Bit of a dodge there. What do you think unregulated, unencumbered capitalism is?
If you take the philosophy of freemarkets to an extreme - then isn't the forming of governments and other ruling systems, democratic or not, a consequence of that, and not some mystical outside force?

i think it's interesting that the question of war hasn't been raised once in this thread.

Since then I have realised that voting just validates those in power and if you don't want the whole shebang then you have to do something different. Like spoil your ballot paper or start throwing petrol bombs.
Spoiling the ballot paper achieves jack shit and is infantile. Petrol bombs? Its nice to see you occupying the middle ground TT. |

You could probably buy the whole of Iceland for 50p. Anyone up for buying it and testing out the free market theory? Thought not.

My two penneth: the tree was a great idea, poorly executed; Nick Martin is indeed a massive weapon; I will vote for whoever is likely to win an election over Brown next election; I voted for Blair and am not ashamed.
