1) yes as bureaucrats are people- the market really has no morals as you know.2)Your thought is as repugnant and insulting as any I've seen spouted by you and chances are again you know this. Don't question my faith or insinuate that I lack morals. Check your Glenn Beck babble at the door, you only cover yourself in shit rather than any moral rightness by your words.

Considering those rights of which you speak emanated from less centralized government and not more centralized government, I would think that small government, which really means decentralized government, would be supported by the left if they'd vanquish their desire to create preferential systems that treat individuals differently based wholly on perceived differences.

Triplespeak or circular logic, take your pick or is it that simple to you?

What "feeding frenzy?" Just about everyone is materiallly better off than they once were in the United States. BTW, the SC Citizen United decision is also applicable to groups on the left. Why arbitrarily limit any group of individuals from expressing their political interests based only on the organization's structure?
I defer to Dave's example.
Obama is putting a medal on Bob Dylan. That was nice. Of course, Bob doesn't speak.

Blowin' in the Wind alone deserves the Medal of Freedom.
