 >>> Andrew Cummins on Limit to Greed 
 AC> Now, you get a clue!  Most American blacks are nothing but
 AC> spoiled brats.
 AC> Now, you try to tell me why they "got so mad." 
They must have gotten your clue. -)
 
 AC> The free-market is a totally foreign and unfathomable
 AC> concept to you, isn't it?  Let me clue you in: 
Indeed it is.  I pay for whatever I get.  Just where is this free market?  
Like to get my next shopping bag of groceries there.
 AC> And, we'll go back and fourth until one of
 AC> us decides there's no profit to be made by hiring him.
Unprofitable, I'll let it go.
 AC> That's the free market.  That's what you hate.  You want a system
 AC> (socialism) that creates inequity.  What you want causes the
 AC> problems you claim to want to solve.  You are backwards, you are
 AC> illogical, you are Liberal.
For your information Oleg lives in Moscow, Russia.
> Is capitalism any better than socialism?
Well, regardless of whether you ask seriously or jokingly, I am pretty sure
this kind of question contains a mistake: to me, socialism is just a kind
of capitalism with a bit different group of capitalists, ruling the
country. So the question in this form disappears. -- Oleg
Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true.

... Cutting edge of blunt statement isn't pointless, pricks listeners.
