The most troubling thing for me about the kid in this video is the resemblance he bears to my roommate from college.
With that said though, this is a great example of why I blame Milton Friedman for our current spate of Economic troubles. In this conversation, this geeky kid is trying to explain to Dr. Friedman why corporations should be held morally accountable for the actions they take. This is a similar argument to those currently being made by President Obama and the House leadership about health insurance companies.
And the reason I blame Milton Friedman for our economic troubles is that if he hadn't rudely gone and died at age 96, then there would still be someone around with his clarity of vision, his credibilty and his verbal grace, to explain to the political left why all of their "new" ideas are still just as wrong as they were in the 70's. And then maybe we wouldn't have to go through all of this 'government control' nonsense again.
