Music Banter - The Rest in Peace Thread (RIP)

I'm for restricting the government from having the power to legislate such things in the first place. Free market, completely. No government influence whatsoever.

So does that mean the government wouldn't enforce the law that says they own things? I wouldn't pay my rent if the government wasn't so quick to operate on my landlord's behalf. I'm all for keeping government out of it if that's what you mean. No influence whatsoever. I am so down.

heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe- "That government is best which governs not at all"

That's what happens when business has unfettered control: terrible working conditions, terrible pay, no accountability. Good think you live in a country where you don't have to live through that, or else you might experience some reality.

Not if you murder someone for their money. That's a business in itself.

Almost as if that would change if people stopped wanting to work in those environments, and other companies offered better services.

You think most people in factory positions are there because they want to be? They take it because it's what they can get. Almost as if companies who offered better services didn't do as well in the market because ethics are expensive.

You simply can not be serious. You're just yanking chains. Right?

Stomach turning at the thought that Goof might actually be one of those people who really believe it.
