I mean all of them. I don't for a minute deny that American democratic capitalism is the best society to yet grace the earth...but I do say it is very far from perfect, I do say it must adapt to changing circumstances along with every other living thing, and I do say that "democratic capitalism" is very far from describing American culture and that many of the things we fight about - such as abortion - have very little to do with those two words. We can be, for example, democratic capitalists whether we are pro-life or pro-abortion.
I gotta crash, but I will respond with my thoughts on your remarks tomorrow sometime. Cheers.
True. We are closer to socialism than capitalism. And many don't realize that. So, when I hear a liberal complaining that capitalism isn't working, I point out that much of what they see as not working is not working because it is no longer capitalism.
For example, we have semi-socialized health care in this country right now. It is very far removed from having real market influence. Yet liberals complain that the problems in health care cost and delivery are the result of capitalism, when in truth, government intervention and control are primarily responsible.
Man's nature is what it is, thus some things can never be "fixed". For our society to improve it must have less micro management, not more. More individual freedom, not less.
