Intelligence from way upstate New York

Steve Horwitz, an economist at St. Lawrence University (where the sons of many a hockey mom matriculate) makes sense, even if it seems like a shout into the void, as he urges lefties to please listen:
Those of us who support free markets are not your enemies right now. The real problem here is the marriage of corporate and state power. That is the corporatism we both oppose. I ask of you only that you consider whether such corporatism isn't the real cause of this mess and that therefore you reconsider whether free markets are the cause and whether increased regulation is the solution.
Read the whole thing.

Slight correction to your otherwise astute observation - we have a hell of a women's hockey team too!

Hey Steve,

Great to see your comment! Since I am just a "lowly" contributor, I will alert our moderator, Doc Paul, so he can make the correction.

I am actually heading out to a screening at Muvico Palace in Boca Raton of "The Third Jihad." Adam Hasner, our state rep, is hosting.
