	Yep.  Actually, the Mises Institute, I thought, at one time, was a
lot better than that.  But there has always been a kind of opposition
mentality with regard to Mises and Hayek among their followers.  The Mises
people do not forgive Hayek for "dancing on Mises's grave" by writing a
critique of Mises's "rationalism" in a later foreword to Mises's
SOCIALISM, and they seem to have a bit of a vendetta against those in the
Hayek camp who have moved "leftward" toward hermeneutics, Gadamer, and
others in the interpretive camp.  In the meanwhile, they have moved
hopelessly RIGHTWARD to the Buchanan camp.  In my view... a very sorry
episode... Mises would be turning in his grave at the thought that anyone
would endorse such a protectionist chauvinist as Buchanan.
