JB,
I have an idea, a serious one. Since Friedman doesn't want to argue at the moment, let me pretend to be Friedman. I will defend all of Friedman's positions, and I will attack all of yours. I will answer every question as best I can. No evasions. None. I will vigorously defend everything from the Russian Revolution to the Chilukki figure, from The Terror to doing sprints and routes at the same variant. This will be mad fun. I will even imitate his writing style. Now I'm getting excited. You have to let me do this. Please. Please. Please. You and Nicely Nicely spent 21 years in Ragozin's office. I have never been east of Denver. This is the perfect opportunity to make all your points against what is certain to be feeble opposition. Everyone will learn from the exchange. What do you say?
