With some actual social planning (backed up by strong legislation) we could have avoided building huge nightmarish cities. We could have avoided massive deforestation, and pollution of waterways. We could have avoided wiping out millions of free-ranging buffalo on the western plains. And so on.

I was all done in the ceaseless pursuit of money and possessions. That's the "free market economy".

Planning ahead would be a restriction of the free market.

And you guys call that "communism" or some such silly name, but the communists were even less responsible when it came to such planning. They too were seeking supremacy. Over what???

When will we ever learn that we are already okay, just as we are...and that BIGGER and MORE is not necessarily better?
