Calling it what it is - PittsburghLIVE.com

Nice article from the old stomping grounds news paper about the socialist and there resistence to allowing individual indepence. He even invokes the great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises. Hopefully the Burghers are listening, but based on the cities policies, I doubt it.

In 1922's "Socialism," one of Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises' seminal works, he offered that it is the "intellectual leaders of the peoples" who "have produced and propagated the fallacies" of socialism "which are on the point of destroying liberty and Western civilization."

It is "reason and ideas" -- not mythical and magical forces -- that determine the course of human affairs, Professor von Mises reminded. "What is needed to stop the trend toward socialism and despotism is common sense and moral courage."
