Not making a profit is dishonest, because the bills do not get paid. Involving government only obscures & obfuscates the obvious. Now, instead of people making intelligent choices on a case-by-case basis, do-gooders determine the one true way in advance, and force compliance (taxes are compulsory). I give myself this reality check: what trick do I do so valuable to persuade farmers to give me food? Edward Abbey said (in Desert Solitaire, I believe - I'm paraphrasing): "I went into the desert, seeking a vision. Three days, no food, little water, blistering heat. Finally, the vision came - that of a magnificent steak dinner. I headed back to town."
