Never said the worst in the world thing, because I don't like that kind of bumper stickerism. But to play the game, name me the system that works better. And not Lichtenstein or somewhere that has friendly neighbors who will be happy to spend blood and treasure to defend them.

You've revisited the "everyone can start a small business" thing. No one is saying that. Well, no one but you. No one is saying the American Dream is a promise. No one but you. The problem is that you see cookie cutter solutions to everything and damn how many people have to suffer to make it happen.

Life isn't fair. Only children believe that it is. And only fools believe fairness can be won at the point of a gun. I know you think when the New Moon on Monday video comes to life, that you'll be one of the head honchos and finally mean something. But "workers" revolts tend to eat their own. Considering that you're pretty much nothing, I figure you're safe.

I sort of doubt that the standard of living improved much from pre- BC until maybe 1100ish. Like I've said many times, your solutions will not work because creativity can't be stifled, no matter how much you want that. It doesn't help your arguement that standards of living have jumped leaps and bounds in the West since the 1800s.

Using your logic we can say Planned Parenthood is a great defender of children's rights.
