Wait, you're quoting Pinochet as an example of doing things correctly?
You do realise that Pinochet use state resources to carry out his campaign of mass murder?
Surely, by your logic, such atrocities should be carried out by the private sector.

I don't deny his regime was a bunch of Bastards.
Or that they used state resources.
But his privatization and taxation polices were very well pitched in themselves.

Could you not actually bring yourself to type "I was wrong" there?
Is "well anyway" as much as you could manage?

Are you really sixteen? Don't most people's balls drop far enough for them to have the courage to admit mistakes when they're about twelve or thirteen? Christ.
