Well I'm for protecting the physical country, the economic country, and providing the infrastructure to enable the freedom to prosper. 2 weeks ago, I'd have said that the market rules all, but I'm now doing a 180. I've always been a proponent of a "well regulated" market, but "well" meant illegal or not. What I've learned is that that is not sufficient to protect the economy from meltdown and has created a monster bailout situation wherein the massively stupid (on the top and bottom of the economic scale) are going to get bailed out by the rest of us that did things right. And our only other choice would be let those massively stupid people drag us down with them. Thus we need enough regulation to protect us from bailing out the stupid which is going to mean limiting the market. The same argument goes for healthcare: consumer directed healthcare will cover 80%, but 20% (the stupid, unlucky, and unfortunate) will need help. And out only 2 choices are to provide the help or lose our medical freedom altogether. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:264473 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
