Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Suggesting Google as a source of evidence about complicity in murder is beyond ridiculous. Trying to tie Friedman's views about privatization to the abominations in Chile is simply an act of desperation. Only the terminally naive or the hopelessly deluded could fall for these pathetic and despicable tactics.

Five minutes of research with GOOGLE will tell a person all one needs to know about the complicity of Friedman and his Chicago Boys in the Pinochet regime. For Friedman, author of _Capitalism and Freedom_, freedom was another word for nothing left... unsold. And that is why Pinochet's Chile, with laissez-faire capitalism built on a foundation of blood, was the laboratory for trying out Friedman's various ideas, including schooling privatized through vouchers. An inconvenient truth for the likes of Mr. Burke, but a truth nonetheless. -----Original Message----- From: leoecasey@optonline.net To: arn-l@interversity.org Sent: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 6:44 PM Subject: [arn-l] Sheman Dorn as an advocate of the Business Roundtable? That has to be one of the poorest excuses for an answer to an intellectual challenge I have seen in a long, long time. _____________________________________________________________ I saw a worse one in here not too long ago. Someone asserted that Milton Friedman was complicit in murder in Chile. When challenged for evidence, he offered the examples of Gauleiters in Nazi Germany and the reports of "disinterested" writers. Now, how lame is that?
