Oh, you think you would enjoy owing your soul to the company store? Huh? Did you start typing in the middle of a conversation with someone else? If you were being abused by a monopoly in some way you would be in line to complain. A monopoly is a theoretical economic construct employed by collectivists, statists, and a general variety of left wing fearmongers. Properly working markets - which is to say, those untainted by the clumsy hand of the government - prohibit the rise of monopolies; in fact, only the government can create a true monopoly (i.e., the U.S. Postal Service) via the interventions and tinkering that you and your type favor, by erecting barriers to competition and interfering with private property rights. It's easy to scoff when you're sitting pretty. LOL! Again, what are you talking about? But a smart man would look down the road and try to make sure that they keep sitting pretty. And therein lies the root inspiration of such socialist inventions as antitrust litigation. Bush is destroying our country while you applaud. While I applaud? What am I "applaud[ing]"? That doesn't mean the Dems are any better. But right now a Dems fiscal policy looks conservative compared to Bush's fiscal madness. Conservative, liberal, it's all the same: a fight not over whether the government should be involved, but to what extent: thereafter, miscellaneously trading off personal responsibility, freedom and property rights for questionable degrees of security and central planning. You can keep it. LPS5
