suspend the functioning of free markets. I agree. For example I find it totally unacceptable that the US government is trying to infringe on the functioning of the free market in pharmaceuticals from Canada, or anywhere else for that matter.

re:"Instead, freely functioning markets with individuals acting in their own self-interest have eliminated shortages, and averted doomsday." Like the invasion of Iraq perhaps? Free functioning markets are doing their best right now, we buy more than 50% of our oil on the world market and that's how we are averting a doomsday for the US right now. The scramble for oil is and has already created a number of crises around the world and it will only get worse. Can you hazard a guess, using your rose colored glasses, what will supplant oil...assuming you agree the supply is not limitless?
