...Yes, I have a problem with Krugman and his piece.<br />I must admit I differ from you - I am a Social Democrat and in the past I liked Krugman or tolerated him or occasionally fought him (when he ventured into areas of his ignorance with usual arrogance and area of my expertise (antisemitism, for example).<br />But his stubbornness combined with ignorance and arrogance is irritating.<br />Like you, I don't like anything about Occupy Wall Street (beginning with the name), even though I believe the protests are needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
