HOWEVER:
Untrammeled capitalism is evil, period.

You MUST ask yourself if you are climbing over anyone's back to make good.

Unless there is someone here who thinks it is good that little kids work 16 hour days for a pittance in sweat-shops in SE Asia so that Walmart can sell cheap T-shirts?

There are people who would have that happen here, if they could get by with it.

Ebaneezer Scrooge is alive and well today.


Well said and I agree with you 1000%. That's another one of my arguements too. One piece of advice, perpare to be called a "commie" by the free trade, Ayn Rand crowd though, you're gonnaget it. B-) Then again, there are times you do have to slaughter a few sacred cows to get at the truth. Myself, like you, I see capitalism and free markets as a good idea but we must apply Judeo-Christian morally to them.

Love your tagline, myself I've always seen myself as a "Victorian guy trapped in the 21st Century." B-)

I get called a commie all of the time.

Usually by the Free Traitors.


Thank you for the compliment on the tag-line!

:-)
