Re: One Libertarian point of view?(Was Re:Legalist It)

As I recall, I said nothing about government.  But since you brought it up,
the difference is that under law, the government is directly accountable to
the people it governs through the election process and the redress of
grievances guaranteed under the Constitution.  Business, and corporations
especially, are accountable to the shareholders.  In fact, under law, a CEO
is required to maximize the shareholders' return on their investment.  To
do otherwise merits a pink slip or a lawsuit.

Oh yes... the sun on my planet is many different colors, but my favorite is
that wonderful pink - orange color during sunrises and sunsets.  We now
return you to our regularly scheduled rant.
