chimera, I feel as if I am talking to a child. Most of what you say is obvious, so obvious as to not need saying. I certainly agree with you on most of all you say. I was just trying to point you in the right direction for your solution. You have stated the answer yourself but then you continue to whine about it.
If your background is truly as you say (and I am sorry to say I no longer believe you) I can't imagine how you accumulated all that experience without learning basic reasoning ability.
Conversation is over from my perspective. I have said all I intend to say.
I feel I have to say it because I am continually amazed that so many on FR fail to grasp the solution, and evidently can't perceive the obvious based on their rants and subsequent taunts and name-calling. They are bipolar. They see things as one or the other: let greed and profit and making money be the God Of All, or, if you question that, you are somehow a DUer or a liberal or a socialist or a communist or you are advocating "government intervention". I don't know how many times on these threads I have been accused of advocating government intervention in business when I have never said anything of the kind, yet FReepers insist that it is the only way, other than a so-called "free market" with "free" trade (when in fact they don't advocate that at all). I have come to the conclusion that many on FR are simply obsessed with government.
Sorry to see that you slipped in some personal insults. No need for that, really. For a while I thought we might reach some common ground and understanding. Disappointing, unfortunately.
