Not that I mind it taking place here (until it gets out of hand), but I would really like to see this conversation take place on the Ragozin site. The one time I tried to have a conversation on the subject with Ragozin he said he didn't really want to discuss the nuts and bolts of it, but would show me that my political philosophy was a function of the class I was raised in, which ended the conversation. It was only later that I remembered that Ragozin was the son of a factory owner, and Friedman grew up in Beverly Hills and Scarsdale. I never got to ask him how that worked.
Friedman and I once had a 3 hour political discussion/debate on the train coming back from Delaware Park, and I have to say he was intellectually honest. I don't think people realize how serious he is about this stuff-- he ain't no utopian, and he don't call himself Robespierre for nothing.
