I'm not exactly sure what sort of argument you are trying to make with this one, but I find it less than compelling at the moment.

So basically, capitalism can be circumnavigated as long as the government can convince the unwashed masses that massive monetary inefficiency is totally necessary to keep us safe?  Hmm, that pretty much sounds like my criticism of the whole thing.  Anyways, you seem to view me as some sort of liberal loon who heard some soundbytes about Haliburton and is just getting on his uninformed high-horse.

Leave Haliburton alone!!!!!
