    You're all forgetting something ... the visuals of ground track below 3,000 feet is way better than above 3,000 feet. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Show me how Capitalism is making 80% of the world dirt poor. Oh you are confused? It is the dominant global economic practise which has existed for a couple of centuries now - most people are still living in poverty. You can still advocate capitalism and reconcile this fact. It takes a degree of calusness but it isn't a hard thing to do. The tongue in cheek point is that the original hypothesis is stupid and consumer choice has absolutely nothing to do with the fundamental problems of the world economic, social or other wise. You're blaming Capitalism instead of politics, culture, religion, ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I think we have to look beyond the negative connotations associated with greed. After all, Bill Gates is greedy but Bill Gates has also globally enhanced healthcare and reduced extreme poverty, locally expanded educational opportunities and access to information technology, and employed along with entertained millions. Greed, a selfish and excessive desire for more of something than is needed. How much of anything is needed? Is having more of something than is needed bad? I don't think greed is bad. I think how you obtain something (regardless of if it's more than needed) is what determines good and bad ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Don't think the world can be as binary as you might like it to be. American consumers are a product of the market and society they grew up in. One influences the other. There are societies that put less emphasis on "stuff". Those societies are generally derided by Americans who, if I may generalize for a second, tend to think their way of life is the only correct way of life. I don't think the world is binary at all. You're right, big consumers are "products" of their society just like small consumers are "products" of their society. The thing is that Capitalism requires responsible consumers regardless if it's based in a society with more or less emphasis on "stuff". "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Problem is, the majority is all high and mighty until it hits their pocket book...then they are cheap. So the problem isn't Capitalism, it's consumers, it's us ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    A company will replace a company... you have a firm grasp of this Capitalism stuff. Yes, if there is a void it will be filled. That is a firm grasp of Capitalism in action ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    The problem isn't capitalism. The problem is individuals continuing to purchase products from companies they complain about ... Stop purchasing the products and the companies eventually won't have enough money to stay in business and another company or companies can take their place. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    at least it's functional I don't understand the point of neck ties. Really, what function do they possibly serve. I've been wearing a neck tie every day this year and have determined the purpose ... they get you noticed. Aloha! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    There is also another flame point in my post...can you find it? Nevermind Normis...Butters found it. Thanks for not addressing the issue though...thats what I thought you'd do...that's all you do. Address what issue? That religious individuals persecuted individuals that stated the Earth revolved around the Sun ... Again...that reading comprehension problem. ...tsk, tsk, tsk... btw, why don't you blame me for slavery to because I'm white. You're on a roll! Because blaming any race for slavery would show a lack of knowledge in regards to history. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
