I initially thought dark pools were some kind of rent-seeking scheme designed to set things up so they could fee the access to it, but I'm starting to believe it's more evil than that -- I'm against anything that takes price discovery information off-line where only the chosen few can see it

The world is not an absolute, there are always shades of gray. During ww2 the general in charge of the manhattan project removed the truth about the price of silver so cyclotrons could be made and not inform the ENEMY (germany) what was going on - do you think this was a wise or stupid decision? If your statement is correct, you are telling me we should have kept things honest and open and let germany and japan discover we were hoarding silver to build a bomb to use against them? Thereby possibly giving them info they could have used to prevent our accumulation of silver and change the outcome of ww2 - hmmm.

Perhaps there are things going on you are not aware of like with the secret manhattan project and some spooks are working to preserve your happiness citizen (snicker)
