individualism for the masses!
If you want the government to intervene domestically you're a liberal, if you want the government to intervene abroad you're a conservative, if you want the government to intervene both domestically and abroad you're a moderate, and if you don't want the government to intervene either domestically or abroad you're an extremist.
B.K. Marcus is an amateur political economist with no formal education in the subject. He is a house husband, a faculty spouse, a dilettante, and a layabout. Once upon a time, he made a fair living as a web developer. If you accuse him of being descended from entrenched Establishment Keynesians, he will deny it!
"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."
-- Murray Rothbard

Hi B.K. I like that quote and the cartoon even more. It just so happens I'm taking a seminar on Roman political philosophy right now. I'd love to get the source information on both the quote and the cartoon if you have it. I might put them in my next paper for the class! :D
The cartoon panel is from Bloom County, 27 March 1989.
The Sobran quote I got from Tom Woods's review on LRC of the Neoconned books .
I don't know where it's from. I don't find it on Sobran's website. I do find it quoted everywhere, pretty consistently dated as 1995.
If you learn more, let me know.
That quote, Sobran got from somewhere else. I heard a speech that Paul Gottried gave on mises.org and I hear this familiar voice of Joe Sobran mentioning that quote in a slightly different form he got from somewhere else. I guess you can quickly go to the end of Gottfried's speeches on mises.org to find out exactly who he quoted, because I do not remember.
Good point, G-dog.
