>>>Charles, I don't want to put words in your mouth, And yet you proceed to do that in a quite bizarre way... >>>I believe that is it is, and just maybe you will too if you think about it calmly and logically. Save the condescension for your subordinates. It appears to be you who is refusing to use logic here, Gerry. Perhaps you would do better if you would address the actual points I made. Especially, since I was advocating a competition model. Please act a bit less like a lawyer here. >>>It looks to me like you are throwing out all of classical liberal economics just because the real world doesn't conform to the economic assumptions of perfect competition. <<< One can have no idea what you are talking about here Gerry. I attacked the trade theory and recent pro-MSFT speech of Milton Friedman, icon of the right. I attacked the counter-anti-trust notions of many MSFT posters here, which have no sensible attachment to either left or right. Original conservative theory says competition is good, big power is bad, thus antitrust can be good. Liberal economic theory says that overwhelming private power is bad, consumer choice is good, therefor antitrust is good. So this would have little to do with either true conservatism or true liberalism, not that I am the poster boy for either wing. Cheers, Chaz
