Quote by: MplsBison  You went beyond just this. You tried to tie this to the natural or "free" market, which is simply not congruent. | Yes. That is just what I did, and asked for those who felt that regulation by a government that got it's marching orders from the consumer was wrong, to explain why they felt this way. My point is that this is completely congruent. My point is that the power behind the regulations (a free and democratically empowered public) is the self-same group that should be driving the market. I asked for you to explain the incongruence that you see. I am asking for you to explain how the public is somehow not the public. I am asking for you to explain , if "I" the voter is not a different entity from "I" the consumer, why "I" should not be allowed to influence the market through my vote. So, go ahead and explain it.
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
