June 10, 2005, 3:05pm (report abuse)"Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason."

June 10, 2005, 3:16pm (report abuse)One of the worst fallacies in the field of economics - propagated by Karl Marx and accepted by almost everyone today, including many businessmen - is the notion that the development of monopolies in an inescapable and intrinsic result of the operation of a free, unregulated economy. In fact, the exact opposite is true. It is a free market that makes monopolies impossible...except for the jews who control the banks and the media.
Jefferson
June 11, 2005, 10:05am (report abuse)OK, "Douglas Adams," dead author of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, why don't the dolphins pay their own way, then? Why don't they dip into their dolphin wallets and fund their own protection? Better yet, why don't they come up with the 'intelligence' to protect themselves? I suspect that it's actually environmental do-gooders who are being "protected" by this bill more than dolphins.

...for me and my friends.

June 13, 2005, 12:17pm (report abuse)Markets aren't perfect. They're just better than any alternative.

Government by the people, for the people......hmmm, that seems like a pretty good alternative. That's what we strived for in Cuba, but the Americans f**ked us. Jefferson, you all don't play fair. You create things like "corporations" and "markets" and "policy" and animate them and give them identity and forget about people.
