Friedman was critical of Government welfare policies. He said that "Government policies have interfered with the effectiveness of capitalism, a system that has proven to make poor people rich." He went further to say." Present policies to help poor people are making them even poorer." He recommended that we go beyond what Nixon has proposed in reforming the welfare system...
...Stones' performance today is poorer for lack of tension. Brian Jones, the silver in the original Silver Rolling Stones, and the most talented musician in the band, is dead. Only he could fight Richard for control; with Jones gone the music is all Richard's show.

But it didn't change matters for the oppressed people. Instead of the instrument of oppression being a foreign...

Television may show us things we have never seen, sounds we have never heard, faces only imagined and opinions hardly imagined, but it makes its offering stillborn, draining off the wonder or outrage. We are made poorer by its dilating cosmopolitanism...
