As Frederic Bastiat observed long ago, there are only two means by which people can gain values from one another: Either by trade or free exchange, or by plunder.
The real problem begins once parties realise they can legalise plunder, and then live off it…

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
