Karl Marx, I understand, lived a respectable, socially conservative life. Benjamin Franklin, on the other hand, was a notorious libertine who hosted a hellfire club and probably lied about that lightning experiment.

What does this tell you about the value of their ideas, their causes, their leadership?

And isn't Bush being a bit of a hypocrite, refusing to personally support the energy industry by getting all cheap on his ranch?

New :-) Speaking of Marx...
If you didn't see it earlier, there's a nice essay by Hitchens in the April issue of The Atlantic, with some funny anecdotes: "The Revenge of Karl Marx" - http://www.theatlant...904/hitchens-marx

Cheers,
Scott.
