well since i will not be using this account anymore, my few exchanges with KFL re: money-IS-power etc etc must end; as KFL has mentioned, i dont think we got too far on this particular digression; however we did agree that money IS in fact, power, . KFL ,however, does not agree that this implies power over people; he maintains that the very organization which HE 'vilifies', viz. guvmint, has made the abuses of wealth illegal, therfore they wont occur, or they are susceptible of remedy through the legal system etc etc... that line of reasoning is just more byzantium to me! I just can't help but leave this exchange with the feeling that KFL's position is not consistent (and i am sure he feels the same about my position) Oh well... ...to maintain that the power of the state should be limited, but that the power of wealth should not, is to invite plutocracy, not freedom. .....AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.... ......did he ever return? no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned, he may ride for ever 'neath the streets of boston, he's the man who never returned!...................................EOX -------
