As life is privatised, the individual who stands accused of having failed to make it in the market is subjected not only to new heights of intrusive surveillance but also to a veritable theology of damnation. As the late Milton Friedman put it, in Capitalism and Freedom: “The major aim of the liberal is to leave the ethical problem to the individual to wrestle with.”

Well, long story short... there's a local guy running around in political threads from time to time - MDManiac IIRIC, who judging by his views you're likely to consider typical rightist (unless I'm misinformed about political differentiation in US). In eyes of an outsider, if you set aside his ostentatious cynicism, of which I'm guilty too to a certain extent, he's considerably more "in tune" with me on politics, than average VGC'er. Needlees to say I'm a complete "anti-Western paranoic" as per Kaz defenition he gave me recently, so thesis of rightists being stupid has been proved, I guess :D
