NY Times Op-Ed from David Brooks: “Free-Market Socialism”
Since I don't know how long the NY Times web site is going to keep this posted, or if you would have to have an account there to read it, I am going to repost it here.

Free-Market Socialism
By DAVID BROOKS
Published: January 23, 2012

Unfortunately I heard bassist and second vocalist Devon quit the band.
