That's the easy out, Gruss! You can't rely on The Market to take care of people. Sorry, but you can't. Anarchy sounds peachy on paper, but has some kinks (related to dumb folk) "outside". There is a quote about heroes, and how evolution is against them, since they're always putting themselves in situations that could get them creamed. Heh, creamed. Anyways- I don't buy this "it's the natural evolution" of the Free Market, or Capitalizm, that will save the day. We've seen how we're not ready, as a culture, for true anarchy. True anarchy takes everyone playing, and that's just not in the cards as yet. Bah. enough philosophizzing- sorry. My point is that we need some oversight, and that is the hard part to agree on-- how much, where, etc.. Saying that we shouldn't have rules, and we should let "nature" take it's course, is just kinda silly, as it seems to be a non-answer, much like saying "what would really be swell, is if we could live without laws", which of course would be, but is a bit hard to implement. To actually suggest it as a true solution, shows a lack of understanding of the myriad complexities we are dealing with. I know above, you say "more", and not "all"-- do you feel that the market alone should dictate, or are you just glossing over how it should be regulated? If it's the first, that is silly!, if it's the latter- how, and where? Seems like your favorite answer is "A Free Market", but that's not really an answer. It's already free, see.
