Christine -- I don't care to defend or attack the CATO -- their arguments and positions should be judged strictly on merit. I gotta tell you -- living in a world under the sway of a "lofty group of intellectuals seeking the absolute truth," is a pretty scary idea for me. Kind of like an elitist religion thing.

Regardless of its funding, it has produced many thoughtful pieces that challenge the very hands that feed it. I certainly do not agree with every piece that it publishes. No more than I agree with everything coming out of The Concord Coalition (http://www.concordcoalition.com) or what I read at turnleft.com or from Greenpeace or in the New York Times editorials or in Salon--all of which I check regularly. My comment had nothing to do with my own personal politics. Unlike some people on this thread, I do have an open mind and am willing to explore and consider many points of view. I still think that the swipe at the Cato Institute was no more necessary to the point of the posting than would be a swipe at Greenpeace, even in light of some of the more bizarre antics we have seen. I meant no insult; I meant the comment constructively. However, the latter part of your posting is quite insulting toward me.

Isn't Cato the sidekick of the Green Hornet? (Long live Bruce Lee!)
