[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [qb] Oh, and as for Taney... He was from a SLAVE OWNING FAMILY... No wonder he ruled as he did... [/qb][/QUOTE]and that is my point. people always work in their own interest. that interest is never in other peoples interest, whether it be political or financial. Slavery was a business propositoin that was very profitable to a small few. Very few in fact, but it was extremely profitable. New Orleans was wealthier than New York city in terms of bank deposits just before the Civil War. The area around Natchez MS was the wealthiest area in the country ;) the abolition of slavery is one of the few issues in history where people showed interest in other people's better interests... this is why we end up having to make political compromises and looking to judges for fair rulings that take the larger picture into account. this is why laissez faire economics in fact DO NOT WORK! They are very nice sounding theory that mathces evolution, but evolution has no planning. AT&T? i owned stock in them before they split up as result of the antitrust laws.... today we have real competition in communications. we could not hae had cell phones without ATT being broken up...ATT would never have allowed it... Captialism tries to destroy itself over and over again and i am a Capitalist, but i recognise that capitalism unchecked and unregulated is just as devastating as communism is. too much regulation is bad too, but deciding what is too much and what is not enough is the hard part...
