why not assign the values of right and wrong based upon their compatibility with capitalism, at least as a point of departure One obvious problem, it wouldn't be democratic. I don't say it would or wouldn't be better... but to begin with, it's surely profoundly 'inefficient', as well as perhaps irrational, to have everyone's vote at least nominally equal and counted <g> So, is it 'right' to make a profit? At someone else's expense? It might be an interesting paper exercise, for more determined brains than mine... I'd mislike living under it, I think.
