      In a way the volume of ad hominems is a good sign. It implies I didn't leave much to refute. http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html

      @paulg You should judge your success by the quality of the best refutations, not the volume of the worst. Truthfulness isn't voted upon.

      @harryh Good point. But it at least means there are no glaring mistakes.

      @paulg "economic inequality is bad and should be eliminated" <-- reduced != eliminated. Very glaring mistake. VERY.

      @harryh A lot of people believe the ideal to aim for is zero inequality. It was the default view of the English left in the 1970s.

          @paulg I don't think it's a common viewpoint in the US today. Certainly not common enough to be especially worth arguing against.

          @harryh @paulg Sorry to interfere, but equality in power is not the same as in economy.

          @paulg @harryh you're ignoring the 1970s mainstream union left that believed in maintaining differentials for members through closed shop
