Considering the regularity with which kids are shot or shoot others - I can understand where the doc is coming from...

Well done in setting up a strawman by willful misreading... And your version of economics has been shown - REPEATEDLY - to work less well than the...

It is either that, or allow freeloaders to abuse the system. Because there are quite a few freeloaders, who count on (a) the fact that...

True... but the same game has also (and especially) been played concerning crops. Monsanto being one of the primary players in the field, but there...

I think few - and I am definitely not - saying that Jews are not alllowed to live in the Palestinian regions. What I do say is that it is unjustified...

History actually agrees with Smith as well in this part - both past AND present history!
