if they were real capitalists, they'd figure out how to exclude others from access to apples so that those others would have to do some work for free for these monopolizers. of course, following supply & demand are very different from being capitalists: the former usually involves responding to prices in trading one good for another, while the latter involves trying to accumulate wealth & power without limit. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
