...this is a better way, please show me how and for whom. As an economics student, I may have a "simplistic faith in the Truth of the market," but if that allows me to have faith in myself and exercise my freedom, then so be it. Maybe I've watched "Braveheart" too many times or have studied and respect the American Revolution too much, but it will be a cold day in hell before I willingly hand over my freedoms of labor, speech, religion and all that other stuff the Bill of Rights says to a government (of Johnsons...
