| Reganism not Reganomics  All corporations love Reganism and are in the two year old child mode. Mine, Mine, all Mine. Remember Regan's speech that advocated eliminating all regulation of big business. The last thing big business wants is government telling them what they can and cannot do. Much corporate lobbying effort goes to make sure any laws or regulations that are put into effect have enough holes in them to allow corporate lawyers to drive a truck through. What I recommend citizens do for those CEO's and Lawmakers that advocate no regulation is to send them to Somalia where there is no government to get in the way and then report back how wonderful it is not to have to worry about government officials, like the police to protect them from thugs. Get mugged by a thug and call the police. Get mugged by your ISP and you are screwed because the TOS agreement gives the ISP the right to change the TOS agreement at any time and require the subscriber to go through binding arbitration which is biased in favor of the ISP as their only recourse. All network neutrality regulation will do is to protect citizens from broadband ISP thugs. |

Well, thats an excellent example of free market, but if I were a CEO, I would know what to do in Somalia. Machine guns, poison gas, nets, well poisoning, and man sized rat trap with jugs of water on them. Then we take the game we hunted onto trucks, and take them to a rendering plant to turn into pet food and biodiesel. Free market all the way!
Law enforcement is irrelavent when I drive around in a convoy with autocannons and MANPADs on my SUVs.

Unfortunately, chain guns are the product of military spending, not a "free market." The chances of you getting a GMC (the product of social regulation and bailouts), a chain gun, and belted ammunition would be highly dependent upon your connections to civilized governments.
For sure, if you had that kind of money and connections, your Qat-chewing private Somalian militia would hold you for far more ransom than the $20 a month you pay them.
That's a "free market."
