Sorry. That sentence should have been:
'So it might be a wait and see game for Google, Gmail and Big Money.'

Georgia. Southeastern USA. Farmers employ dozens of workers and buy lots of
large machines, feeding our economy and feeding the world. They work 12-16
hours a day, and deserve every penny they make.
It is easy to have a strong economy in a rich imperialist country if you
are robbing the third world of their resources and use it to keep the
population of the rich country reasonably happy.

Imperialist?

When is the last time we took land from someone? In the 1800's?

You are welcome to move this discussion to a more appropriate newsgroup

You are correct. I hope I have not bored anyone with my off-topic chatter.

Bitwise "bobad" ? :)

Freeware, voluntary cooperation and democracy are not in the interest of
capitalism. On the contrary, these factors are diametrically opposite of
the ideology of free market capitalism.

Just to be more precise, "free market" and "capitalism" are not
identical. Especially "state capitalism" which is what we have now,
with corporations licensed by the state to raise capital with limited
liability and in turn control markets by buying up politicians. State
capitalism is more akin to state socialism than any true free market.

In a truly free market, you'd have no corporations - only "companies"
as in the 1800's. And you could easily have freeware, voluntary
cooperation and "democracy" (whatever that is) in such a situation.

That's a bit of a cynical view RSH, but basically true. Free market does
still exist in this country, but is sick. That which is broken on our free
market system can easily be fixed. Businesses are taxed to death, and
naturally seek any refuge from taxes they can to survive. It's not the fault
of the corporations, it's the fault of the people. The people bitch and
bellyache about this situation, but do nothing about it. So we get what we
deserve. Until we start voting free market advocates into office, we need to
sit down and shut up about the situation we made for ourselves.

There's nothing I would like better than to see a flat tax. No more
corporations, no more tax loopholes, no more teams of fat corporate lawyers.
Everyone pays 10% whether you make 10K or a billion a year. Our companies
could breathe once more, and compete in the world markets. Our economy would
absolutely explode.

It won't happen soon though. The Congress does not want to relinquish their
power over the corporations.

Freeware is alive and well in the USA and the world. It isn't tied to the
standard business model.

Excuse me, but can you explain what you mean when you say that FREE
MARKET CAPITALISM is the diametrical opposite of FREE MARKET
CAPITALISM?

That seems to be the kind of logic a socialist would use. Not that
you'd ever admit to being a socialist, of course.

I said that freeware is opposite capitalism, which want to involve all
transactions in its own monetary system.

Calling somebody a socialist means very different things to US-americans
and the rest of the world.

I would prefer to reply to political discussions in a more appropriate
newsgroup, and I know one very suitable, alt.society.futures

You are welcome to change the newsgroup line to that newsgroup.

I don't know where they went to school but up here in New England the
Socio-economy was called Modified Socialist Capitalism which to me means
that the people(Socialists) work for large companies(Capitalism) for the
better of society. Then we divurge. The key word is modified meaning a not
strict meaning of the phrase. In other words, there are ways to get ahead
without breaking the law or the system without paying the price to the
government or law-enforcement.

OBS: Intelligence in the USA is measured in wealth and how to achieve it and
not IQ. I have a tendancy to believe this. The more you have or can get the
longer you shall survive. Of course that doesn't take into account street
smarts if the "haves" get that low. It would be "gnaw city" if they did.
I have a tendency through experience to believe that also.
