O (http://testingmiltonfriedman.com/where.php)h you kids and your torrentz might be able to find it online, but the rest of us should search our local PBS stations to watch it. I'm watching it now, and it's very good. Walter Williams and Matthew Ygelsias, plus two other academics.

Liberals are asses. Seriously, this liberal just defended the $600k taxi medallion system.

Thanks for the heads up bro but I couldn't find it. I would love to see this. If only the government hadn't taken down the site Demonoid, I bet I could have gotten it there.

This isn't Free To Choose. This is a panel of current pundits (Walter Williams was in this edition) discussing Friedman's philosophy. I have only seen the first episode, and while it wasn't anything mind-blowing, it was a good discussion.

I'll keep an eye out - if they replay it I'll DVR it, then maybe someone can teach me how to torrent it.

Here's a snicker, from one of my Republican Facebook friends:
PBS is airing a show on Milton Friedman. It includes a panel: Two guys for University of Chicago, one from Harvard and the fourth from University of California. Bet that's going to be a balanced discussion. NOT--I kept surfing...

Heh. I explained the error in her logic. Hey - it's an easy mistake to make. Chicago and conservative don't tend to go together. But she got 5 Likes. :(

Too bad I don't get TV signal. I'll have to look for it online.

They aired it on my local PBS station. I think have the second two episodes on my DVR (I'm a DVR noob) but no idea how to turn them into a torrent. If I had purchased it, I would happily share. It's PBS - you already paid for it.

Do you know how to put the dvr recordings on your computer's hard drive? That would be a start. I could torrent it if you could just get the videos to me. That would be great. I really want to see this debate between Walter Williams and Matt Yglesias. Not a hardcore Milton Friedman fan as I prefer the Austrian school but it's still nice to see debates about free markets in general.
