Let's face it the idea of capitalism has run it's course it only worked
when other people were unaware they were being taken advantage of.

Drink that in. Don't have to answer all at once.

LOL!

And on THAT note, it's definitely time to go. If you're suggesting that
some other economic system other than enlightened self-interest (the bulwark
of Adam Smith's pre-capitalist philosophies) is going to do better, then I
gotta scoot.

Socialism, perhaps?

No, the problem is with capitalism is not capitalism itself, but
multi-national corporatocracy and the 90-day stock market cycle which
undercuts the fabric of competition. Just as the problem with democracy is
not democracy itself, but instead the power of corporate lobbying which
we've seen so blatantly exposed in the last year or so with the attempted
passage of so many amnesty bills despite the clear disapproval of 80% of the
country.

Anyway, gotta run - it's getting political in here <grin>.
