Does that mean I can call you Daddy?[/quote]
LOL, of course not you idiot. It would make you my brother, or something like that. We’ll call you “It”. Upon further reflection, it must have been a chunk of masticated liberal, instead of a roid. In the lifeboat, they’re always consumed first.
I wish that I had the time to do justice to your interrogation, but this is an uncompensated activity, and therefore must compete as such.
[quote=urbanrealtor]Let me give 2 examples: the fear of manipulation in the Sirius XM merger and nature of telecommunications during the era of Ma Bell. Again, I pose the question: does this fall under your rubric of market manipulation and/or command economy?[/quote]
Anti-competitive activities vis monopolies are rightly curbed by government to protect competition. Ma Bell was rightly broken up, and we see the fruits of that competition in lower prices today. Sat Radio, not so much. I don’t NEED Sat Radio like I do the means of voice comm.
[quote=urbanrealtor]So where do you see the appropriate limit of government control? Where does the “creation of structure” end?[/quote]
Where government tilts the playing field in favor of one competitor over another, or penalizes success and rewards failure.
[quote=urbanrealtor]What would you see as a way to improve the schools?[/quote]
Denude the State School Boards of staff, and bar any member or former member of the NEA from holding office on any school board anywhere. I’d also hang every sitting BOE administrator along with the lawyers tomorrow.

Somewhere between fourteen and twenty-four, your tastes should mature.
In re Bobama’s youth. You miss my point sir. He didn’t grow up here. He doesn’t share the foundational experiences of most Americans; e.g. when called on to lead the pledge of allegiance today, he punted.[/quote]
Uncompensated activity….right. Those of you on the GOP dole need to fess up. Seriously, though, do you people have jobs? I can understand if you are retired or something, riding around on tractors out in Jamul all day and need to come in for a break from the heat, but you guys are at this stuff day and night!
