Hi Carl,

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. :)

It seems that the myths about laisse faire and supply-and-demand are just that in modern crony capitalism. Myths. With corporate parasites feeding off both producers and consumers and adding essentially no value in between.

Rather like the pathetic health care system in the U.S. where the proposal is to replace an efficient government program of Medicare with a 2% administrative burden and replace it with a kludgy private system with 30% overheads. And they sell this to the public as progress! Getting government off of people's backs. What a riot that the public actually tends to believe this fairy tale.

When my friends call me cynical [and they do], I'm going to send them to you and Raymond. <s>.

We'll see what happens in the case of the US.
