Governments counterbalance the negative effects of "approximations of free market capitalism". Those approximations led to the deaths of infants from Melamine-laced milk, and the collapse/fires in factories in Bangladesh. Yes, building codes requiring safe buildings, and product safety laws force costs down unwilling throats screaming for less government interference and more free market. But there is no intrinsic force in "free market capitalism" that would _prevent_ such abuses. (If there were, those abuses would not happen, rather ther is plenty of evidence to the contrary.)

Yup, /. is self-destructing. Look at all the effort and time large numbers of posters have put in to explain why they don't like the OP or these articles. All this, instead of posting articles they DO want to read.
