I don't equate the so called 'free market' with Freedom. But that's how it's sold to us.

What are we saying about ourselves as a society if we leave everything to be ultimately decided by the free market? Greed/the profit motive is our God. I'm not even religious but you can see where I might go with this argument for the religious folk. I'm all for competition and healthy markets but there are just some things that we as human beings have to step in and monitor. We are venturing back into some pre-depression era philosophies in regard to ownership, regulation and industry oversight. They got a name for a society where corporations are protected more than the individual... fascism



whew that's enough for me, I should stop right there, make my blood pressure go down.

please discuss...
