You should be leery of people hawking crony capitalism as free-market capitalism. That is the “code” to which you refer . . . you should direct your attention at them, and not the “free-market capitalists.”

I teed off on you the other day for saying this. I shouldn't have. I think you've got a point in there somewhere, but as I said the other day, the Free Market Capitalism of today isn't quite the same as it was 25-30 years ago.

This kid is doing something good, and I should have acknowledged that more than I did.

I thought back on this today while I was out, and wanted to mention it to you.

Stop it. You may make me believe you have a conscience. :)

As for me, I'm involved in capitalist/"anti"-capitalist flamewars nearly every day, it seems. Some of it probably spilled-over from another thread where you were not involved. That, and I'm brusque by nature . . . .
