Ha! Policy, eh? And isn't that the whole "monkey wrench"? Of course if you can do "policy" than, hey, we can make whatever happen. And you're talking subsidy here, neh? I thought subsidy wasn't a part of "pure" capitalism. It's the "pure" capitalism that I have qualms about. Like "pure" socialism. So what I'm refuting is that "capitalism" will inherently worry about things like the ecosystem. Not without, as you say, policies and such. Regulation. And then, Wow. Now were not "capitalists", we're "socialists". Har har har. Guess it's hard to black and white things, but it seems so easy. =] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225957 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
