The problem in tying Mouch to Jesse Jackson is that no one - not even my liberal neighbors - take Jesse Jackson seriously. He is a characterure, plain and simple.
The other problem is that when you worry too much about government intervention, it will happen. If you keep going out and making new things, you can keep ahead of them. Think google, think facebook, think twitter. Trying to control it? walk away from it and build something else. The problem is the characters in Atlas shrugged gave up. They were the weak ones.
The strikers in the book didn’t give up. Did you ever read the book?
