I don't follow what point either of you is trying to
make here. What I said is fundamentally correct, you
can't cloud the issue with somantics. If you can

I don't think you can- restricting free enterprise
only reduces their efficiency. I can't imagine what
you could propose that would replace free enterprise
for the better. Now, if we could figure out a way to
encourage smarter consumers, then we'd have something
to work with.
