<<Please explain something to me: If you create something of value and people freely buy it, why is that being a "robber baron"?>> Well, this is your original quote that elicited my comment, Terrence. I am only saying that it is not whether you create something of value that people will freely buy that defines one as a robber baron, but much more specifically, raping, pillaging, rampantly polluting, or creating a monopoly. I'm not sure why you don't understand the difference. It all makes sense to me!! ;^)
