"On laissez faire capitalism... it's an interesting concept, but it's never been tried."

Wow! I actually agree with CarolC!.

I also agree with our small (but vocal) contingent of Brits who are card-carrying members of the Comunist Workers Party. Yes, true Marxism has never been achieved either.

The reason is human nature. Both laissez faire capitalism and true Marxism require "perfect" people who never lie, cheat, steal or act in greed. That means everybody must be "perfect".

It is truely hysterical to think all people will change to "perfect" overnight just because a few people want them to. Absolutely hysterical.
