And this is a Harvard professor? And dig this line on page 2, "What is certain: Capitalism is eliminating moral values, as Nobel economist Milton Friedman and capitalism’s philosopher Ayn Rand had been preaching to the generation.".

What we have is a government (politics) that is completely controlling the economics of the country. And there will not be a change till we have complete separation of economics and state. Then and only then will you have true capitalism. Right now we have looters and moochers.

    Hogwash comes to mind... As if the whole world has ever practiced capitalism... We, have never even practiced true laissez-faire capitalism, but that never enters the minds of the detractors...

        That must be why I never liked either.

          I am too old to have had health-it was all smashed into gym. funny story- I skipped gym so much-that in order to graduate I had to go to gym class (this is after seniors were done for the year) 2 weeks, 7 hours a day. all my friends came by the field and taunted me. let's see, I should be really good at bowling, golf, baseball, and archery. archery is the ONLY thing I am decent at from the intensive gym training at the end of senior year. Gym is lame. If you are doing sports at all-you should not have to take gym. damned Hitler policy

            I took 3 dance classes two days a week. I didn't need it. As soon as I had my credits, I was DONE! That was 10th grade. I like the idea that if you play sports, it exempts you from gym. Hitler policy, lol. Or big Soviet women throwing medicine balls!

              that was in your time-not mine. mandatory. vocal practice 7am 3 days a week during competition season, speech practice 5 days a week-often in lieu of lunch (during comp. season), 2 ballet classes 3 days per week, 3 ballet classes on saturday, then play practice until 11 pm. oh-and I walked 3 miles uphill both ways in the snow to school unless I I picked out a boyfriend who had a car with heat.- if I couldn't get into the fact that they were sort of learning to kiss-I just trudged home-often wearing a skirt.

                What the hell kind of schedule IS this? I went to school 8-3 (walked both ways, no hill, but lots of snow). Played softball and spent a few weeks at church camp during the summer on the beach. That was it. (Dance, ballet, singing, speech, trying to find a boy to use for his car heat....no wonder you didn't want a kiss, you had play practice til 11pm! You wore skirts in the winter?? Or was that just for warm car persuasion purposes?).

                  made my own clothes. pants are harder to sew the top stitching business and zipper/fly shenanigans.
                  I'm like a third world country seamstress three sheets to the wind. uh, no, not really. but I was impatient about the details in sewing. skirts are rip them through the machine, insert waistband, whip through a hem-voila! the part I liked was picking out fabric. I could spend hours(but I didn't have them then) going thru a fabric store fingering the goods. I made my jr prom dress. peach satin silk spaghetti straps, cut down to there-cuz it was the late 70s and no one wore a bra, cut up to here, cuz it was the 70s and swirly. I probably still have it in CO
