Shades...Just wanted to note that I agree with you completely as regards regulation. But that is an entirely different matter than simply requiring the players to follow the rules of the game.. tso

<<but look at our history and see what happens when regulation comes in - long term it can be manipulated for evil - you can only fight free market systems for so long before things collapse and we are worse off than when we started.>> I seriously don't know if you mean "regulations" or "following business monopoly laws", but I'm glad that when I get a medicine prescription, I'm getting what the doctor ordered. Without the FDA and other regulatory agencies, its a crap shoot I'm afraid. Who said anything about "fighting free market systems"? I'm just talking about keeping the markets "free, competitive, and I'll even throw in safe" through regulatory laws. Otherwise, enjoy your life in a "free" 3rd world country for a breath of fresh air.
