I used to take on the free market junkies (that are a dime a dozen, it seems, in the US mainland) I met online, but I don't bother anymore.  They utter the most incredible garbage and then clam up like a ...[can't say it] when challenged.  Then they just don't listen, but repeat the mantra....  Depressing.

Solution?  Go into the yard with a pick-axe and start planting fruit trees (talk about putting frustration to good use!).  At this rate, pretty soon I'm going to have a commercial size orchard in my back yard.

You watch the TV series "Deadwood" which is excellently supported by it's own website, with complete plot synopses. It's about the establishment of a 10k population wild city after a huge gold strike in Indian territory (no law) and it's growth to annexation, with the conflicts between human greed animals getting there.

Highly recommended, searing honesty, and yes, they actually talked like that. Get the series DVDs, and watch the Director's explanation.

Amazing evolutionary sociology.
