Opinions will never be reconciled. I'm fairly sure that each and every person writing here is as decent as any other. Extremes of either creed [left or right] are wrong, and destructive. Free enterprise is a healthy concept, as is the "socialisation" of essential public functions, but both concepts stir the propaganga machines of right or left into screeching hyperbole. There is a boundary which separates "freedom" from "licence". We'll never agree just exactly where that boundary is, more's the pity.
