Like an avalanche that [...]
We should be amazed at the wisdom some of our people have acquired in just the last year or so.

Professor Newquist's recent reply to me presents a strong case, but my Keloland colleague seems to see only one side of the question. We agree that people have a right to be protected against defamation and that this right requires that violators be held [...]
Hip-Hop Version of KEYNES vs. HAYEK
