Lasee quotes to avoid being quotable

If ever one of Franky's puppet-like attempts at individual thought via quotation really hit it on the head, it's this one:

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand."
-Milton Friedman

Like most people who aren't able to conjure up and defend a point themselves, Frank resorts here to summoning the authority of Milton Friedman, a figure whose name people believing that money should be in the hands of the capital like to invoke in response to the argument that deregulation generally screws the working class. Unable, apparently, to come up with a hyperbole as poignant as a sand economy, Franky thought he'd pull the double whammy of bad argumentation. I can see him doing it right now: "If I quote Milton Friedman merely making a ridiculous, bald-faced assertion, then, not only will this blog post contain a ridiculous, bald-faced assertion, it'll also encapsulate my [Ed. note: pathetic] inability to construct even a bad argument on my own!"
