This morning in my History of Economic Thought class we began learning about Milton Friedman. For any of you who actually know who that is, you might be asking, "In a history class?" He died in 2006, and my professor had begun teaching about him while he was still alive, but he has made tremendous contributions to the world of economic thought.
He taught at the University of Chicago, a very conservative school of thought, and was a great arguer. Somebody once said that everyone loves to argue with Milton, as long as he is not there. Anyway, we watched this clip of him arguing for capitalism and free markets, and I loved it. So I am sharing it with all of you. I doubt many of you get involved with these types of discussions, but just in case anyone begins complaining about greed in capitalism, you now an authoritative source to pull from.

Thanksgiving in Rexburg
I just wanted to post some pictures from my Thanksgiving so you can get a feel of how great it was. Enjoy!
My roommate Jordan made us huckleberry pancakes for breakfast, what a guy. I believe that he handpicked these himself in Oregon.
These are a few friends that I spent the day with. We worked on a puzzle (if you can call it work... it was mostly just dabbling) while we watch Lord of the Rings.
The meal was great! We had all kinds of good things to eat. If you look close you can tell that the sparkling cider got a little out of hand...
And this is the view from the apartment that we had dinner at. It was a very beautiful day in Rexburg.
So now that Thanksgiving is over we have begun preparations for Christmas in our apartment. I decided to wrap all of our bedroom doors in wrapping paper. This is Tom Jenkins poking his head through. Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving
If you haven't watched this video on Youtube yet, you gotta see it.
My favorite person is the college age looking guy in the red shirt with shaggy hair. I think he is funny, and I love how they keep going back to him. I also like the big guy that says he is thankful for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I hope you all have a great thanksgiving!
