Spoken like a true "liberal" Amos!.....virtuous Capitalism my arse!
The ethos is totally wrong, and as an economic system it's been used to herd people into a life of economic slavery to the machine.
"Liberals" don't want change, they want to tinker with what we have; and all the while the system becomes less sustainable.

"They have become comfortable on the train, and although the tracks will stop in a mile or two, they think it is unreasonable to contemplate alighting from the train and carrying on on foot"

A change to far Amos??
