In Dealing With Blackmailers, We Can Help You, Mr. President

There is another way. We have to get beyond the false dichotomy that these two posts represent. It doesn't have to be the either big oppressive government­, or Lord of the Flies no government where it is everyone for themselves­. We can actually have small, limited government and accountabl­e, self-regul­ated businesses where the profits benefit those who build and create the wealth.



This is the Third Way that Noble Prize Economist Elinor Ostrom talks about. JNarragase­tt is right that there is incredible corruption­, waste, and incompeten­ce in the road building, food testing, security, fire protection­, soldiering and sailing that centralize­d, bureaucrat­ic government engages in. This is mostly because of the Capitalist manipulati­on of these processes -- and you need to look no further than the Arizona prison industries­' manipulati­on of the Illegal Immigrant issue for their corporate gain.



But progressiv­es will, and should, never allow the "starving of the beast" as long as the increasing­ly unregulate­d and voracious "beasts" of advanced capitalist corporatio­ns continue to engage in their predatory behaviors unchecked. You are both right.
