    Call it whatever you want but the fact is that the "free market" means that too much is just enough no matter the consequences.

    I find those who complain about the free market generally are those who have not made a strong effort to succeed in the free market-or are pandering to such people

    I find that you will always change the subject when you can't offer a counter argument.

    you are upset about the free market. I find it great. those who don't do well in a free market tend to not like it. those of us who have, do like it. can you dispute that? You uttered an opinion. I countered with a counter opinion

    Yes, I gave an opinion but I also backed it up with the fact that the free market will always take it to the extreme with no thought of consequences. Somehow, to you, that means that I'm upset. I'm not, I just realize that that's the way of the world. So, yes, I dispute your claim that I didn't do well in it. I did because I understand it.
    I imagine you don't agree that the free market will always take a situation to the extreme.

    I find the potential of government coercion to be a worse possibility

    Apparently you no longer have to be a politician to be politically prosecuted. It is getting scary.

    No, he is smart enough to become a millionaire in business and stupid enough to drag himself and his company into politics. So he is like the rest of us. We all do some things well and others not so well. We aren't all morons.

    Exactly. You have to put "potential" because you don't know whereas I have history to back me up.

    He promised? Or was he ordered to by a judge? I don't know the answer. Just asking.

    Why does the judiciary think that they can find people for disputing things that's all right it's actually the seventh amendment.

    Further the elections are ours not the governments so we should have every right to dispute them and not have to face any fines at all.

    This is fascism plain and simple. We don't like that you challenge us so now you're being punished.

    My wife has had health issues for awhile and we took a chance on his pillows when they first came out, well before - so far as I know - he publicly revealed any of his political views. She swears by these pillows, they really are that good.
