@petmensan ahaahaha.... 1. I am not a marxist. 2. Krugman is not a marxist. 3. Greenspan IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A MARXIST. 3. You don't know what "marxist" means.

oh, and if you read my post I never said I would "beat" him or ever that I was "right" and he was "wrong." Just that it would be really fun to debate him. You, on the other hand, are a boring dolt who runs around calling everyone who isn't a free-market fundamentalist a "marxist" without knowing what that means...

@dweebieMC Sowell was a Marxist when he was young, it was his major at Harvard, it is unlikely he would have trouble debating an amateur Marxist or that he would bother with such a thing. If he was to bother debating a Marxist I would think it would be someone like Paul Krugman or the traitor Alan Greenspan.

I would love to debate him. I'm on the left, yet appreciate his thoughts, and also do not fall prey to his little distractions like "well oprah gets paid more!" he's smart as hell and would be a fun guy to argue with!
