A. Stop being an anti-intellectual prigg. Double posting to say that is just... pathetic.
B. Claiming the invention of agriculture and plumbing etc.. as being the bounty of some private industry is one of the classic mistakes of analysing history. You take a modern concern and apply it to things which predate the context that you derive your thoughts from.
Necessity and private industry and not one in the same. You seem to want to take all of the nuances of human society and sweep them under the rug and say that some abstract force of human nature guides us ever forward. You can make that argument with faith and religion but not economics, not if you want to be telling as yet anonymous people not to post long arguments.
You are just another pruitan like all the other left wing and right wing ones that see the world as some extreme. Government didnt invent the farmer but it did invent the agency to keep overlording corporations from cheating the man who grew it with his own two hands (the reason that the Canadian Grain Comission was created).
Anyone ever heard of balance? I don't trust government implicitly not do I trust private industry, the difference is that at least there is the appearance of some control over government by those without boatloads of wealth. Its a classic historical pattern. Underregulation, followed by re-regulation, followed by overregulation and on and on. People get greedy, then they get desperate.
But I don't trust 'the market' at all, definitely not with with America's laws and policies.
