—"Wow! A practical libertarian think tank -- the West Coast needs one."
-- Jonathan Bean, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Independent Institute, also President of the Illinois Association of Scholars
— "[PI has] an attractive site with valuable information clearly presented. It's Cato with an edge." -- James Hirsen, syndicated columnist
—"I looked at the site, and it certainly seems to be an institution I should support. I particularly approve of your goal of encouraging civil but serious debate in which libertarian ideas face up to socialism and nationalism, left and right. Enough mindless shouting, already!" -- Deirdre McCloskey
—"Took a quick look and liked most of what I saw. Keep up the good work!" -- Dr. Mary J. Ruwart, author of Healing Our World
—"Nice, I agree almost 100% with your policy platforms." -- Dr. Joseph Pomykala, Towson University, Association of Financial Economists
—"One of my favorite think tanks ." -- "Wolfeman," Plano, TX
—"Brilliant. First sane article on the subject ever on Fark." -- Alex, New York, NY
—"I live for pieces like this." -- Richard Lorenc, getliberty.org
—"Good stuff from the Prometheus Institute." -- Tom Elia, The New Editor
—"Matt Harrison over at the Prometheus Institute has a great article titled "Little Green Reasoning: Five Points on Environmentalism". If you get the chance, read his reasoning and the full article." - Blog, bureaucrash.com
—"In reality, this price boost [in gas prices] could be something the American people really need. It forces us to conserve, drive less, and force development of alternative fuel. Even just being less dependent on foreign oil changes many economic worries. Matt Harrison of the Prometheus Institute makes all these points. People are concerned, yes (below), but we really need to take a step back and ask ourselves if all this worrying and complaining is worth it." -- Andy Otto, thoughtpress
...from the Haters...
—"You guys should change your names to The Epimetheus Institute. You're an afterthought at best." -- anonymous
—"This Prometheus Institute seems to be showing up on reddit quite a bit lately. They look to be a bunch of frat boy douche bags to me." -- anonymous, reddit.com
—"I'd basically like to raise a middle finger to these folks. Their main argument boils down to "Don't be so libertarian! Don't be so capitalist! Trust the state! Freedom needs restraint!" To which I can heartily say, go fuck yourselves."
-- anonymous doctrinaire libertarian
"The Prometheus Institute needs to stick to doing what it does well which is... uh.. whatever they do. Masturbate to idols of Ayn Rand, I suppose." -- anonymous, fark.com
—"I find this disturbing that people can think this way." - Kim, Farmington, ME
—"I think Prometheus Institute is a poor name for this organization. Prometheus was a titan who provided knowledge to the people, whereas these guys just provide their one-sided opinions and justify them using generalizations. The Harpy Institute is a better characterization." -- Judan
—"Basically, you are a group of left wing extremist liberals in disguise, and as such I'll leave you to your elitism and idiocy." -- Scott Malcolm, 38
—"Why don't they move back to Europe?? Oh yeah, 'cuz they kicked your asses out for being the retarded, self-serving, whiny little selfish bastards you were and still are. Bunch whining [sic] pu**y Bushbots rationalizing their self serving agendas..." -- anonymous, Austin, TX
—"Contains grains of truth, presented by jerks." - Randolph, Philadelphia, PA
—"The Prometheus Institute thinks very highly of themselves, and very little of everyone else. They clearly don't write to advance the debate, they just seem more interested in smearing half the debaters. In essence, PI seems to need a little more think, and a little less tank." anonymous, OH
—"Wow, what a moran." [sic] -- anonymous
—"It's like an ouroboros of patheticness." -- Justin, NY
—"Were these the same people who thought that Ebonics was a real? [sic] Sorry, talking like a douchebag no matter your race is just annoying." -- anonymous
"Bold statements, boys. Since you're into Greek mythology, perhaps you should have taken heed of this saying, "Those the gods would destroy they first blind with pride. " Or to put it another way, "self praise stinks." From what I saw of your web site, you do make some good points. But you're far from the world beaters you imagine yourselves to be. So sober up and learn some humility, lest you be taken not for Prometheus but just for some loud-mouth, sophomoric shit-heads trying to get attention." -- Peter Skurkiss
—"The article wasn't really an article, it was one long ad for how great the Prometheus Institute is, written, not surprisingly, by the Prometheus Institute." -- anonymous, reddit.com
"Your article is ahistorical and cheap propoganda. The apparent bigotry is quite amusing. But what is really sad is that the writer of the article is stunted by hatred. I would like to know where these Islamic countries are, as these very same countries were known as democratic and communists, not too long ago." -- A. Johnstone
—"F*ck that. The author of this article hereby gets a big biatchslap. *sets slapping machine on perpetual*" -- William, WA
—"Libertarian claptrap, oh boy. I quit reading once "leftists" were mentioned. Free marketeers are only marginally less silly than Christianist/Dominionist Right. They exhibit the same pathology, simply exchange God with the Free Market™." -- Eric, St. Louis, MO
—"I'm still laughing at Harrison's last greenlight where he claimed to be smarter than Warren Buffett. This time he states: As much as I hate to finally admit that global warming may be a reality, I am still smarter than Al Gore." How does this little punk keep filling up on such toxic hubris? Even the very name, Prometheus Institute, screams "Little Man Syndrome"." -- anonymous
—"I just want to yell at the submitter for giving me something to waste five good minutes of my life reading." - anonymous, Harrisonburg, PA
—"And Orange County? Yech. It really is grotesque. The vicious faux intellectual pinhead who wrote this article is representative. OC is the home of Bob "B1 Bob" Dornan and Randall "Duke" Cunningham, for example." -- anonymous
