<I am going to try to say this simply enough so that you can understand as your name seems to fit you. (I keep thinking of the scarecrow's song... "if I only had a brain..." and wondering about the psychology of why you picked that name.)>
I wouldn't expect you to understand humility. It's a characteristic that is entirely lost on you.
<Yes Michael Jordan dominates, but he does it within the rules of the game. And would you enjoy him if there were no other players on the court? The entire NBA is better with Jordan AND the other players. The competition makes him and others even better.>
If you want to stretch this analogy, then THINK LOGICALLY. What WOULD happen if it was solely MJ in the NBA? As another noted on this thread, basketball would get boring quickly. Keep going, now, Mo. What would happen next? Sounds to me like fans (consumers!) would stop coming to the game and the NBA/Bulls/Jordan would go out of business. The market would take care of it. Buyers would exercise the principal of marginal utility and do something else with their dollars. I'm sure if you were in charge, you'd have the FTC/DOJ come in and insist that some pygmies be allowed to play with unlimited fouls and insist that Jordan also shoot at the other basket to keep things fair. Your probably one of those guys who think it's unfair to keep score of kids soccer games, too.
So, now, I'm sure you're delighted that the FTC wants to sue INTC for antitrust violations, too. The details differ, of course, but the principal remains the same. You're convinced that consumers are too stupid to know what they're buying and that they need the government (THE GOVERNMENT!!!) to keep things fair. So, now, we'll have to let poor little Cyrix and AMD hide behind Janet Reno's skirt because they can't compete on the playground.
This Clinton administration is pathetic. |
