"One of the great ironies of modern capitalism is that most people instinctively believe that monopolies are bad for society and are therefore best eliminated. But without them, where would we get the surplus wealth that funds the great private libraries, museums, foundations, parks, and cultural and scientific institutions that take us beyond our workaday lives?" Total, unmitigated, unadulterated bullshit... ======================================================================== ===================== I was thinking that myself but I didn't want to broach the topic. I am not against creating surplus wealth (if you are, please send me whatever you don't need), but there should not be a need to resort to immoral or illegal methods to obtain it. Unfortunately, if only one person works that way (underhandedly), then others must respond in kind to defend/protect themselves. This process continues and eventually will produce society as we know it today. I'm sure Bill has a few words to say about this <g> HALinNY _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
