: I'd like to know what business has managers take three hour lunches; I'd like to invest in their competitors-- they won't be around too long.

Except that they are out golfing with the big-wigs of the "competition" as they know the value of co-operation. They support the same politicians, dine at the country club together, and cooperate to keep things just as they are.

: I hope not. Just like Enviromentalists-- A few whakos with too much idle time can counter the opinions of millions of sensible working people. Is this democracy?

No, it is activism, as opposed to apathy, which is what you are promoting. Democracy is everyone having an equal say, regardless of the number of dollars in their ledger.

: PREDICTED SOCIALIST RESPONSE: "Wow, I get to choose between thieves!!"
: MY EARLY ANSWER: In your system I have to pay to one thief- the government, or as you like to say "The people", that somehow vote, not by majority, but simply by consensus! Socialism steals from produceres in the true sense of robbery, that is, if you live under the socialism you are coersed to give to "the people", no choice whatsoever.

Funny how you cannot envision a world without some form of institutionalized "thief", basing this on the system you grew up in, and the bogey-man that it painted for you.
