All capitalism does is grow wealth. Does money automatically make people more literate? Nope. Does money automatically lower infant mortality rate? Nope. It's simply the best economic system to grow wealth. > commie? me? Force of nature? Where did I write anything about a forece > of > nature? Hmm.

I have no idea how you or Gruss view other people. Personally, I like to count on myself first, expect nothing from anyone else, and show genuine surprise and gratitude when someone does something for me. As such, for me, the best system is the one that puts the onus on ME to succeed....because I'm much more comfortable counting on myself, than someone else...especially a government. > Just because the ussr failed doesnt mean it cant be done and do note that > it > failed for a bounty of reasons.
