I still wish I could debate over again with Milton Friedman the issue of selling off the national parks to private companies. I had that debate with him as a college freshman, and didn't do very well. I would do better now.
You had a debate with Milton Friedman? I must be misunderstanding this...
Nope. Torie went to U. of Chicago back in the day.
His son and I used to get stoned together, and traveled together to a Libertarian convention in Philly. We had a grand time. I knew David, the son, knew more economics than I did at the time, when we discussed sharing car expenses. I said, let's just split the gas, and he said fine, I was just wondering about the issue of car depreciation, maintenance, and so forth. And I looked at him in a kind of wonderment. I thought to myself, you know, there is a
lot I don't know.
