RB,
I believe in capitalism, but capitalism with a heart, which I guess is just as much of an unachieveable utopia as socialism with the people's best interests at heart. There is no utopia this side of heaven. I suppose we just do the best we can and keep fighting against the PTB to keep as much freedom as possible.
You certainly have a point. I guess at this juncture things are accelerating at such a rapid clip that it doesn't matter anymore. I'm mindboggled at the things he's allowed to say. You never would have heard any of this a year ago. Better than nothing, I guess. Hope springs eternal.
