This has nothing to do with free speech, just intellectual honesty. Crime rates in Germany were at all time lows during the late 30s. East Germans have frequently told me that daily life was, in many ways, more desirable under communism. That's all true. But is this the best way to go? No. The disparity that capitalism reveals is a direct reflection of it's inspiration: humans. Humans are greedy no matter how good their intentions. Capitalism turns that fundamentally destructive trait into wealth building, charity, and freedom. Nothing else does that. Therefore nothing else will work for humans. This is why I find it ironic that people into selfish pursuits such as playstations or PhDs would criticize capitalism! How hypocritical is that! "Down with capitalism! Now excuse me while I leave in my Prius, pick up a six pack, and jack into Halo." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:190824 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
