[e2e] It's all my fault

[David P. Reed]

Adam Thierer is hardly an unbiased expert.  Cato is like Cheney - it 
hires people to prove what they already take on faith.  Thierer has one 
point of view among many - one that starts with the idea that private 
property is the core of goodness.

That said, I have been called an anarcho-libertarian among many other 
names.  Unfortunately for Cato, my view of liberty is closer to that of 
Hayek and the ACLU.
