Well, you know how it is... I am your neighborhood mentally ill-commie-hippie-socialist-chaos monger, after all!

But seriously, though... as I seem to remember you've pointed out yourself, corrupt lefties and righties are pretty much cut from the same cloth, although they give different "excuses" for their actions. The problems always seem to happen where the "clean" (or ideological?) version of an approach/philosophy collides with the corruptibility and foibles of human nature or even mental illness.

If Farmer Bob seriously considers that poisoning Farmer John's better potatoes is the appropriate path to selling more potatoes at the farmer's market, something is (at least in my opinion) WRONG with that equation. Sure maybe Farmer Bob wants "power" over the potato supply... and the way to combat that is to retaliate and "bury" Farmer Bob. Now there are NO potatoes at all, and the entire village starves. How is that USEFUL?

And that's just a question, and my NO means an implication that "the government" should be in charge of the means of production.
