Re:Liberalism? (Score 3, Interesting)

Zeus, you accept the (current) conservative view of "liberal", but then accept the conservatives' view of themselves. The conservatives in the US (and here I am primarily speaking of Republicans) believe in socialism, socialism for big business. They will moan about a million spent on some social welfare program and then turn around and give 5 million to a big corporation to subsidize it's operations. There is no such thing as a "free market". The transnats have so much influence that even governments bow to their wishes. Look to Rollerball for a vision of that future. I am more concerned with Big Brother from a transnat sense than I am from any government. After all, a government has to maintain SOME credibility with its citizens to stay in business. The corps (rhymes with corpse) do not, they've got the money to tell EVERYBODY to stuff it.
