English has the great ability of incorporating words from other languages into it's lexicon. I doubt there are many English words that are not borrowed from other languages. English itself is one such word.

Look in the Oxford English Dictionary or OED. The full edition has more than 600,000 definitions in 20 volumes. It takes all that space giving the etymology, historical formation, or origins of words. I found my spelling of time as "tyme" in the OED.

"Qi" is one of the alternate spellings for the Asian word for the circulating life energy in all living things. Other spellings are "chi" and "ki".

Saddam did have WMDs. And he used them against other Iraqis while Reagan and Bush Sr armed and supported him. He was all those things while the US supported him too.

By definition slaves are not free. Even so called wage slaves are free, they are free to quit work. And their employer will not go out looking for them to put them in chains. Of course workers may feel they have to work, to pay for shelter and food, but they are free to find other ways of doing so.

Do you have evidence of this? Here's evidence that disputes Saddam and bin Laden worked together:

• Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda link allegations.
• Bin Laden Labels Saddam an Infidel - Jazeera TV
• Study Finds No Link Between Saddam, bin Laden. This one's dated 12 March 2008.

Where are the WMDs that were found? I have not heard anything about any found. There was something about fighter jets buried in the sand and some parts buried in a garden, however a jet is not a WMD and the parts won't compleat a whole WMD. You also said what was found was US made. Reagan and Bush Sr both supported Saddam while it was public knowledge Saddam was using WMDs. He massacred many people and neither Reagan nor Bush Sr did anything about it. They actually tried and succeeded in stopping congress from punishing Saddam. How Reagan Armed Saddam with Chemical Weapons.

Saddam did have WMDs, and he used them. He used them in the 1980s when the Reagan and Bush Sr admins armed and supported Saddam.

• Reagan’s WMD Connection to Saddam Hussein.
• Saddam says Reagan helped him during Iran-Iraq war; Reagan and me, good: Saddam.
• The Reagan-Saddam Connection: "We Create These Monsters And When It’s Not Convenient We Cover Them Up".
• Gassing His Own People?

And most telling: The world's most heinous crime:
"Declassified U.S. government documents show that while Saddam Hussein was gassing Iraqi Kurds, the U.S. opposed punishing Iraq with a trade embargo because it was cultivating Iraq as an ally against Iran and as a market for U.S. farm exports." Trade was more important than people's lives.

Free trade requires voluntary exchanges. Not everyone agreed to pollute the air over LA. Many actually fought against pollution.

Sure some media producers want full control of their media, but not all do. And technology will always be able to break attempts to lock the media. An instance of producers who want to share their product was the Grateful Dead. The band not only did not sue people for recording their concerts, they actually encouraged Deadheads to do so. John Perry Barlow, who started the Electronic Frontier Foundation or EFF, wrote songs for the Dead. And in case you don't know about the EFF, it fights to preserve personal liberties and fair use. I myself am a programmer and content producer, as are you, and I don't want compleat control of what I produce. I haven't produced anything professionally yet but I like BSD style licenses, with two possible conditions, including being given credit for my work.

Oh, contrar. In free markets copyrights do not exist. Copyrights are government granted monopolies, therefore they can not make a free market.

I'd prefer a freer market than what we have now, a bunch of government interference. As for statists, they come in various sizes and shapes.

Falcon

A free market didn't pollute the air above LA either.
