Right. And calling belief in freedom an abyss is not silly? If there is one single cause for human progress, it is our propensity to trade with each other for personal profit. (Indeed, that's exactly what we do at Silk-list as well, trading our time and insights, such as they are, for the far greater insight we get from others.) Yet somehow clamping down on this propensity is considered 'progressive' and people who support the freedom to trade, along with all others, are disparaged. I don't get it. -- Amit Varma http://www.indiauncut.com
