Thanks. The state of our antitrust enforcement is a good example of how far corporations and their politicians have turned back the clock.

Not a legal perspective, but doesn't social conscience vary by societal group and even vary among members within the group? To further this line of thought, consider that society's groups are not mutually exclusive when it comes to membership.
