Dilbert, you posted a real truth about the economy being better if it becomes "market free". I just wonder, with so many baby boomers and other "average" people investing in it for retirement if we'll ever be "market free" again. The stock market used to be primarily a place for wealthier people to invest. Now it's part of the mainstream, for better or worse. I do think that the bursting of the Nasdaq bubble has let the steam out of the "addiction". I do think that people are starting to realize that Naz 5000 isn't coming back again any time soon.
