Carter gave Begin and Sadat that buck-toothed grin and peace ensued between Egypt and Israel that has stood for almost half a century. That's not to be taken lightly. Even Carter's most virulent opponents never questioned the man's integrity. Disagree with him 'til the cows come home, but could't not like the guy.

I just don't understand why free markets and respect for civil rights of individuals hasn't caught on South of the border. Seems like if our presidents of the past were so smart, the entire continent would be pretty much free, freedom-loving, safe, and prosperous.

The first classical liberals were products of their time, as are we. They were largely far more repressed about homosexuality. A lot of the good that comes of classical liberalism is inspired by Biblical teachings and there is some Divine Authority that creeps in on random subjects in inappropriate ways. But hey. Bronze-age + Medieval authors will do that to a book. Doesn't mean they're bereft of wisdom or good intention.

Nah. I don't think AOC has enough depth to hold her own in one of these open-ended discussions. Even keeping it civil, I can see Rubin saying "But given the facts, what you just said was incredibly stupid."

The system is corrupt in the extreme. The regulators work for big business.

@bodeandigs : I think we can draw from our religious traditions, but yeah. You really want to win on the facts, and not with a numerological analysis of some 15th-Century scholar's idea of what some 12th-Century monk gave as his best recollection of the story his daddy told him about the words of Saint Peter.

@InVerSemusic93 : I'm more libertarian. I feel that a strong nation that operates on principles of freedom is kind of a necessary evil in a world that mostly doesn't operate that way. Good folks kind of have to band together to preserve that. But if the world mostly operated on principles of individual liberty and civil and especially property rights, then local government to get the snow off the roads would be about as far as government would need to go.
