Has the topic of the Illuminati been raised on FW?   Just a brief mention around your question about capitalism, and whether or not there are any circumstances under which it could actually be fair and just:   Acquiring the most money for the least investment always means profits are at the expense of someone else.   Just one tiny aspect of capitalism, that of interest rates acquired on money deposited, is false profit because it is earned on the premise that for every 5 cents--today's bank is allowed to lend out one dollar. This system is based upon the system remaining stable, hardly anyone removing their savings, and the bank being able to re-invest what isn't theirs in the first place. Much like the false value of diamonds; if only 5% of women cashed in or switched to another stone, the industry would be ruined. The image of stability is just that fragile, and money doesn't really grow. Anyone who invests does so at the expense of someone else, eventually. Wages are never commensurate with cost of living, and never with the cost of things they just don't make anymore. Capitalism depends on the enslavement of people to thrive. In a nut shell it is a blatant legalized pyramid scheme. I can't look at this question any way but rhetorically.   What are your views?   Natalia DJB
