Quote from your first video:
"Look around the world today.....things are most rosey in the places where things are controlled by free enterprise, not in places where things are controlled by the government" I wish Mr. Friedman would list these places where things are rosey and controlled by free enterprise. Because all the countries I can think of where things are "rosey" are countries that have nationalized health care and a large amount of government regulation. But feel free to prove my wrong by listing some countries that don't.

 of course YOU do  Don't believe your opinion, IMO, holds a candle to his as far as his experience and knowledge competes with your display. Meaning, I think you inherently lean socialist, so no matter of "discussion" will change/alter that. Which is fine but the rhetoric is always the same.

If you agree with him, then just list some countries that are fine examples of what he is talking about. There are over 200 countries in the world. Surely you can list a few of them.
If an educated and intelligent person like yourself cannot even think of a few countries that are examples of what he is talking about, then obviously he is full of crap.

No, because I cannot think of any countries which are examples of his theory. Can you? (hint: this is a "yes" or "no" question)
Yet I think think of many examples that are exceptions to his theory. Rather than do the google searches myself, I'll let you do them. There have been plenty of surveys over the years where they measure "happiness index" or other such similar things. Why don't you post a couple links to them and see if they jive with Mr. Friedman's theory. I bet you cannot find a single such survey that even has one country in the top 10 that fits his criteria.

I asked you if you agree with him, and you avoided the question and at the same time seemed to imply that you did agree with him. Do you agree with that statement of his?
