“I liked your comment. Here is
something I had written earlier that I would like to share. It kind
of fits in with what you are saying.
It should not surprise anyone when unbridled capitalism leads to its down fall. A slave governed by the laws against animal cruelty would have it better than the laborer in the throws of unbridled capitalism will have it. This is becoming evident with the on set of global labor competition with out any global regulation. I do not see any way to prevented this from happening. You can start out with good intentions by regulating the capitalist, but as they gain money and power they will begin to make their own rules and regulations by controlling the minds of the people through the ownership of the news media. Even the father of capitalism, Adam Smith, warned of this. (URLen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Smith ). Through out history the rich get richer and the poor get poorer until the rich are over thrown, and at the same time causing a set back to mankind. Ask yourself, are we really making any progress.?”

“Yes!
Have you heard of the Chilean economist Manfred Max-Neef? He explains
to us how progress does not have to mean growth but development.

“I can not thank you enough for that
link. My vocabulary and writing skill are not great enough to convey
how much that touched me! It is so great to find another, so on the
same wave length, with the ability to get it across. I will try very
hard to get others to watch that video clip, and I will read his
books. Thank you again!!!!”
