Well, I suppose since we're halfway there, might as well finish the trip.
But shouldn't it be the other way around? I mean, shouldn't government power in a presumably free society be used to protect its presumably free market rather than to coerce it into allegiance to its regulatory, anti-competitive control? Shouldn't patriotism in a free society be to the people and their institutions rather than to the central government?

at one extreme or
the other. I see just
about everything, ending up between the two extremes.
