“Most problems do not get solved. They get superseded by other concerns.”

“It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic.”

“The greatness of a free-market economy is that it does not depend upon the wisdom of those who happen to be on top at the moment.”
