Or you're just disagreeing with it cause I posted it. :D It is a fairly right wing magazine, The Economist, you know.

Naw, you and I have found very little to disagree on lately.  We need to improve our efforts in that regard.  :D

As for the Economist it used to be a fairly staunch defender of classical liberal thought but the last couple of years I have noticed less of a determined defence.  I wonder if there was a change in editor or something.

Maybe they forced him out in an effort to create a brand that can actually win an election before the opposition forces an election.
