Obama vs. The Invisible Hand

Who is the wiser?

Barack Obama, 2010:
Ask yourselves what you can do for America. Ask yourselves what you can do to hire American workers, to support the American economy, and to invest in this nation.
Adam Smith, 1776:
By pursuing his own interest he [the business person] frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good.

Someone didn't like my Net Neutrality story, takes aim at my hair

Me in 3rd grade, 1974, and me today. By gosh, Kevin is right!
Move over, Dave Rye of X10. A worse insult I have just received! Apparently, Kevin Gumm (don't know the guy) disagrees with my old story on Net Neutrality, in which I suggest the government need not interfere with our well-oiled Web.
He writes:
I just read your editorial on Net Neutrality that Ii found on my keyboard this morning.

That was just the most retarded piece I think you and your 5th grade boy circa 1983 haircut have ever written.

I am embarrassed for you.

You should ask a grown up about Net Neutrality and turn off Fox.

Fuck you,

Kevin [Gumm]
I strenuously object to Kevin's use of the "R" word. He needs to review the video below. I do agree, however, that I need a new hairdo.
