| | And as to the remark that money does not buy freedom (or happiness), only responsibility, Weingartner has it all wrong. Responsibility for their lives is what adults embrace with joy and is what allows them to create the goods and services that make them—and their neighbors and country—prosperous. Weingartner, like so many on the Left, worship the infantile as attractive, moral and revolutionary. It is not. There's nothing more pathetic than what Hardenburg would have been had he held to the "ideals" of the revolution: a burned-out baby-boomer living in a sloppy garret, musing for the good ol' days and playing old Hendrix records.
Fantastic. Europe seems to have adopted the "sloppy garret" lifestyle as their ideal, it was nice to see it so well-and-truly trounced. Thanks for the post, Ed.
