    A true thinker

    Milton was not afraid to use his intellect to serve the greater good rather than get lost in the liberal spinmasters web.

    Lucklily countries far and wide are utilizing his mind even after his death.

    Go look at Eastern europe, Ireland, etc and you will see his ideas benefiting the country as a whole and raising their standard of living.

    —Peter
