"As in, "I am out of ammo. I need to get out of here quickly."

We're on the 628th post in this string, I don't think getting out of here quickly is my objective. I simply have identified you as a person with statist tendencies who looks for his government to protect him from truly fair and, especially, open competition. I am not afraid of such competition. I am worthy of freedom. I accept the risks. I don't think I am talking to someone like that and, frankly, I try to limit my contact with such people.

Rail away if you like but it's not my job to educate you.

You can mis-identify me or others any way you choose, as it is apparently your inclination to proceed and make decisions on the basis of false data and your own pre-conceived notions. You seem to be particularly adept at constructing straw persons, and then knocking them down. Bully for you.

You've taken the amoral stand that money and greed justifies all actions, however remote, without any regulation whatsoever. I don't think you have a clue as to the implications of your economic philosophy, but maybe you should consider Albert Speer. It would seem you and he have a lot in common on the pure economic level. I challenge you to distinguish yourself from him among anything you've stated up to this point.

I am not afraid of such competition.

Oh well bully for you.

I am worthy of freedom.

And bully for you again. (Sheesh.)

I accept the risks.

Bully, bully, bully for you, you, YOU! I think we can get the picture. Allow me to summarize: independent and supremely in command of your awesome powers and recognition of your own vast accomplishments, you really should congratulate yourself. No problems with your self-confidence or ego, I think we can all agree (smile).

Yeah right. Don't let me or anyone else stop you from running away from your own defeats (smile).
