I appreciate the variety of

I appreciate the variety of guests and points of view you bring Mitch. But, sometimes things can get a little cloudy. While the Libertarian Guys were fun, I don't think you grilled them enough about some things. Sometimes I think Libertarians are the Trojan Horse of wrong wing thought. What's not to like about more freedom, less government, less waste, no war? That's how they lull us on the left. But it's the details that get them. Even Adam Smith knew you couldn't have free markets without some kind over control, a fact all the freemarketeers have conveniently buried. It's been proven those that can control, and manipulate the market won't control themselves. Libertarians also want everything privatized. I would think anybody who's been listening to your programs, and watching the debacle that is our economy would know this doesn't work in the real world. But cozy little funny's and slick answers are just distractions to the mishmash that is Libertarian "thought". Ultimately they are just hip, confused, Republicans. There would be no social safety net, no public schools, and in the words of one of their devotee's, "anything the state can do, private enterprise can do better". yeah, right. Anybody who's worked for any kind of corporation can tell you otherwise.
