I read your posts to stave off boredom, but they were interesting. I feel we agree on a few things from what you've stated, and if you realize where I'm coming from you'll see there's some similarities.

Me: "Business in america seems to have no loyalty to america, nor to their employees and consumers. They are so focused on the money and less on delivering their product." (for clarity)
You: "Your comments are exactly what stands in the way of the problem as you see it."

How is that standing in the way of Businesses making shitty products? Is it wrong to expect quality out of business? What is the point in doing business in the first place if you're not receiving what you need? Then it becomes something more akin to stealing. Well sir I'll give you five buffalo nickles for a dollar.

"I believe our primary responsibility in life, as individuals, is to be happy."

How can you be happy with big business fucking everyone over? How can you be happy when there's people in america starving(and elsewhere, as you said), while they have plenty of money. Then when they shaft people out of jobs to move to another so they can pay cheaper wages (so they can have more money to themselves) you say they are helping starving people? Do you think this is a good trend to continue? Do you think it will somehow help the world?

Please tell me how. Is your definition of globalization, then, to make the entire world an upper-low class? Or lower middle-class? Let me ask you a question here, are the wages they are paying to the people in other countries really that good? How much of a decrease is it from our wages?

"I tend to think that capitalism is human nature and that government is it's restirction. I like human nature, when it's healthy."

You seem to want to seperate the government and "Capitalism" when most of the most successful examples of "Capitalism" are currently a part of the government or is sharing close ties. Since when has greed and whatever diseases afflict them been a part of good human nature? Why isn't the government "Restricting" them if in your opinion the Government's responsibility is to restrict human nature(and I'm inclined to say you believe it's to restrict bad human nature)?
I'm not saying it's bad to be able to work towards a good life or to have to earn things, you can't expect to just have things handed to you, but on the same token you can't respect people who make it alot worse than it needs to be.

"you're basically saying that consideration for the weakest of the community is primary over consideration for the individual needs of the strongest producers..."

Do they need their excess billions that bad? Don't you mean want. I know this wasn't directed at me, but I just thought I should throw that out there.

Everything else makes me think that, at core, you are an anarchist.
