The above paragraph communicates several ideas which I find offensive to be expressed on this list. One, Ted doesn't have any choice about revealing the details of the production of his product. If he chooses to keep these details to himself, he is a villain. Two, he must be careful to not charge too much, or he will also be a villain (maybe each of us should submit our prices to this list for the approval of those who feel they know what we should charge). Three, he must also submit all the details of how he became convinced of the efficacy of his product to these same guardians who will tell us if we've made a mistake. Actually, the tone of the paragraph at the top and the others that preceded it sounds identical to what I've repeatedly heard from representatives of the AMA. Ted shouldn't have to run some kind of gauntlet or pass some screening process before he can participate in this list, nor should he (or anyone else) have to fear being blasted with vituperative sarcasm for his views. We will never be able to conduct any objective, intelligent discussions with those of the AMA persuasion (which we need to do) if all they're going to get is recrimination. Isn't that what we complain about getting from them? A primary principle of free enterprise is that we can charge what ever we want - if it's too much, we will make no sales (provided there is competition). To be condemned for our pricing is silly - the market will take care of that. >>
Terry: I just wanted you to know that I support your views. Living in a capitalist culture ain't easy for many of us. If there's a better system, I'd like to hear about it (off list, of course). The profit motive should be respected not mocked. Thanks. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
