"as Uncle Miltie pretty much said - greed is inevetable..."

He's right, but marketing greed (via deregulation, etc) isn't the answer.

"Uncle Miltie"... so how'd that free market no government regulation work out lately???

did you not notice the recent economic collapse due to deregulation of banking and derivatives

free market can regulate itself?

good god man, can you say Stuck on Stupid?

Again...is greed good?

SilverSurfer .. Your equating 'greed' with people making decisions in their 'self interest' .. doesn't work ..

One SIMPLE example .. yesterday when i paused inside an intersection before turning right, across the on-coming traffic flow, (you would be turning left), and watched 2 cars come through the amber light (that's legal in NSW) then sat patiently as a TOTAL ASSHOLE THIRD, a DICKHEAD, RUN A RED LIGHT i was acting in my self interest, the other was STUPIDLY AND UNSOCIABLE AND GREEDY.

Your equivalence ..

""greed is inevetable. The "Invisible Hand" of billions of people making trillions
of decisions in their 'self interest' creating a market place of supply and demand"

is just a sleazy, disingenuous debating trick.

Your .. ""Who are these angels who will arrange society for us"? I don't even trust you do to that"

is just more stupid, hogwash.

PS: the asshole who would have totaled himself AND me IF I HAD TAKEN MY
'RIGHT' i'm sure would be into YOUR SO-CALLED FAKE 'FREE' MARKETS, TOO.
