I've followed the son for some while (and interesting to see he no longer gets much air time because his message is seen as too depressing), but

I don't understand how there can have been such a dearth of knowledge in our supposed capitalist icons (yeah right).

Any of you on automatic update will have installed this by now - last week for my computer.

I reckon he is kaput.

 I'm trying to draft up a press release, but anyone else in welcome in the meantime ....

Bets on this being published?

I have a huge amount of respect for Lindsay, gained from reading her blog for a long time now. Yes, ACT, but I've always considered her a Libertarian: a freedom lover.

Fantastic seeing him make it through his semi-final.
