Ludwig von Mises: "Marx and Engels never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, derided, slandered, and traduced them, and in the use of these methods their followers are not less expert. Their polemic is directed never against the argument of the opponent, but always against his person." - Socialism

It really would have been a bit nicer if the first item on the first page wasn't about the Somali "pirates."  Last I checked (thanks Shane!) they were actually a private counterpart to a navy...that the rest of the world called pirates, because apparently anarchy literally shouldn't even be given a fucking chance.  Because, you know, they're all so certain it won't work, they won't even let it, and instead have to attack it.  Like a creationist attacking evolution.

The part about the molecular puzzles made me think that Marry Poppins was right.
