Damn, I have him on my who I'd like to meet on my myspace page... after spending 4 years learning about him, he dies. Ultimate Bummer. One personal

I agree with you wholeheartedly, scott. His book "Capitalism and Freedom" changed by view of economics and the free-market dramatically. I wouldn't consider myself his sycophant (I guess no one would consider himself a sycophant!!), but he has always had my utmost respect. I just watched his discussion of limited government on an old show called "Open Minds"; you can watch it here. The man is sharp, and persuasive.
