>>>>moral and ethical imperatives As long as the world has places were the masses are uneducated, there will be victims who are economic slaves. No religion, no laws will prevent this. There are always people who take advantage of their power. What is the most efficient way to get the most opportunity to the most people that will give the most the opportunity to better themselves. I believe free markets and free trade give the good people who have power the same ability as the evil people to make money. The good people will follow moral and ethical imperatives to advance the cause of the poor. Restricting free markets and free trade give the evil people an advantage and allows them to maintain the status quo to their priviledged advantage. Evil people will use every loophole or ignore restrictions and have a competitive advantage. Now there are not just Good and Evil people. There is a distribution of people who range from very Good to very evil. Economic invisible forces can move people toward or away from good and evil. If you can't make a living being good, well the alternative is obvious This is a philosophy or set of beliefs about how it really is. I believe my Pope and President Bush think along these lines. tom watson tosiwmee
