@comcast.net | If the government doesn't step in, who will? We need to have more government involvement with issues that involve the people. Enough with the "less government" bs that worked to get us to this point. | |

I think the name you chose to post with says it all - "anticapitalism". But you need a couple of aliases besides - socialism and fascism. | |

| Re: I hope they don't mess this up Many of us have either demonized or sainted government and private enterprise, depending on political outlook. One needs to realize they are symbiotic and need each other to flourish. The difficulty is determining where to locate that boundary. Your whole post is correct and well written. Thank you. | |

The government has become most of our problems. The government is there to stay outside the sidelines watching in, then when something goes wrong, to continue to stay out watching in to make sure that it self-heals eventually, but that if it does not self-heal (i.e., dies off or grows up), then the government must step in TEMPORARILY to keep our society civil and high class, adjusting things LIGHTLY until it has finished righting the course, and BEFORE it has even finished getting fixed, it should WITHDRAW, stay on the sidelines until it is sure that it is not needed to fix its own mess, then get out of the way again, outside the sidelines, watching in, as needed. "WATCHING IN" is us the people who then activate the government, not NSA and BIG BROTHER watching us.
What we need is less government. Other forums have ample examples of how it has become the source of most our problems. E.g., with our economy, energy, and environment, government forbids nuclear power. Instead it ought to be temporarily kick-starting it! | |

| yeah that's right we should let corporations, especially in oligarchies basically due as they please and have their "customers" constantly being asked to bend over and grab their ankles. No more than ever we need a government to regulate corporations because without doing so, most citizens will get screwed over, while a very small percentage will end up with all the cash and the power. A country that has a huge discrepency betweeen the have and have nots is doomed to failure. A country needs a balance between capitalism and government regulation. | |

Cleveland, OH | i agree with you on that, but giving these companies free reign is also a bad thing. if the gov't gets involved, hopefully they don't fuck it up. | |

It's sad that I actually miss Karl's ultra-left views when he's on vacation and leaves KathrynV in charge. | |
