Mark Littlewood, Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs - a Libertarian Think Tank - has defriended me on Facebook. I think he did not like my constantly harping on about how welfare-dependent women are our main obstacle to rationally small government, especially when I repeatedly urged him to speak up against single mums who are a burden on the state.
But what did I expect anyway? He used to be a member of the LibDems.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
