I don't know, I think it's very much like enforcing the speed limit. That one's all pretty arbitrary too.

Dan,

I really do admire your ability to divert an issue. Let me attempt to put it back on track.

Speed Limit 60, for example, is a clearly defined law. It is indeed, as you noted, very arbitrarily enforced. Two completely different issues.

Anti-trust laws are vague in definition, deliberately so. They give justice officials virtual carte blanche to prosecute any "crimes" they chose against any "criminals" they so designate at their whim (or at the behest of current political winds). Enforcement of such "laws" has to be arbitrary. One day a company is competing legally and the next they have crossed some undefined line and become "monopolistic predators" or some other criminal designation. Everyone in business is a potential criminal at some point if they compete too successfully. This, to me, is Alice in Wonderland.

Regards, JB
