(...) The fact is Larry a lot of people died because of that action. I have seen so credible report which supports it. But still you pour cold water on it, but yet you are willing to accept the word of a politician on similar issues. Scott A (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Freedom vs. Wellfare
 
(...) Please don't move it to email, Horst. Your contributions have been extremely well thought out and useful and you are now getting to a point that I have been looking for a reasonable way to raise to hear Larry's 'total free market' view on.

  Re: Freedom vs. Wellfare
 
Hello Larry, hello everybody, (...) So the goods you need to be kept alive (in a decent way, I would add) are not rights?
