I FINALLY found that video of him and Brian Boitano trying to direct a skating rink and failing to demonstrate the fallacy of central planning.
Very interesting demonstration.

I also like how he commented on spontaneous order, and the worship people have of politicians.

I bet he would've been successful if he were alowed to shoot people that dissented from his instructions.

Finally found it?  Why didn't you just ask me?  I could have gotten it for you any time.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...
