[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 6232380, member: 562352"] I read through it. Here is where I am stuck. What's good for society versus what's good for the individual (more specifically, myself). I feel I can protect myself and navigate any waters. I don't think much of society is concerned with 5 year plans (although Stalin killed 20M people, he was an excellent has creating/executing plans). However, I am suspect of any inclination that the US has a free market. That was gone a long time ago. The only point of contention I have with the author is that he seems to imply that "pushing the limits of nature and turning humans into commodities" is a bad thing. I think it is not. Therefore, I don't, on first reading (to give an honest effort, I'd have to read it atleast twice. Some may call me 'stupid' for this but whatever) have many objections to the article based on the facts presented. Because I align myself with a corporatist perspective (which again, has issues...mainly my inability to show empathy), I don't believe many of the things he claims as bad, are indeed bad. [/QUOTE]
