Pat's approach gets more arrogant (offensive) with each iteration,
repeating the conflation of marxism with racism.  Mises = science;
i.e. the Chicago doubts of his method sit right there with racism &
Marxism.  It seems that if you accept one of these theorems, you are
prepared to take on racism & Marxism.  A list like this should be
devoted to a dialogue rather than intolerant fundamentalism.
