>From the Cato Institute web site: Cato's Mission The Cato Institute seeks to broaden the parameters of public policy debate to allow consideration of the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, free markets and peace. Toward that goal, the Institute strives to achieve greater involvement of the intelligent, concerned lay public in questions of policy and the proper role of government. Ronald, thanks for warning us that they "allow consideration of the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, free markets and peace." They must definitely be biased against socialism.
