ContraCelsum Backup

Dear Reader: Although Google professes to have a policy of free speech, there are now disturbing examples of Google peremptorily shutting down blogs on the Blogger platform espousing views which (presumably) Google wants to censor. Therefore ContraCelsum has set up a mirror blog via WordPress (http://contracelsum.com/). We update the latter weekly. If this site should suddenly go dark, you will find ContraCelsum alive and well at the above address. You may want to bookmark it now (just in case).

Some Things Don't Change

Milton Friedman on New Zealand's Disease

In the light of New Zealand's capitulation to socialist ideology, with almost all political parties trying to outdo the others in showing their commitment to the omni-competent state delivering nirvana, peace, prosperity and well-being to all, we find this thirty year old clip to be priceless.

It shows that we are very, very slow learners in this part of the world.  For all those political parties who range from mild-pink to flaming red, Friedman's words cut to the marrow.
