Reminds me about this coin dealer giving away his walk-in safe at a show. "It's your, but you have to move it out of here." Eric |

Technically many systems ranging from near socialism to crony capitalism to kleptocracies can still be called capitalism. Which is why I prefer the term free market. |

Only temporarily, until they get handed off to new favourites again. Naturally, this will be called "Capitalism with a side order of corruption" instead of "socialism." A similar state of affairs occurs in China. pgf -- Sander +++ Out of cheese error +++ |
