[K. Darien Freeheart]

Thought this was a great article, and especially great that it came from the Wall Street Journal.

Not all of corporate America is authoritarian, but I've yet to know of any environmentalists that aren't socialist in some way.

Small companies are usually more pro–free market, but the big ones have all bribed their way to greatness. The urge to use the State's force-for-hire in order to attempt to create barriers to market entry, and in some cases outright monopolies, is too great for them.

And, if one wants to be a purist about things, any corporation in possession of "intellectual property" is benefiting from the power of the State—and that's all of them, because registering a corporate name is using the power of the State to enforce an exclusive entitlement to said name.

I think Denis Goddard is pretty green.

Jeremy I'm aware of all that I was just pointing out that you used the broad brush stroke "corporate America". Only thing I don't agree with is that all big companies have used the state to get as big as they are. That's another broad brush stroke. Now environmentalists that aren't socialist, I was talking more about organizations. I should have said "environmentalist groups".
