I'm not saying your opinion comes from an alternate world, I'm saying that your perspective on how the world should work does not fit with how it does work. There is a marked difference.

From my angle, I am not dismissing your view as something from an alternate reality. I respect that you and others believe in this ideal of a free market that takes care of itself and functions well without any regulation.

But history does not support that ideal. That's my take.

==============================

behave any differently than men in business? If not, then why would you prefer the ones that have the direct power (and indeed history) to reduce or eliminate your freedom?
