"Wealth is not a fixed pile that existed before human beings arrived. A field is not food. Iron ore is not a railway. Silicon is not a computer. Human intelligence transforms the material world into values. Production comes before distribution."~ Michael Novak from his 1982 book The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism

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.
