So to your way of thinking, the only valid economic decision on earth is one based purely on price/value? There's never a time when morality or patriotism should enter into a purchasing decision. Do I understand you correctly?

No your comprehension skills are severely lacking . What I am saying is that you may consider your moral views as much as you want in making a decision BUT IT IS SELF EVIDENT THAT IT WILL THEN NO LONGER BE AN ECONOMIC DECISION (There is nothing wrong with that as long as you do so voluntarily). You are free to make a patriotic non-economic decision if you feel like it( such as when you buy badges to support our troops) - what you will have to concede then is that you are not buying these things purely for self interest ( as our economic system is based on). IT IS BETTER TO HONESTLY ACCEPT THAT WE ARE MAKING A WILFUL NON-ECONOMIC DECISON BECAUSE OUR CONSCIENCE OUTWEIGHS PURE PROFIT RATHER THEN DELUDE OURSELVES INTO SOMEHOW JUSTIFYING ALL EMOTIONAL DECISONS AS BEING BETTER TO OUR BOTTOM LINE.
