Oh chill

"Exploiting for a buck" sounds like praise from a RightWinger. You need to get your rhetoric straight, man; and avoid the slippery slope of judging that exploitation is wrong. Where will it end? Is McDonald's exploiting for a buck by peddling tasty yet unhealthful food? Well yeah, but I don't see you on your soapbox about that--that's the blessed "free market". Is Cheney's Halliburton exploiting war and natural disaster to make a buck? Well yeah...but where's your outrage? Do the oil companies exploit every flimsy pretext to raise prices and make more than a few bucks? Well yeah, but that's just fine with you because it's supposedly a "free market" in action.

Give it a rest, Techie.
