"In general Dr. Friedmans views are contrary to the status quo of government involvement in daily life. In fact, at the time the series was first aired it was given poor time slots by station managers that did not want it broadcast, and the program was even banned in France. Despite this suppression, the series went on to become a smash success leading to the best selling non-fiction book of 1980 and a follow-up series in 1990."

I read that from the site that Trendal posted. I just reposted it. I don't have an offical signed document from the French government from back in 1980, and I don't expect to find one. I don't have any proof one way or the other, and I won't expend any energy arguing with you. As far as you are concerned, this conversation is over.

Tao, you should read the book. I have only watched one so far, these things take awhile to download. Books are a better medium for in-depth analysis.

Trendal, thanks for your help.

and the program was even banned in France

And you believe this throwaway line without even trying to confirm whether it's true or not?

I don't have any proof one way or the other

No shit.

Books are a better medium for in-depth analysis.


Do you give the claims in the book as much "in-depth analysis" as you gave the claim about him being "banned in France"?

As far as you are concerned, this conversation is over.

You should now go immediately now and read my manifesto while you are still in this receptive state.

I did read your manifesto, when you first posted it, and I already agree with pretty much everything you said in it :wink:

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

He said, the economic race should not be arranged so that everyone ends at the finish line at the same time, but so that everyone starts at the starting line at the same time. Wow! I would like to write that one home to Austria. He said, that society that puts equality before freedom winds up with neither, but that society puts freedom before equality, we will end up with a great measure of both. Boy, if I would have come up with that one myself, I maybe wouldn't have had to get into body building.

Friedman is a very intellectually capable man, I must agree with the T-100
