack of baking regulations.

Anyone who believes all natural rights are rooted in the acquisition of property and protected by the free market can justify slavery, remember that. There is no libertarian answer to the question of slavery, Nozick tried and failed and he is the grand daddy of all libertarianism.

It would be nice if some of them actually knew what Marxism - maybe even Post-Marxists like Zizek - stand for, instead of blaming them for the problems of Social Democracies, Authoritarian Regimes or failed Liberal policies. All of which have nothing to do with Marxism.

I salute you, sir. I'm at a much smaller school and their exposure to actual Muslim and Jewish students who, surprise surprise, worry about exams and their boy/girlfriends and get mad at their parents, well that accomplishes a lot. I have an assignment in which they have to take information about prejudices and look up several hate sites and apply that knowledge. Talk about eye openers.

<i>a bunch of “year in review” articles.</i>

Or, even worse, a bunch of "decade in review" articles. We can all get mad a Chimpy & Co. all over again. And hear from the wingnutz how he kept the country safe and danger-free forever. Well, except for that big 9/11 fuck up thingy.
