"Rafe Champion brings the grafting qualities of the opening batsman and the cunning of the offspin bowler to the task of routing dogmatists, protectionists and other riff-raff who stand in the way of peace, freedom and plenty."

Bravo Rafe!

"Here we find synergy with the Australian School of Economics and the Classical Liberal Agenda."

Can't say I've ever heard of "the Australian" school of economics. Did you perchance mean Austrian?

All of that stuff is of course about unbridled power wrapped up in self-justifying "zen" even "spiritual" psycho-babble.

Beware of anything that comes out of Werner Erhard and his spiritual descendants: his methods were arrogant and abusive as he took delight in humiliating people. Yes, he had large crowds of westerners who paid for his courses because they felt guilty about their lifestyle, so they used those courses as self-inflicted punishment and yes, that was contagious.

The whole concept of wilfully planning a future is sick. The future is none of our business as our duty and only duty is to perform the right actions now - the future is in God's hands, not ours.

Truly, there is one born every minute.
