   First, you should remember that I was replying to the assertion that
capitalism had "killed millions". Though I would certainly agree that
many lives have been lost in "capitalist" countries, I was trying to
show that overall there has been a growth in population so that the
losses have been greatly overwhelmed by the increases. These increases
have been largely attributable to the advances in technology which
accompany free market transactions.
   As for the game question. No, the game is to create a society where
people can live the fullest lives possible. The society which inhabited
the land which is now encompassed by the USA was kept from growing to a
larger number through periodic starvation and early loss of life. Many
people believe this is not optimum and prefer longer lives and thus
percieve this as being a better and fuller life. The use of a free
market economy seems to have provided this in the opinion of many
people. While some may prefer primarily devoted to the search for food,
others of us prefer more choices.

best wishes, Howard Davis

a reasonable and thoughtful response. i cannot disagree with you, except
to include that it needs to take into account the methods used. it was the
lack of ethic on the white man's part that i part with. but then, how
could it have ever been anything other than what it was, given the same
factors. the crimes still live though, and until we address them; we will,
as a nation, continue to stack crime on top of crime until we criminalize
ourselves and are forced to. maybe we need to have an armeggeddon. i am
beginning to think that social justice is a popular delusion. no rhyme or
reason, just force.

best,

chris

My understanding is that during the period before colonization
native-americans numbered less then five million in the are we now call
the United States. Since that time, the population of this same area has
expanded to over 270 million. This expansion was all under a form of
capitalism. If so many millions lost their lives because of capitalism
and the previous system was preferable in terms of preserving the lives
of the inhabitants then it would seem to me that these figures should be
reversed. What is your explanation for the seeming ability of a
capitalist society to sustain so many more people on the same land mass?

   It seems to me that the greatest con of all times has got to be the
fractional reserve system of banking and its evil off-springs: central
banking and the IMF. This has caused and continues to cause more hard
ship then any other con that I can think of. Through this scheme vast
amounts of money have been transferred and continue to be transferred
from producers to parasites.
   Some might argue that an even greater scam is the social security
system, but most do not have a great enough understanding of its
ramifications to realize the enormity of its harm.
   As for the most despicable business transaction, it is hard to find
anything to compare with government actions as to their ultimate
negative effect. However, there are certainly many transactions which
have had negative effects throughout history. Many believe that the
stock market was purposely crashed in 1929. If this was so, that may be
considered the most dispicable transaction. But even there it would have
had to be a series of transactions. It is hard to really cause a lot of
problems with one transaction, even between major corporations.
