>>I completely agree that there is a lot injustice to be addressed and I always feel we are not getting our money's worth out of our governments. but I also have low expectations that government is qualified to social engineer solutions to many of these problems. I believe many can be solved, but only by the private sector creating win-win situations where a solution is accepted because it works rather than mandated because "the experts" have decided it is good for us.

But if the market is reasonably free that relationship won't be sustainable for the corporation because the other side of the hyphen has a vested interest in changing it.
I agree that the system is imperfect ( sometimes because of the lack of regulation to keep the playing field level, sometimes because of inept - or corrupt - tinkering with regulating the playing field )
But the point stands that the only relationships that are ultimately sustainable are those where both parties have a vested interest in maintaining them.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
