I taught university-level economics for almost 30 years back when you had to work to get through college. BTW, Game Theory is a mathematical branch of economics that has absolutely nothing to do with playing games on an Xbox.

Also, I was one of those rare breeds who is a staunch conservative and Milton Friedman was my idol. I heard him speak in person on several occasions and was the lucky grad student who got to have dinner with him once. Because of my conservative views, I ate lunch by myself a lot. Still, I learned a lot, and the most valuable lesson is that liberals have no idea why they believe what they do and they are totally incapable of reasoned debate. I used to argue frequently with one Sociology prof and would box her in a corner from which she had no escape. Her response: "Well, that may be but I don't believe it!" Debating a liberal is like talking to a fence post. You'll get equally intelligent answers from both.

That was a joke, son!
