Its what they did NOT! impeed!, like enforcing stricter safety protocols on UC...see perfect freedom, but UC had all the profit motive to make sure that didnt happen RIGHT?! Alas the hubris of man.
Another one of those insights that you can reach by sitting in a corner and thinking: if a company, which has the monetary incentive to, does not have the perfect information as to which is the best safety protocol, a government who knows absolutely NOTHING about the production of pesticide does not.
The main problem I see with your argument is that it is a religious, not a rational one. You don't see government as a collection of people who direct an apparatus of coercion and compulsion; you see a God cometh down to Earth, doted with perfect knowledge on how to make every human endeavour safe from hurting third parties: from rocket launching to pesticide production.
If you just think of the wide array of human activities and apply your 'like enforcing stricter safety protocols on *insert company name here*' you will hopefully see the utter absurdity of your way of thinking.
Jesus christ....what i said was its not just the one or the either!
Yes hun. And I am disputing that. Even with a lot of state run enterprises, so long as there is a stock market and private property in the means of production we have a market economy guided by the profit motive, otherwise we have a planned socialistic economy. There is no 'third way'. You say 'its not just the one or the other' but you fail to actually demonstrate it. Its not much to ask you to give substance to your fantastic claims.
You have not actually answered ANY of my contentions, just evaded everything. You're not really equipped for this kind of discussion. Read up on Marx and his critics before you accuse others of being 'nutters as the marxists'.
