You stepped up to the plate, and I appreciate that. I don't want to respond point by point, since you did elect to exit the discussion, and I don't want to have to have the last word. With that being said, I would only say that I think you very well fit the definition of an ideologue and that this worries me as it can render a person incapable for flexibility. You never say, "yeah, well, that may be a place where the market wouldn't offer the best solution." Instead it's always "the market will figure it out" even when everything aside from your ideology seems to hint that it wont.

Also, a solution to a problem that is neither practical nor logistically feasible, is not a solution.
