If your reasoning entails (some sort of) a contraidction, check your premises. Hint: define perfection. I do not think anyone can give both a realistic and in human action founded definition. One that does not fit these criteria is Keynes': no scarcity.

"Perfection is tied to a value judgment:subjective. There is no absolute perfection, unless you carefully define what that is-u may find that the world will always BE perfect, no matter what.This is why when the gov't "runs other people's lives-to any extent"-with a minimal perspective(from relatively few people),it cannot compare w/ the infinite perspective of the market:which contains the perspective of all players:people, stars, and earth).Just b/c u can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

blake, I think you missed the point and if I put it in qoutations it would have been clearer. Anyway, that is not the point but it is relevant.

Marly61: you don't really mean this is the free market? do you? Having the government involved in any business isn't free market--that obviously includes bailouts/subsidies/special tax credits/taxes/subsidized, regulatory agencies...

Free M=an example of class warfare in action implemented by the elites regarding the illegal Bailout.Equity deals negotiated with banks represent $250 billion to inject capital in exchange for equity;to address the credit crunch to get banks lending again. The architects of that legislation, said that it violates the act if the money is going to bonuses, dividends, salaries, mergers. we know its going precisely to those purposes. It is going to bonuses, shareholders, it is not going to lending.

im with you, there is no answer to a perfect society because there is a mechanism in the human mind that responds to over population by power curruption and greed and inevitably reduces the population. If everything were perfect for humans than there would be no resources and no room to stand, let alone live.

The enforcement of contracts could be subsidized by individual communities or provided by other credible agencies who uphold contracts: perhaps they coordinate with select credibility ratings providers or insurance companies. The benefit here (as opposed to gov't granted credibility), is that corrupt agencies will become less competitive--so it's in their best interest to remain credible. |
