Hi Harold:
Just some personal thoughts: :o)
The essence of capitalism is indeed good, and is perhaps even a required
tool for man to thrive in a material world.
However, capitalism would be much better off without credit card
companies - I don't mean without a credit system - considering the fraud
they represent by being able to 'advance' money they merely create or
obtain out of thin air. The evils of fractional reserve are what come
to mind.
As for the government counting votes...errrmm...ummm....actually, when
was the last time the government seriously considered counting votes
without rigging them? ;)

or MasterCard will have it counted to the penny. And the government
can't even count the votes in Florida."
