Hi Platt,

Me thinks you're testing me...    I think Capitalism and Socialism are both 
failed 
cliches, neither are today demonstrating high value.  And there are times I 
look 
at politicians, Republican and Democrats, with a desire to see their heads 
roll, 
while I, like Madame DeFarge, knit colorful caps.   

Hi Marsha,

I hope you don't mean that literally. Neither capitalism or socialism is 
perfect. But, as Pirsig affirmed, capitalism is better because its more open to 
DQ and the consequent benefits thereof. Without capitalism, liberty dies.
