Milton Friedman, great defender of freedom, would have been 100 years old yesterday.  His television series, “Free To Choose” was one of the best things ever shown on public television.  Watching Friedman clips on YouTube is time well spent because he so simply and concisely explains principles of liberty.

This is one of my favorites:

Two Friedman quotes:

“If you put the Federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.”

“Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government.”
