DISQUS

James: thanks for the link. My subtitle might not make much sense to you, but that's because you're (I assume) American. I am Dutch. Here we do not call progressives 'liberals.' Liberalism here kept its orginal meaning, whereas it changed in America.

Thanks for clearing that up. I wish we had kept the original meanings of the terms here in the U.S. as well, in the sense that "liberal" implies "liberty." That's one reason I tend to use the term "Left" instead.

No problem of course James.

I agree, although I prefer to use the term "progressives."

Sorry for the double comment: good to see that the unfair fairness doctine was rejected.

Michael -- progressive? I'm in favor of progress, but don't see much support for it on the left/liberal/pro-regulation side. If I had a choice, I'd use that label for the free-market/classical liberal side.

I wonder if I am one of those with the colorful blog names?

If you ever wish to discuss the issue, send an email or give a comment. We can always discuss it on the radio show, which you can listen to at http://www.tonykatz.com .

I look forward to the future discussions.
