Your ideas are much clearer to me than they were before, and this time i
actually agreed with 90% of what you had to argument, the remaining 10%, i
don't value high enough to keep argueing them for arguments sake.

Sometimes ideas only make a system work, when combined with other ideas. I
wasn't sure about which other ideas, you intended to combine with the ones
you already mentioned. Even if i had read Friedman and Hayek, i'm sure i
would have asked some of the same questions, in a less naive way probably,
but still political 'basics' leave a lot of room for individual differences.

I will start reading 'the basics'.

I'm sorry my reaction is so short, but i have the flu, and a fever that is
frying my brain. I will catch up with the rest of list as soon as my
temperature is down...
