    Dean is probably trying to win back these people. The risk is that he might lose democrats on the right, but that's not a big problem right now given Bush's overspending.
    This is a stupid political move because the fantasy strikes the majority of people as wrong. If you're going to create a fantasy, it's much better to create one that the majority can sign on to. No?
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      Wow, it's stranger than fiction that people would actually *not* want business to be regulated. What a strange, upside-down world we live in.

        It's not that we don't want business regulated, we just don't want it over-regulated.

          I think the majority of people don't care. Personally, with the Republican drive to completely derregulate everything but our personal lives, combined with their wanting to do away with tort, I can't imagine why anyone would want to vote Republican. Oh joy, I got poisoned by this chicken but I'm limited in how much I can collect in damages and punitive monies.

              Strange that many Republicans want to regulate the private lives of people through morality laws, but those same Republicans cry "bad wolf" when Democrats seek to regulate our economic infrastructure.
              A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                    It is a stranger than fiction world to ignore the massive amount of regulation that currently exists on virtually every commercial transaction and form of commercial activity.

                      Damn, now we've got *** censored. Perhaps if you hadn't started with the jibe about "ignorant Americans" and how it was "an embarassment" you wouldn't have gotten jumped on in the first place.

                          The hard way is my specialty. You're lucky I let you learn the easy way this time.

                            MtG giving it to MrFun, the hard way?

                            Anyway,

                            Regulating industries is a commie propoganda, and should be right out. Any of you who have ever said Government Intelligence is an oxymoron, and meant it, should be for Deregulation. Any of you who have ever complained that the free market is not "free" should want deregulation. Any of you who take advantage of a competitive market, meaning if you look for sales or deals, should want deregulation.

                            Dean is a moron. If he starts reregulating things, prices would go all screwy again, then a Repub will come in and Dereregulate the market and things will go back to sheit. Then, we'll get another Dem in office and she'll redereregulate things, and the word will become as screwed up as our utilities industries!

                            I see no reason why Dean wants to do this, makes absolutely no sense. Things are finally becoming barable (at least for California after getting screwed for power), his hand in the mess will only make it worse.
                            Monkey!!!
