Yeah, I agree (although I'm sure we disagree on the extent.) When I was young I was a hardcore free market libertarian. I think it's a viewpoint for the idealistic, the young, and the stupid. The free market fails way too often. Take something simple like how the free market gave us a bazillion different cell phone chargers. A government regulation made it so now we don't have to deal with that shit. That sort of stuff happens on a much grander scale, as with Monsanto.
